Environmental Compliance Questionnaire for NOAA Federal Financial Assistance Applicants

This Questionnaire is used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to collect information about proposed activities for the purpose of complying with the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA,” 42 U.S.C. §§4321-4370) and other environmental compliance requirements associated with proposed activities. NEPA requires federal agencies to complete an environmental analysis for all major federal actions, including funding non-federal activities through federal financial assistance awards where federal participation in the funded activity is expected to be significant. The Questionnaire is used in conjunction with NOAA Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). This Questionnaire has been revised to 1) remove repetitive questions; 2) revise specific questions to use plain language; and 3) add nine new questions that will gather additional information to help a wider range of NOAA programs.
