Abstract: National Environmental Policy Act’s (NEPA) implementing regulations under 40 CFR parts 1500-1508, and the HHS General Administration Manual Part 30 Environmental Protection procedures, require HRSA to consider the potential impacts of a proposed action on the human environment prior to committing the Agency to the action. The NEPA process incorporates consideration of other related federal environmental and historic preservation laws with which HRSA, and applicants must also comply. The series of questions in the Environmental Information and Documentation (EID) form collects specific project and site related information not collected in other application forms. This information is needed to determine the level of review required under NEPA and related laws. HRSA uses the information collected to determine compliance with NEPA, and the EID becomes part of the administrative record for grantees to meet their assurances requirements for receiving a grant. HRSA will use the EID information along with overall program applications to determine eligibility and the level of environmental review required under NEPA for construction related awards. For example, information submitted on the EID may show that the proposed project impact is minimal and therefore the project requires no further review under NEPA and other related laws. Alternatively, the results of the EID may also identify that the proposed project does require further review and evaluation such as: 1) the preparation and public notice of an Environmental Assessment under NEPA; 2) consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA); 3) site testing for the presence of hazardous materials such as asbestos or lead; or 4) further consultation and coordination with other Federal Agencies on issues such as endangered species, floodplain management or wetland permits.
