In the course of this analysis, potential sources of relevant information may be available. For example, the reviewer should take the following steps: ` contact the lead staff responsible for reviews of these ESRPs ` contact local university departments of economics and sociology.

These offices are staffed with professionals who can assist the reviewer in analyzing the results of the applicant’s surveys and investigations and can assist in the environmental review. ` contact the cognizant personnel in 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. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The depth and extent of the input to the environmental statement will be governed by the extent and significance of the identified minority and low-income populations and by the nature and magnitude of the expected impacts of construction and operation. The following information should be included in the EIS: ` a general description of the location of minority and low-income populations within the region surrounding the site. This description should ordinarily be accompanied by two maps that
