Abstract: NIST developed a NEPA financial disclosure statement for project sponsors to use in conjunction with preparation of environmental review documents under the agency’s supervision. This statement will be used in a variety of contexts at NIST. NIST will request recipients of funds for extramural construction to prepare environmental review documents and to submit the NEPA financial disclosure statement. This statement will also be used by the CHIPS Incentives Program. The CHIPS Incentives Program is authorized by Title XCIX—Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors for America of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Pub. L. 116-283, referred to as the CHIPS Act or Act), as amended by the CHIPS Act of 2022 (Division A of Pub. L. 117-167).
