Sec. 3560.59  Environmental requirements.



    Under the National Environmental Policy Act, the Agency is required 

to assess the potential impact of the proposed action on protected 

environmental resources. Measures to avoid or at least mitigate adverse 

impacts to protected resources may require a change in the site or 

project design. Therefore, a site cannot be approved until the Agency 

has completed the environmental review in accordance with 7 CFR part 

1940, subpart G, or any successor regulation. Likewise, the applicant 

should be informed that the environmental review must be completed and 

considered before the Agency can make a commitment of resources to the 

project.
