U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
The following categorical exclusions require NEPA documentation, which will be completed as set forth at § 1b.3(g).
Exclusion Text
(USDA-38d-USFS) Land management plans, plan amendments, and plan revisions developed in accordance with 36 CFR part 219 et seq. that provide broad guidance and information for project and activity decision-making in a NFS unit. (The plan approval document required by 36 CFR part 219 satisfies the documentation requirement for this categorical exclusion.) Proposals for actions that approve projects and activities, or that command anyone to refrain from undertaking projects and activities, or that grant, withhold or modify contracts, permits or other formal legal instruments, are outside the scope of this category and shall be considered separately under USDA NEPA procedures.
