Amended Environmental Impact
Statement Filing System Guidance for
Implementing 40 CFR 1506.9 and
1506.10 of the Council on
Environmental Quality’s Regulations
Implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act
1. Introduction
On October 7, 1977, the Council of
Environmental Quality (CEQ) and the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
signed a Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA) that allocated the
responsibilities of the two agencies for
assuring the government-wide
implementation of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA). Specifically, the MOA
transferred to EPA the administrative
aspects of the environmental impact
statement (ElS) filing process. Within
EPA, the Office of Federal Activities has
been designated the official recipient in
EPA of all EISs. These responsibilities
have been codified in CEQ’s NEPA
Implementing Regulations (40 CFR Parts
1500–1508), and are totally separate
from the substantive EPA reviews
performed pursuant to both NEPA and
Section 309 of the Clean Air Act.
Under 40 CFR 1506.9, EPA can issue
guidelines to implement its EIS filing
responsibilities. The purpose of the EPA
Filing System Guidelines is to provide
guidance to Federal agencies on filing
EISs, including draft, final, and
supplemental EISs. Information is
provided on: (1) How to file EISs; (2) the
steps to follow when a Federal agency
is adopting an EIS, or when an EIS is
withdrawn, delayed or reopened; (3)
public review periods; (4) issuance of
notices of availability in the Federal
Register; and (5) retention of filed EISs.
The guidelines published today
update the previous guidelines, which
were first published in the Federal
Register on March 7, 1989. These
updated guidelines have been modified
to incorporate changes necessary to
implement the e-NEPA electronic filing
system.
2. Purpose
Pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.9 and
1506.10, EPA is responsible for
administering the EIS filing process, and
can issue guidelines to implement those
responsibilities. The process of EIS
filing includes the following: (1)
Receiving and recording of the EISs, so
that information in them can be
incorporated into EPA’s computerized
