Sec. 907.10  Categorical exclusion.

    The CEQ Regulations provide for the categorical exclusion (40 CFR 
1508.4) of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a 
significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an 
environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is 
required for such actions.
    (a) Criteria. Criteria used to determine those categories of action 
that normally do not require either an environmental impact statement or 
an environmental assessment include:
    (1) The action or proposal is consistent with the Plan or the Act, 
and the environmental effects have been previously analyzed in the Final 
EIS, a supplement thereto, or in an environmental assessment or an EIS 
previously prepared; or
    (2) The total estimated cost directly attributable to the action or 
proposal does not exceed $500,000; or
    (3) The action or proposal is related solely to internal 
administrative operations of the Corporation.
    (b) List of categorical exclusions. Categories of action, identified 
in appendix A (attached) have been determined by PADC to have no 
significant effect on the human environment and are therefore 
categorically excluded from the preparation of environmental impact 
statements and environmental assessments.
    (c) Changes to the list of categorical exclusion. (1) The PADC List 
of Categorical Exclusion will be continually reviewed and refined as 
additional categories are identified and as experience is gained in the 
categorical exclusion process.
    (2) Additional categories of exclusion identified will be submitted 
to the Chairman of the Board of Directors for review and approval, and 
for amendments to this part, following public comment and review by the 
Council on Environmental Quality.
