As a federal agency representative leading a NEPA project, how can I make sure health impact is adequately addressed?
One of your agency’s NEPA responsibilities is to ensure an adequate assessment of impacts to the human environment is carried out, including health impacts. To do this, the Lead Agency might partner with local, state, tribal, or federal public health agencies through cooperating agency status, interagency agreements or in other, less formal ways. An HIA might be conducted through such partnerships or by collaborating with appropriate community-based organizations, HIA consultants, or using in-house expertise. Many resources are available for ensuring that health is adequately considered in your NEPA project. See CDC’s Resources section below, or contact CDC at healthyplaces@cdc.gov with “NEPA-Federal Agency Inquiry” in the subject line.
