Sec.  1506.11  Emergencies.



    Where emergency circumstances make it necessary to take an action 

with significant environmental impact without observing the provisions 

of these regulations, the Federal agency taking the action should 

consult with the Council about alternative arrangements. Agencies and 

the Council will limit such arrangements to actions necessary to control 

the immediate impacts of the emergency. Other actions remain subject to 

NEPA review.
