SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NEH is an
independent agency within the
executive branch of the United States
government, established by the National
Foundation on the Arts and the
Humanities Act of 1965. NEH extends
financial assistance to individuals and
organizations to support research,
education, preservation, and public
programs in the humanities. It also has
statutory authority to extend financial
assistance to cultural organizations to
enable infrastructure development and
capacity building, including through the
design, purchase, construction,
restoration, or renovation of facilities
needed for humanities activities and
historic landscapes.
NEPA and implementing regulations
promulgated by CEQ (40 CFR parts
1500–1508) established a broad national
policy to use all practicable means and

measures, including financial and
technical assistance, in a manner
calculated to foster and promote the
general welfare, as well as to create and
maintain conditions under which man
and nature can exist in productive
harmony and fulfill the social,
economic, and other requirements of
present and future generations of
Americans. The CEQ regulations
implementing the procedural provisions
of NEPA are designed to ensure that this
national policy, environmental
considerations, and associated public
concerns are given careful attention and
appropriate weight in all decisions of
the federal government. Sections 102(2)
of NEPA and 40 CFR 1505.1 and 1507.3
require federal agencies to develop and,
as needed, revise implementing
procedures consistent with the CEQ
regulations. NEH is issuing the
following NEPA implementing
procedures that comply with NEPA and
supplement the CEQ regulations.
In accordance with CEQ regulations
(40 CFR 1507.3), NEH consulted with
CEQ prior to publication of the
proposed procedures set forth below.
These proposed procedures include
proposed categorical exclusions specific
to NEH projects and actions that NEH
determined will not normally have a
potentially significant effect,
individually or cumulatively, on the
human environment.
Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review
Executive Orders 13563 and 12866
direct agencies to assess all costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distribute impacts, and equity).
Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the
importance of quantifying both costs
and benefits, of reducing costs, of
harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. These procedures have not
been designated a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ because they do not:
(1) Have an annual effect on the
economy of $100 million or more or
adversely affect in a material way the
economy; a section of the economy;
productivity; competition; jobs; the
environment; public health or safety; or
State, local, or tribal governments or
communities; (2) create a serious
inconsistency or otherwise interfere
with an action taken or planned by
another Agency; (3) materially alter the
budgetary impact of entitlements,
