Notice of Adoption of Department of
Energy Categorical Exclusions Under
the National Environmental Policy Act
Rural Utilities Service, Rural
Housing Service and Rural BusinessCooperative Service, Rural
Development, USDA.
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.

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
