Which government agency or office can assist us in determining whether or not a proposed construction may require an environmental assessment (EA) under section 1.1307?
A. Because the Commission is not an expert agency on environmental matters, in evaluating our licensees’ environmental assessments prepared and filed pursuant to NEPA, we defer to the opinions or judgments of other agencies with expertise over a particular subject matter. These agencies can also assist you in determining whether your proposed construction may affect the areas over which the agency has jurisdiction, and they can offer suggestions on how to mitigate any impact upon the area.
