Sec. 907.7  Determination of requirement for EIS.

    Determining whether to prepare an environmental impact statement is 
the first step in applying the NEPA process. In deciding whether to 
prepare an environmental impact statement, the responsible Corporation 
official will determine whether the proposal is one that:
    (a) Normally requires an environmental impact statement.
    (b) Normally does not require either an environmental impact 
statement or an environmental assessment (categorical exclusion).
    (c) Normally requires an environmental assessment, but not 
necessarily an environmental impact statement.
