In the July 20, 2016, Federal Register, USDA's APHIS proposed to amend the regulations setting out its National Environmental Policy Act implementing procedures. Specifically, the amendments would clarify the categories of action for which APHIS would normally complete an environmental impact statement or an environmental assessment, expand the list of actions subject to categorical exclusion from further environmental documentation, and set out an environmental documentation process that could be used in emergencies. Comments are due September 19, 2016.
