Sec. 61.7  Legislative proposals.

    (a) Each subunit of the Department of Justice which develops or 
significantly cooperates and supports a bill or legislative proposal to 
Congress which may have an effect on the environment shall, in the early 
stages of development of the bill or proposal, undertake an assessment 
to determine whether the legislation will significantly affect the 
environment. The Office of Legislative Affairs shall monitor legislative 
proposals to assure that Department procedures for legislation are 
complied with. Requests for appropriations need not be so analyzed.
    (b) If the Department of Justice has primary responsibility for the 
subject matter involved and if the subunit affected finds that the bill 
or legislative proposal has a significant impact on the environment, 
that subunit shall prepare a legislative environmental impact statement 
in compliance with 40 CFR 1506.8.
