needs. 

10. 7 CFR 799.32(e)(2)(xxxvii): 

Watering tank or trough installation, if 

in areas not previously disturbed. 

HUD Level of Review: CEST. 

Potential application to HUD 

activities:

11. 7 CFR 799.32(e)(2)(xxxviii): Wells. 

HUD Level of Review: CEST.

III. Consideration of Extraordinary 

Circumstances 

When applying the adopted CEs, HUD 

or the RE will evaluate the proposed 

action to ensure evaluation of integral 

elements listed above. In addition, in 

considering extraordinary 

circumstances, HUD will consider 

whether the proposed action has the 

potential to result in significant effects 

as described in USDA–FSA’s 

extraordinary circumstances listed at 7 

CFR 799.33. USDA–FSA defines 

extraordinary circumstances in which a 

normally categorically excluded action 

may have a significant environmental 

effect, including, but not limited to, 

scientific controversy about the 

environmental effects of the proposal; 

uncertain effects or effects involving 

unique or unknown risks; a proposed 

action connected to other actions with 

potential impacts; a proposed action 

that is related to other proposed actions 

with cumulative impacts; proposed 

actions that do not comply with 40 CFR 

1506.1 Limitations on actions during the 

NEPA process; and/or contains 

violations of any existing Federal, State, 

or local government law, policy, or 

requirements. 

IV. Consultation With USDA–FSA and 

Determination of Appropriateness 

HUD and USDA–FSA began 

consultation in December 2023 to 

identify USA–FSA CEs that could apply 

to HUD proposed agricultural actions. 

This consultation included a review of 

USDA–FSA’s experience developing 

and applying the CEs and the types of 

actions for which HUD plans to utilize 

the CEs. Based on this consultation and 

review, HUD has determined that the 

types of agricultural projects it intends 

to undertake are substantially similar to 

such projects for which USDA–FSA has 

applied the CE. Accordingly, the 

impacts of HUD projects will be 

substantially similar to the impacts of 

USDA–FSA projects, which are not 

significant, absent the existence of 

extraordinary circumstances. Therefore, 

HUD has determined that its proposed 

use of the agricultural-related CEs, as 

described within this notice, would be 

appropriate. 

V. Conclusion 

This notice documents adoption of 

the USDA–FSA CEs listed above in 

accordance with 42 U.S.C. 4336c(4), and 

they will be available for use by HUD 

and REs effective either upon 

amendment of 24 CFR 58.36 and 50.17 

or upon issuance of a waiver of these 

regulations.
