Sec. 51-7.4  Typical classes of action.

    (a) 40 CFR 1507.3(b)(2) in conjunction with 40 CFR 1508.4 requires 
agencies to establish three typical classes of action for similar 
treatment under NEPA. These typical classes of action are set forth 
below:
    (1) Actions normally requiring EIS: None.
    (2) Actions normally requiring assessments but not necessarily EISs: 
Requests for actions for which determinations under Sec. 51-7.2(b) are 
found to be affirmative.
    (3) Actions normally not requiring assessments or EISs: Request for 
actions by nonprofit agencies through the central nonprofit agencies to 
add a commodity or service to the Committee's Procurement List.
    (b) The Committee shall independently determine, by referring to 40 
CFR 1508.27, whether an EIS or an environmental assessment is required 
where:
    (1) A proposal for agency action is not covered by one of the 
typical classes of action above; or
    (2) For actions which are covered, but where the presence of 
extraordinary circumstances indicates that some other level of 
environmental review may be appropriate.
