Sec. 91.57  Actions that normally require the preparation of an environmental impact statement.

    Significant impact. For the proposed construction of a new 
correctional facility or the proposed expansion of an existing facility, 
if the proposal is large or complex and/or controversial because of the 
nature of possible environmental impacts, and/or if any EA determines 
that the project will have a significant impact on the environment, an 
environmental impact statement (EIS) will be required. For those 
projects that clearly will have significant environmental impact, a 
grantee can save time and resources by initiating the EIS immediately 
without going through the EA process.
