Energy Effects
This final directive has been reviewed
under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. It has been
determined that this final directive does
not constitute a significant energy action
as defined in the Executive order.
Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the
Public
This final directive does not contain
any additional record keeping or
reporting requirements or other
information collection requirements as
defined in 5 CFR part 1320 that are not
already required by law or not already
approved for use, and therefore,
imposes no additional paperwork
burden on the public. Accordingly, the
review provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.) and its implementing
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320 do not
apply.

30.3—Policy
Revise existing paragraph 2, add a
new paragraph 4, and redesignate
existing paragraph 4 as paragraph 5 as
follows:
1. A proposed action may be
categorically excluded from further
analysis and documentation in an
environmental impact statement (EIS) or
environmental assessment (EA) only if
mstockstill on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES
there are no extraordinary
circumstances related to the proposed
action and if:
a. The proposed action is within one
of the categories in the Department of
Agriculture (USDA) NEPA policies and
VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:47 Dec 14, 2006 Jkt 211001
procedures in Title 7, Code of Federal
Regulations, part 1b (7 CFR part 1b), or
b. The proposed action is within a
category listed in section 31.12 or 31.2
of this Handbook.
2. Resource conditions that should be
considered in determining whether
extraordinary circumstances related to a
proposed action warrant further analysis
and documentation in an EA or an EIS
are:
a. Federally listed threatened or
endangered species or designated
critical habitat, species proposed for
Federal listing or proposed critical
habitat, or Forest Service sensitive
species.
b. Flood plains, wetlands, or
municipal watersheds.
c. Congressionally designated areas,
such as wilderness, wilderness study
areas, or national recreation areas.
d. Inventoried roadless areas.
e. Research natural areas.
f. American Indian and Alaska Native
religious or cultural sites.
g. Archaeological sites, or historic
properties or areas.
The mere presence of one or more of
these resource conditions does not
preclude use of a categorical exclusion.
It is (1) The existence of a cause-effect
relationship between a proposed action
and the potential effect on these
resource conditions and (2) if such a
relationship exists, it is the degree of the
potential effect of a proposed action on
these resource conditions that
determines whether extraordinary
circumstances exist.
3. Scoping is required on all proposed
actions, including those that would
appear to be categorically excluded. If
the responsible official determines,
based on scoping, that it is uncertain
whether the proposed action may have
a significant effect on the environment,
prepare an EA (ch. 40). If the
responsible official determines, based
on scoping, that the proposed action
may have a significant environmental
4. If the proposed action is approval
of a land management plan, plan
amendment, or plan revision, the public
participation requirements of 36 CFR
219.9 satisfy the scoping requirement of
paragraph 3 of this section.
5. Section 18 of this Handbook
contains related direction regarding
correction, supplementation, or revision
of environmental documents and
reconsideration of decisions to take
action.

developed in accordance with 36 CFR

and information for project and activity

approve projects and activities, or that
