                            Policy Act (NEPA)
 
Sec. 1216.320  Environmental review and consultation requirements.

    (a) Headquarters officials and Field Installation Directors shall, 
to the maximum extent possible, conduct environmental analyses, 
assessments, and any impact statement preparation concurrently with 
environmental reviews required by the laws and regulations listed below:
    (1) Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 
(16 U.S.C. 470(f)) requires identification of National Register 
properties, eligible properties, or properties which may be eligible for 
the National Register within the area of the potential impact of a NASA 
proposed action. Evaluation of the impact of the NASA action on such 
properties shall be discussed in draft environmental impact statements 
and transmitted to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation for 
comments.
    (2) Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) 
requires indentification of and consultation on aspects of the NASA 
action that may affect listed species or their habitat. A written 
request for consultation, along with the draft statement, shall be 
conveyed to the Regional Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 
or the National Marine Fisheries Service, as appropriate, for the Region 
where the action will be carried out.
    (3) Executive Order 11988 (Floodplains Management) and Executive 
Order 11990 (Wetlands), as amended, and implemented by 14 CFR subpart 
1216.2--Floodplains and Wetlands Management, prescribe procedures to 
avoid adverse impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of 
floodplains and wetlands and require identification and evaluation of 
actions which are proposed for location in or which may affect a 
floodplain or wetland. A comparative evaluation of such actions shall be 
discussed in draft environmental impact statements and transmitted to 
appropriate State Single Point of Contact for comments.
    (b) Other environmental review and consultation requirements 
peculiar to NASA, if any, may be identified in the NASA environmental 
impact implementation handbook.
