 CHAPTER I--FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
 
PART 771--ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND RELATED PROCEDURES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 771.121  Findings of no significant impact.

    (a) The Administration will review the EA and any public hearing 
comments and other comments received regarding the EA. If the 
Administration agrees with the applicant's recommendations pursuant to 
Sec. 771.119(g), it will make a separate written FONSI incorporating by 
reference the EA and any other appropriate environmental documents.
    (b) After a FONSI has been made by the Administration, a notice of 
availability of the FONSI shall be sent by the applicant to the affected 
units of Federal, State and local government and the document shall be 
available from the applicant and the Administration upon request by the 
public. Notice shall also be sent to the State intergovernmental review 
contacts established under Executive Order 12372.
    (c) If another Federal agency has issued a FONSI on an action which 
includes an element proposed for Administration funding, the 
Administration will evaluate the other agency's FONSI. If the 
Administration determines that this element of the project and its 
environmental impacts have been adequately identified and assessed, and 
concurs in the decision to issue a FONSI, the Administration will issue 
its own FONSI incorporating the other agency's FONSI. If environmental 
issues have not been adequately identified and assessed, the 
Administration will require appropriate environmental studies.
