The streamlining value of statewide program-level Section 106 programmatic agreements (PAs) is well established and studied at the national level. What is less known is the value of project-level Section…
Federal regulation makes a distinction between undertakings that adversely affect historic properties and those that do not (i.e., no-effect and no-adverse-effect findings). The basis for this distinction is whether a…
Background For purposes of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, Federal agencies have initiated efforts on how to assess the impacts of potential GHG emissions from proposed Federal actions…
