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.
