The
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) (Pub. L. 91–190) requires that
the Federal government examine the
impact of its actions on the
environment, look at potential
alternatives to that action, inform both
decision-makers and the public of those
impacts through a transparent process,
and pursue mitigation if necessary.
Environmental and Historic
Preservation (EHP) compliance refers to
the process by which the Federal
government ensures that projects
financed through Federal grant funding
are compliant with NEPA and existing
laws and regulations related to
environment and historic preservation.
Compliance under NEPA is required
whenever Federal funds are expended
as listed in Sec. 102(D) of the National
Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.
4332(D)). A NEPA compliance review
process for FEMA grant programs
incorporates compliance with Section
106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) (Pub. L. 102–
575, 16 U.S.C. 470f) which requires that
a Federal official, having jurisdiction
over awarding of Federal funds, will
have to take into consideration the effect
that the actions undertaken as a result
of the awarded funds have on any
district, site, building, structure, or
object that is included in or eligible for
inclusion in the National Register.
