Sec. 3407.5  Classes of action.

    The following describes typical classes of action associated with 
CSREES programs and related activities:
    (a) Actions which normally do not require the preparation of an EA 
or an EIS are those actions which ordinarily do not have significant 
individual or cumulative effect on the quality of the human environment. 
These include those activities described in Sec. Sec. 3407.6 (a)(1) and 
(a)(2) of this part.
    (b) Actions normally requiring an EA, but not necessarily an EIS, 
are those projects in which at least some level of uncertainty exists 
regarding individual or cumulative effects on the quality of the human 
environment. Such actions generally include those identified in 
Sec. Sec. 3407.6(b) and 3407.7 of this part.
    (c) Actions normally requiring an EIS are projects which are 
determined to have a significant impact on the quality of the human 
environment or which will be performed under extraordinary 
circumstances. These types of actions are identified in Sec. Sec. 
3407.6(b) and 3407.8 of this part.
