Sec. 25.16  Public health and safety emergencies.

    There are certain regulatory actions that, because of their 
immediate importance to the public health or safety, may make full 
adherence to the procedural provisions of NEPA and CEQ's regulations 
impossible. For such actions, the responsible agency official shall 
consult with CEQ about alternative arrangements before the action is 
taken, or after the action is taken, if time does not permit prior 
consultation with CEQ.
