PART 907--ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 907.15  Approval of private development proposals.

    (a) Each development proposal submitted by a private developer to 
the Corporation for its approval, unless categorically excluded, shall 
require, at a minimum, an environmental assessment.
    (b) The Board of Directors may not take any approval action on a 
submitted development proposal of a private developer until such time as 
the appropriate environmental review has been prepared and submitted to 
the Board of Directors.
    (c) At a minimum, and as part of any submission made by a private 
developer to the Board of Directors for its approval, a private 
developer shall make available data and materials concerning the 
development proposal sufficient to permit the Corporation to carry out 
its responsibilities on environmental review. When requested, the 
developer shall provide additional information that the Corporation 
believes is necessary to permit it to satisfy its environmental review 
functions.
    (d) As part of a development proposal submission, a private 
developer may submit an environmental assessment on its development 
proposal.
    (e) Where the responsible Corporation official determines that the 
preparation of an EIS is required, the EIS shall be prepared in 
accordance with part 1502 of the CEQ Regulations. The responsible 
Corporation official may set time limits for environmental review 
appropriate to each development proposal, consistent with CEQ 
Regulations 40 CFR 1601.8 and 1506.10.
    (f) The responsible Corporation official shall at the earliest 
possible time ensure that the Corporation commences its environmental 
review on a proposed development project and shall provide to a private 
developer any policies or information deemed appropriate in order to 
permit effective and timely review by the Corporation of a development 
proposal once it is submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. 
The official shall designate, for the benefit of the developer, staff 
members of the Corporation to advise the developer with regard to 
information that may be required in order to accomplish the 
Corporation's environmental review.
