COUNCIL ON ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY
The National Environmental Policy Act
and Collaboration
AGENCY: Council On Environmental
Quality.
ACTION: Notice of Availability,
Collaboration in NEPA—A Handbook
for NEPA Practitioners.
SUMMARY: The Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) has
published ‘‘Collaboration in NEPA—A
Handbook for NEPA Practitioners.’’
Designed to assist Federal agencies in
more effective use of collaboration
throughout the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) process, the
handbook is a product of an interagency
work group. Public comments were
solicited and the handbook was
finalized after considering the
comments received. ‘‘Collaboration in
NEPA’’ is available from CEQ and can
be accessed at http://www.NEPA.gov
under the heading ‘‘Current
Developments.’’
ADDRESSES: Electronic or facsimile
requests are preferred because Federal
agencies often experience mail delays as
a result of security screening. Requests
can be submitted via electronic mail to
hgreczmiel@ceq.eop.gov with the
subject line ‘‘NEPA Modernization
(Collaboration-NEPA).’’ Fax requests to
‘‘NEPA Modernization (Collaboration-
NEPA)’’ at (202) 456–0753. Requests can
also be mailed to NEPA Modernization
(Collaboration-NEPA), Attn: Associate

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ) established a National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Task
Force and is implementing
recommendations to modernize the
implementation of NEPA and make the
NEPA process more effective and
efficient. More information about the
task force is posted on the task force
Web site at http://ceq.eh.doe.gov/ntf.
CEQ requested public comments on the
proposed handbook on March 26, 2007,
72 FR 14103. Comments received are
posted at http://ceq.eh.doe.gov/ntf/
implementation.html.
The handbook suggests ways in which
Federal agencies can use collaboration
and environmental conflict resolution
strategies when preparing NEPA
analyses and documentation.
Collaboration is encouraged during the
NEPA process as a whole and toward
that end the handbook emphasizes
engaging a balanced set of affected and
interested parties in seeking agreement
at one or more stages of the NEPA
process by cultivating shared vision,
trust, and communication.
Acknowledging that collaboration
during the NEPA process can vary
considerably depending on the phase of
the process and the roles by the lead
agency assigns to each party, the
handbook notes that providing
opportunities for participation on the
part of stakeholders, supplemented with
outreach efforts, may be appropriate.
The phases for collaboration outlined
in the handbook begin with the
assessment and planning phase, often
referred to as ‘‘conflict’’ or ‘‘situation’’
assessments, when agencies clarify the
issues and assess the opportunity for
collaboration. This is followed by the
convening and initiation phase when
the lead agency brings parties together
to inform them about the process and to
develop a plan for how they can work
together. Sharing interests, exchanging
information, and identifying gaps in
knowledge is then followed by the
phase where participants seek
agreement through deliberation and
negotiation. That is often considered the
heart of the collaborative process. The
fifth and final phase is the decision-
making and implementation phase.
‘‘Collaboration in NEPA’’ links those
phases for collaboration to the stages of
the NEPA process, including developing
the proposed action, establishing the
purpose and need, conducting scoping,
developing alternatives, and analyzing
impacts. The handbook concludes with
a discussion of the challenges facing
collaboration and providing tools for
practitioners such as strategies for
preventing conflicts, attitudes and
PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\07NON1.SGM
behaviors to enhance collaboration, case
studies, a compendium of resources,
and examples of memoranda of
agreement.
In response to comments on the draft
handbook the final handbook was
improved in several ways. The
discussion of collaboration at the
various stages of the NEPA process was
consolidated and the guide that
provides examples and identifies
options and tools for collaboration was
augmented. Appendices were
reorganized, references and case studies
updated, roles of the lead agencies and
applicants clarified, and the
compendium of resources expanded.
