The Office of Federal
Activities'
primary areas of responsibility are:
- coordinating EPA's
review of all federal Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) prepared
by other agencies under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA);
- maintaining a national
EIS filing system and publishing a weekly notice of EIS documents available
for review;
- assuring that EPA's
own actions comply with NEPA and other environmental requirements;
- providing technical
assistance and capacity building for environmental compliance, enforcement
and impact assessment in other countries; and
- working with federal
and state agencies, foreign governments and international organizations
in order to ensure compliance with United States environmental laws.
The Office of Federal
Activities has two divisions and a support office.
The NEPA Compliance
Division coordinates EPA's NEPA review program, including the review of
EISs and maintaining the national EIS filing system.
The International
Enforcement and Compliance Division leads cooperation between federal
and state agencies and governments of neighboring countries to promote
effective enforcement and compliance of environmental laws along the United
States Border. It also helps fulfill the United States' commitments by
delivering enforcement and compliance components of environmental assistance
worldwide.
The Resource Management
and Program Team provides budget and administrative program support.
