Sec. 58.52  Adoption of other agencies' EISs.


    The responsible entity may adopt a draft or final EIS prepared by 
another agency provided that the EIS was prepared in accordance with 40 
CFR parts 1500 through 1508. If the responsible entity adopts an EIS 
prepared by another agency, the procedure in 40 CFR 1506.3 shall be 
followed. An adopted EIS may have to be revised and modified to adapt it 
to the particular environmental conditions and circumstances of the 
project if these are different from the project reviewed in the EIS. In 
such cases the responsible entity must prepare, circulate, and file a 
supplemental draft EIS in the manner prescribed in Sec. 58.60(d) and 
otherwise comply with the clearance and time requirements of the EIS 
process, except

that scoping requirements under 40 CFR 1501.7 shall not apply. The 
agency that prepared the original EIS should be informed that the 
responsible entity intends to amend and adopt the EIS. The responsible 
entity may adopt an EIS when it acts as a cooperating agency in its 
preparation under 40 CFR 1506.3. The responsible entity is not required 
to re-circulate or file the EIS, but must complete the clearance process 
for the RROF. The decision to adopt an EIS shall be made a part of the 
project ERR.
