Title
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Federal Aviation Administration
Publication Date:
Mar 20, 2006
Scope:
The NEPA process addresses impacts of Federal actions on the
human environment, including noise, socioeconomic, land uses, air quality, and
water quality. Chapter 2 of this order presents an overview of the NEPA
process. Depending upon the context and potential impacts, NEPA procedures can
differ. Chapter 3 of this order addresses those types of FAA actions that do
not normally require preparation of an EA or EIS, called categorical
exclusions (see paragraphs 303 and 307-312) absent extraordinary circumstances
(see paragraph 304). Chapters 4 and 5 of this order outline the processes for
preparing EA's and EIS's. These procedures apply to classes of FAA actions
that have or may have a significant impact on the human environment. Appendix
A, Analysis of Environmental Impact Categories, presents, for each
environmental impact category, brief descriptions of statutory and regulatory
requirements and a list of agencies with specialized expertise or legal
jurisdiction. Appendix B provides additional FAA guidance on third-party
contracting. Appendix C provides an annotated list of generally applicable
executive orders, DOT and FAA orders, memoranda of agreement or understanding,
and related CEQ and FAA guidance. Appendix D provides a summary of the FAA
Reauthorization Act, "Vision 100 — Century of Aviation Reauthorization
Act," signed December 12, 2003. Appendix E provides a list of acronyms.
This order provides Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
policy and procedures to ensure agency compliance with the requirements set
forth in the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for
implementing the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA), 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 1500-1508; Department of
Transportation Order DOT 5610.1C, Procedures for Considering Environmental
Impacts; and other related statutes and directives.
APPLICABILITY. The provisions of this order and the CEQ
regulations apply to actions directly undertaken by the FAA and where the FAA
has sufficient control and responsibility to condition the license or project
approval of a non-Federal entity. The requirements in this order apply to, but
are not limited to, the following: all grants, loans, contracts, leases,
construction, research activities, rulemaking and regulatory actions,
certifications, licensing, permits, plans submitted to the FAA by state and
local agencies which require FAA approval, and legislation proposed by the
FAA. Exceptions to these requirements are listed in chapter 2. The procedures
in this order shall apply to the fullest extent practicable to ongoing
activities and environmental documents begun before the effective date, except
that this order does not apply to decisions made and final environmental
documents issued prior to the effective date of this order.
