                       TITLE 32--NATIONAL DEFENSE
 
              CHAPTER V--DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 651--ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF ARMY ACTIONS (AR 200-2)--Table of Contents
 
  Subpart B--National Environmental Policy Act and the Decision Process
 
Sec. 651.13  Classified actions.

    (a) For proposed actions and NEPA analyses involving classified 
information, AR 380-5 (Department of the Army Information Security 
Program) will be followed.
    (b) Classification does not relieve a proponent of the requirement 
to assess and document the environmental effects of a proposed action.
    (c) When classified information can be reasonably separated from 
other information and a meaningful environmental analysis produced, 
unclassified documents will be prepared and processed in accordance with 
this part. Classified portions will be kept separate and provided to 
reviewers and decision makers in accordance with AR 380-5.
    (d) When classified information is such an integral part of the 
analysis of a proposal that a meaningful unclassified NEPA analysis 
cannot be produced, the proponent, in consultation with the appropriate 
security and environmental offices, will form a team to review 
classified NEPA analysis. This interdisciplinary team will include 
environmental professionals to ensure that the consideration of 
environmental effects will be consistent with the letter and intent of 
NEPA, including public participation requirements for those aspects 
which are not classified.
