Sec. 61.4  Major federal action.

    The NEPA regulations define ``major federal action.'' ``Major 
federal action'' does not include action taken by the Department of 
Justice within the framework of judicial or administrative enforcement 
proceedings or civil or criminal litigation, including but not limited 
to the submission of consent or settlement agreements and 
investigations. Neither does ``major federal action'' include the 
rendering of legal advice.
