Environmental Policy Act—Having 

Your Voice Heard.’’

SUMMARY: The Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) has 

published ‘‘A Citizen’s Guide to the 

NEPA—Having Your Voice Heard.’’ The 

guide explains the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and 

how it is implemented, as well as how 

people outside the Federal 

government—individual citizens, 

private sector permit applicants, 

members of organized groups, and 

representatives of Tribal, State, or local 

governments—can better participate in 

the Federal environmental impact 

assessment process. This informational 

guide contains no new requirements. 

ADDRESSES: Electronic or facsimile 

requests are preferred given that Federal 

agencies often experience mail delays as 

a result of security screening. Submit 

requests for the guide via electronic 

mail to hgreczmiel@ceq.eop.gov with 

the subject line ‘‘NEPA Citizen’s 

Guide.’’ Fax requests to ‘‘NEPA Citizen’s 

Guide’’ at (202) 456–0753. Mail requests 

to NEPA Citizen’s Guide, Attn.: 

Associate Director for NEPA Oversight, 

722 Jackson Place, NW., Washington, 

DC 20503.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CEQ 

established a NEPA task force and is 

implementing its recommendations to 

modernize the implementation of NEPA 

and make the NEPA process more 

effective and efficient. This guide 

responds to public requests and 

comments received during the 

development of the ‘‘National 

Environmental Policy Act Task Force 

Report to the CEQ—Modernizing NEPA 

Implementation,’’ and from participants 

in the four NEPA Regional Roundtables 

that reviewed the report. More 

information about the task force is 

posted at http://ceq.eh.doe.gov/ntf. CEQ 

requested public comments on the 

proposed guide on February 21, 2007, 

72 FR 7876. Those comments are posted 

at http://ceq.eh.doe.gov/ntf/ 

implementation.html. 

The ‘‘A Citizen’s Guide to the NEPA—

Having Your Voice Heard’’ describes the 

NEPA process and suggests ways in 

which citizens and non-Federal entities 

can participate in Federal agencies’

implementation of NEPA. The final 

guide, revised in response to public 

comments, includes a discussion of the 

environmental policies set out in 

section 101 of NEPA, clarifying specific 

points in the process when public 

comments and input are effective, 

explaining variations in planning 

processes for Federal highways, and 

distinguishing between required and 

optional implementation. 

The procedural steps in analyzing 

proposed Federal actions through the 

three levels of analysis provided in the 

CEQ Regulations Implementing the 

Procedural Requirements of the 

National Environmental Policy Act (40 

CFR parts 1500–1508)—the categorical 

exclusion, the environmental 

assessment, and the environmental 

impact statement—are described. The 

guide also advises how to obtain 

assistance from CEQ and other 

government agencies, in addition to 

available options to those concerned 

whether an agency is properly 

implementing its NEPA responsibilities.
