Sec.  1508.5  Cooperating agency.



    Cooperating agency means any Federal agency other than a lead agency 

which has jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to any 

environmental impact involved in a proposal (or a reasonable 

alternative) for legislation or other major Federal action significantly 

affecting the quality of the human environment. The selection and 

responsibilities of a cooperating agency are described in Sec.  1501.6. 

A State or local agency of similar qualifications or, when the effects 

are on a reservation, an Indian Tribe, may by agreement with the lead 

agency become a cooperating agency.
