Sec. 1794.11  Apply NEPA early in the planning process.

    The environmental review process requires early coordination with 
and involvement of RUS. Applicants should consult with RUS at the 
earliest stages of planning for any proposal that may require RUS 
action. For proposed actions that normally require an EIS, applicants 
shall consult with RUS prior to obtaining the services of an 
environmental consultant.
