Sec.  58.13  Responsibilities of the certifying officer.



    Under the terms of the certification required by Sec.  58.71, a 

responsible entity's certifying officer is the ``responsible Federal 

official'' as that term is used in section 102 of NEPA and in statutory 

provisions cited in Sec.  58.1(b). The Certifying Officer is therefore 

responsible for all the requirements of section 102 of NEPA and the 

related provisions in 40 CFR parts 1500 through 1508, and 24 CFR part 

58, including the related Federal authorities listed in Sec.  58.5. The 

Certifying Officer must also:

    (a) Represent the responsible entity and be subject to the 

jurisdiction of the Federal courts. The Certifying Officer will not be 

represented by the Department of Justice in court; and

    (b) Ensure that the responsible entity reviews and comments on all 

EISs prepared for Federal projects that may have an impact on the 

recipient's program.
