ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: Rural Development (RD), a mission area within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) announces its intention to adopt three Categorical Exclusions (CEs) from the United States Department of Energy (DOE) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to use in RD programs and funding opportunities. This notice describes the categories of proposed actions for which RD intends to use the DOE CEs and describes the consultation between the agencies. DATES: This action is effective upon publication. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alan Hachey, Environmental Protection Specialist, Environmental and Historic Preservation Division, Rural Utilities Service, 1400 Independence Avenue SW, Mail Stop 1548, Room 4004, Phone: (202) 205–5381; Email: alan.hachey@ usda.gov. SUMMARY: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background RD’s mission is to increase economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for all rural Americans. This mission is met by providing loans, grants, loan guarantees, and technical assistance through a multitude of programs aimed at creating and improving infrastructure, businesses, and housing throughout rural America. RD is divided into three agencies, the Rural Utilities Service, Rural BusinessCooperative Service and Rural Housing Service, each with unique programs that play an important role in helping RD reach its goals. PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 RD’s programs must comply with NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., which requires Federal agencies to consider the environmental effects of their proposed actions in their decisionmaking processes and inform and engage the public in those processes. Congress enacted NEPA to establish a national policy for the environment, provide for the establishment of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), and for other purposes as detailed on NEPA.gov (https:// ceq.doe.gov/). CEQ issued regulations implementing NEPA, 40 CFR parts 1500 through 1508 (CEQ regulations). To comply with NEPA, agencies determine the appropriate level of review of any major Federal action—an environmental impact statement (EIS), environmental assessment (EA), or CE. It is the agency’s responsibility, in accordance with NEPA and the CEQ regulations, to prepare documentation that supports their level of review. Section 109 of NEPA, enacted as part of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, allows a Federal agency to adopt and use another agency’s CEs for a category of proposed agency actions (42 U.S.C. 4336c). To use another agency’s CEs under section 109, the adopting agency must identify the relevant CEs listed in another agency’s (‘‘establishing agency’’) NEPA procedures that cover the adopting agency’s category of proposed actions or related actions; consult with the establishing agency to ensure that the proposed adoption of the CE to a category of actions is appropriate; identify to the public the CE that the adopting agency plans to use for its proposed actions; and document adoption of the CE. 40 CFR 1501.4(e)(2024). This notice documents RD’s adoption of three DOE CEs under section 109 of NEPA for future use in RD programs and funding opportunities. II. Identification of the Categorical Exclusions and Additional Conditions for Application RD provides loans, grants and technical assistance to build critical infrastructure like electric, broadband, water systems, and hospitals. The programs expand access to electric, telecommunications, and transportation infrastructure, and support business growth, healthcare, education, housing, and other community essentials. RD has identified the following CEs for adoption, which are listed in DOE’s NEPA procedures as CEs B5.4, B5.5, and B5.23 of 10 CFR part 1021, subpart D, appendix B. These CEs were established April 24, 1992 (57 FR 15144), and October 13, 2011 (76 FR 63787). The DOE text of each CE has been included E:\FR\FM\06AUN1.SGM 06AUN1
