    Subpart D_Environmental Review Process: Documentation, Range of

Sec.  58.38  Environmental review record.



    The responsible entity must maintain a written record of the 

environmental review undertaken under this part for each project. This 

document will be designated the ``Environmental Review Record'' (ERR), 

and shall be available for public review. The responsible entity must 

use the current HUD-recommended formats or develop equivalent formats.

    (a) ERR Documents. The ERR shall contain all the environmental 

review documents, public notices and written determinations or 

environmental findings required by this part as evidence of review, 

decisionmaking and actions pertaining to a particular project of a 

recipient. The document shall:

    (1) Describe the project and the activities that the recipient has 

determined to be part of the project;

    (2) Evaluate the effects of the project or the activities on the 

human environment;

    (3) Document compliance with applicable statutes and authorities, in 

particular those cited in Sec.  58.5 and 58.6; and

    (4) Record the written determinations and other review findings 

required by this part (e.g., exempt and categorically excluded projects 

determinations, findings of no significant impact).

    (b) Other documents and information. The ERR shall also contain 

verifiable source documents and relevant base data used or cited in EAs, 

EISs or other project review documents. These documents may be 

incorporated by reference into the ERR provided that each source 

document is identified and available for inspection by interested 

parties. Proprietary material and special studies prepared for the 

recipient that are not otherwise generally available for public review 

shall not be incorporated by reference but shall be included in the ERR.
