accept comments. RUS will use
comments and input provided by
government agencies, private
organizations, and the public in the
preparation of the Draft EA. If RUS
finds, based on the EA, that the
proposed action will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the
human environment, RUS will prepare
a Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI). Public notification of a
Finding of No Significant Impact would
be published in the Federal Register
and in newspapers with circulation in
the project area. RUS may take its final
action on proposed actions requiring an
EA (§ 1794.23) any time after
publication of applicant notices that a
FONSI has been made and any required
review period has expired. When
substantive comments are received on
the EA, RUS may provide an additional
period (15 days) for public review
following the publication of its FONSI
determination. Final action will not be
taken until this review period has
expired. Where appropriate to carry out
the purposes of NEPA, RUS may
impose, on a case-by-case basis,
additional requirements associated with
the preparation of an EA. If at any point
in the preparation of an EA, RUS
determines that the proposed action will
have a significant effect on the quality
of the human environment, the
preparation of an Environmental Impact
Statement will be required.
Any final action by RUS related to the
proposed action will be subject to, and
contingent upon, compliance with all
relevant Federal, State, and local
environmental laws and regulations and
completion of the environmental review
requirements as prescribed in the RUS
Environmental Policies and Procedures
(7 CFR part 1794).

affordable food available in low-income
areas, to improve access for small and
mid-sized agricultural producers, and to
