Exclusion Text
3. Category 3 -- Program Exclusions. These exclusions, when applicable, result from a substantive review and determination by an OPDIV/STAFFDIV that certain programs or certain activities within a program will not normally (a) significantly affect the human environment (as defined by NEPA) or (b) affect an asset (as defined in an applicable environmental statute or Executive Order) regardless of the location or magnitude of the action. For example, an OPDIV/STAFFDIV, following its review, might determine that the following are unlikely to cause an environmental effect: assigning a member of the Commissioned Corps to a locality to supplement existing medical personnel or providing funds to support expansion of emergency medical services in existing hospitals.
