FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael McDonald; (202) 606–8322; gencounsel@neh.gov. 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 the Council on Environmental Quality (‘‘CEQ’’) (40 CFR parts 1500–1508) established a broad SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 23805 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. Section 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. Per 40 CFR 1507.3, CEQ has reviewed these final implementing procedures for conformity with NEPA and the CEQ regulations, and considered NEH’s responses to comments from the public. The remaining sections of SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION will provide background and address comments NEH received in response to its proposed NEPA implementing procedures. Following the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION is the text of the final procedures. Background On October 15, 2018, NEH published a notice in the Federal Register (83 FR 52235) advising the public of its intent to promulgate NEPA implementing procedures, including a list of ‘‘categorical exclusions’’ (i.e., those actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment and for which, in the absence of extraordinary circumstances, further environmental review and documentation is not required). NEH solicited public comments on its proposed procedures. Consistent with CEQ regulations, NEH consulted with CEQ prior to making its proposed implementing procedures available for public review and comment. 40 CFR 1507.3. The comment period closed on November 15, 2018. NEH received comments from three individuals, which it posted to the NEH website at https://www.neh.gov/publiccomments-neh-rulemaking-and-othernotices.
