sproportionately high and adverse impacts on them.(a) III. REVIEW PROCEDURES To determine which impacts are likely to be of concern and, therefore, what environmental impact areas should be discussed, the reviewer should take the following steps: (1) Coordinate with the reviewers of ESRPs 4.1 through 4.6 to ensure that the appropriate impact areas are being discussed. (2) Examine the record of the public scoping process to determine whether appropriate environmental impact areas are being discussed with respect to environmental justice. (3) Contact the cognizant personnel of each affected State for sites located on or near State boundaries, or where transmission line routes, access corridors, or offsite areas pass through more than one State. (4) Analyze the potential impacts on minority and low-income populations. (a) Briefly describe pathways by which any environmental impact during construction may interact with cultural or economic facts that may result in disproportionate environmental impacts on minority and low-income populations. (b) Assess (qualitative or quantitative, as appropriate) the degree to which each minority or low- income population is disproportionately receiving adverse human health or environmental (including socioeconomic) impacts during construction as compared with the entire geographic area. In addition, there should be an assessment comparing the impacts with the larger overall geographic area encompassing all of the alternative sites. (c) Assess the degree to which each minority and low-income population is disproportionately receiving any benefits compared with the entire geographic area. October 1999 4.4.3-5 NUREG-1555 (d) Assess (qualitatively or quantitatively, as appropriate) the significance or potential significance of such environmental impacts on each minority and low-income population. Significance is determined by considering the disproportionate exposure, multiple-hazard, and cumulative hazard conditions outlined in the
