Sec. 1010.8  Actions that normally require an EIS.

    (a) General procedure. So long as a proposed action or project is 
not categorically excluded under Sec. 1010.7, the Trust shall require 
the preparation of an EA to determine if the proposed action or project 
requires an EIS. Nevertheless, if it is readily apparent to the NEPA 
Compliance Coordinator that the proposed action or project will have a 
significant impact on the environment, an EA is not required, and the 
Trust will prepare or direct the

preparation of an EIS without preparing or completing the preparation of 
an EA. To assist the NEPA Compliance Coordinator in determining if a 
proposal or action normally requires the preparation of an EIS, the 
following criteria and categories of action are provided.
    (b) Criteria. Criteria used to determine whether proposals or 
actions may significantly affect the environment and therefore require 
an EIS are described in 40 CFR 1508.27.
    (c) Categories of action. The following categories of action 
normally require an EIS:
    (1) Legislative proposals made by the Trust to the United States 
Congress, other than those described in Sec. 1010.7(b)(9);
    (2) Approval, funding, construction, and/or demolition in 
preparation for construction of any new building, if that activity has a 
significant effect on the human environment;
    (3) Proposals that would significantly alter the kind and amount of 
natural, recreational, historical, scenic, or cultural resources of the 
Presidio Trust Area or the integrity of the setting; and
    (4) Approval or amendment of a general land use or resource 
management plan for the entire Presidio Trust Area.
