Sec. 1.85  Final environmental impact statements.

    (a) After the close of the comment period, the Bureau responsible 
for the matter will consider the comments received on the draft 
environmental impact statement and will put the draft statement into 
final form in accordance with the requirements of CEQ Regulation (40 CFR 
1502.9(b)), attaching the comments received (or summaries if response 
was exceptionally voluminous).
    (b) Upon Bureau approval of the final environmental impact statement 
the final statement will be
    (1) Filed with the EPA;
    (2) Forwarded to all parties which commented on the draft 
environmental impact statement and to other interested parties, if 
practicable;
    (3) Placed in the public record of the proposed rule or guide 
proceeding or legislative matter to which it pertains;
    (4) Distributed in any other way which the Bureau in consultation 
with CEQ deems appropriate.
    (c) In rule and guide proceedings, at least thirty (30) days will be 
allowed for comment on the final environmental impact statement, 
calculated from the date of publication in the EPA's weekly Federal 
Register list of final environmental impact statements. In no event will 
a final rule or guide be promulgated prior to ninety (90) days after 
notice of the draft environmental impact statement, except where 
emergency action makes such time period impossible.
