Protocol for Categorical Exclusions Under the National Environmental Policy Act for Programs Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
The Corporation for National and Community Service (the Corporation) has adopted an interim final protocol that categorically excludes national and community service programs funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) from the requirement of preparing environmental assessments or environmental impact statements under the National Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C. 432 et seq. (NEPA), because the programs do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. Notice of the Corporation's protocol satisfies the requirements of the Council for Environmental Quality's (CEQ) NEPA regulations and facilitates reporting requirements under the Recovery Act. By adopting this protocol, the Corporation can better assure that urgently needed Recovery Act financial assistance is disbursed to eligible entities in a timely manner and that such funds are used and reported upon in accordance with the Recovery Act's NEPA compliance provision. While this protocol is immediately effective upon publication, all comments will be reviewed and given full consideration in determining whether amendments to it are appropriate.
