Environmental Documents & NEPAnet

NEPAnet is an online resource for information on the National Environmental Policy Act and its implementation by Federal agencies, including:

• NEPA Statute

• Regulations for Implementing NEPA from CEQ
• Procedures for Implementing NEPA from Federal Agencies

Environmental Impact Statements Filed pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.9.

All EISs prepared by federal agencies are filed with EPA. Each week, EPA publishes in the Federal Register a Notice of Availability for all of the EISs filed the previous week. The EPA Notice of Availability is the official start of the public comment/wait periods required under the Council on Environmental Quality's regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act.  EPA publishes this notice each Friday; if a holiday falls on Friday, the notice is published on Thursday.  Links to the weekly Federal Register publication of EPA's Notice of Availability are provided at http://cfpub.epa.gov/compliance/nepa/current/

You may also be interested in reviewing EPA's Federal Register-Environmental Impact Statements website. That website contains the full-text of Federal Register documents that deal with all aspects of EISs being prepared by all federal agencies, and is published on a daily basis.
