Consideration of Extraordinary Circumstances When applying the adopted CEs, HUD or the RE will evaluate the proposed action to ensure evaluation of integral elements listed above. In addition, in considering extraordinary circumstances, HUD will consider whether the proposed action has the potential to result in significant effects as described in USDA–FSA’s extraordinary circumstances listed at 7 CFR 799.33. USDA–FSA defines extraordinary circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded action may have a significant environmental effect, including, but not limited to, scientific controversy about the environmental effects of the proposal; uncertain effects or effects involving unique or unknown risks; a proposed action connected to other actions with potential impacts; a proposed action that is related to other proposed actions with cumulative impacts; proposed actions that do not comply with 40 CFR 1506.1 Limitations on actions during the NEPA process; and/or contains violations of any existing Federal, State, or local government law, policy, or requirements. IV. Consultation With USDA–FSA and Determination of Appropriateness HUD and USDA–FSA began consultation in December 2023 to identify USA–FSA CEs that could apply to HUD proposed agricultural actions. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:09 Dec 02, 2024 Jkt 265001 This consultation included a review of USDA–FSA’s experience developing and applying the CEs and the types of actions for which HUD plans to utilize the CEs. Based on this consultation and review, HUD has determined that the types of agricultural projects it intends to undertake are substantially similar to such projects for which USDA–FSA has applied the CE. Accordingly, the impacts of HUD projects will be substantially similar to the impacts of USDA–FSA projects, which are not significant, absent the existence of extraordinary circumstances. Therefore, HUD has determined that its proposed use of the agricultural-related CEs, as described within this notice, would be appropriate. V. Conclusion This notice documents adoption of the USDA–FSA CEs listed above in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 4336c(4), and they will be available for use by HUD and REs effective either upon amendment of 24 CFR 58.36 and 50.17 or upon issuance of a waiver of these regulations.
