Full text
(a) When a grantee's construction or real property acquisition project is considered a “Major Federal Action,” as defined in 40 CFR 1508.1(q), the grantee must include an assessment of the impact of the proposed construction on the quality of the environment in accordance with section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)) and Executive Order 11514 (35 FR 4247).
(b) If a grantee's construction or real property project is not considered a “Major Federal Action” under NEPA, a NEPA environmental impact assessment is not required; however—
(1) An environmental impact assessment may be required under State or local requirements; and
(2) Grantees are encouraged to perform some type of environmental assessment for projects that involve breaking ground, such as projects to expand the size of an existing building or replace an outdated building.
