Disclaimer

This CE Explorer tool is not an authoritative source and creates no rights or obligations. Review the relevant agency's NEPA procedures before applying a categorical exclusion.

When using the CE Explorer Tool, Federal agencies and stakeholders should review the relevant agency's NEPA procedures for information about how to apply the CE, including any limitations or potential extraordinary circumstances, and to ensure that a CE is current and applicable to a given proposed action. To adopt and use another agency's categorical exclusion, an agency must follow the steps described in section 109 of NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4336c.
