Environmental
Compliance
The National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Council
on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations implementing
NEPA (40
CFR Parts 1500 through 1508), and FEMA regulations for
NEPA compliance (44
CFR Part 10) are described. These laws, regulations and
statutes direct FEMA and other Federal agencies to fully understand,
and take into consideration during decision-making, the environmental
consequences of proposed Federal actions (projects).
National Historic Preservation
Act
This section describes FEMA's role in compliance with the
National Historic Preservation Act, and it is educational
for anyone involved in Federally funded projects.
Environmental Links
FEMA works with numerous agencies during emergencies and on
a day-to-day basis. A comprehensive source of environmental
links is provided for your convenience and use.
FEMA Region IX - Programmatic
Environmental Review Documents
FEMA has determined through experience that the majority of
the typical recurring actions proposed for funding, and for
which environmental review is required, can be grouped by
type of action or location.
These groups of actions can often be evaluated in Programmatic
Categorical Exclusions (PCATEXs) or Programmatic Environmental
Assessments (PEAs) to comply with NEPA and its implementing
regulations without having to produce repetitive documentation
or time-consuming stand-alone EAs for every action.
Environmental Review
Aids
FEMA Region IX has developed and uses several tools to guide
and assist the environmental review process.
Regional Environmental
Office Contacts
In order to streamline the environmental compliance process,
and to delegate environmental review authority to the Regional
Offices, FEMA has created the position of the Regional Environmental
Officer with specific responsibilities and clearance authority.
