PART 1508--TERMINOLOGY AND INDEX--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1508.13  Finding of no significant impact.

    Finding of no significant impact means a document by a Federal 
agency briefly presenting the reasons why an action, not otherwise 
excluded (Sec. 1508.4), will not have a significant effect on the human 
environment and for which an environmental impact statement therefore 
will not be prepared. It shall include the environmental assessment or a 
summary of it and shall note any other environmental documents related 
to it (Sec. 1501.7(a)(5)). If the assessment is included, the finding 
need not repeat any of the discussion in the assessment but may 
incorporate it by reference.
