National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Documents for Migratory Birds

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was signed into law on January 1, 1970. NEPA requires federal agencies to assess the environmental effects of their proposed actions prior to making decisions.

The range of actions covered by NEPA is broad and includes:

making decisions on permit applications
adopting federal land management actions
constructing highways and other publicly-owned facilities

Using the NEPA process, agencies evaluate the environmental and related social and economic effects of their proposed actions. Agencies also provide opportunities for public review and comment on those evaluations.
