SUBJECT Procedures for Implementing the Policies

Act of 1969
REFERENCE Memo dtd April 23, 71 to Heads of Agencies
fm Chairman, Council on Environmental
Quality, Subject: Revised CEQ Guidelines
on Environmental Impact Statements
1. The Deputy Director of Logistics requested that
this Division review the reference and determine what
other government agencies, specifically the General
Services Administration (GSA), have done to implement the
provision of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
which requires the issuance of procedures for the develop-
ment of environmental impact statements and to then formu-
late appropriate procedures for this Agency.
2. Interim procedures have been obtained from the
Federal Supply Service, the Property Management Service,
and the Public Buildings Service of GSA, as well as from
the Department of Defense and the Department of the Army;
copies of these documents are attached (Attachments 1, 2,
3, 4, and 5).
3. A LOGISTICS INSTRUCTION appears to be an appropriate
way of implementing the Act, and two proposed LI's are
attached. The first is a long form which draws heavily
on the document issued by the Public Buildings Service
(Attachment 6). The second LI (Attachment 7) is shortened
and is, in our opinion, adequate and most appropriate to
this Agency.
4. The agencies listed above, with the possible
exception of the Federal Supply Service, are involved
extensively and on a continuing basis with matters which
impact on the environment. For this reason they have
apparently felt it necessary to construct detailed step-
by-step implementing instructions. Even so, on closer

SUBJECT: Procedures for Implementing the Policies of the

analysis, these procedures contain many superfluous
statements, redundancies, and generalities which add
little to an understanding of the subject. Most of it is
a paraphrased restatement of the provisions of the Act
which would seem to be unnecessary.
5. This Agency, on the other hand, has very little
involvement in matters which impact upon the environment.
(It is assumed that for cover reasons, Agency activities
such as etc., would abide
by the procedures of their cover agency and this Agency's
procedures would, therefore, apply only to our overt
activities which involve the Headquarters Building and cer-
tain other Washington area activities such as NPIC.) In
view of the limited area of application, and the paucity
of actions within this area, the shortened LI is recommended.
6. The Council on Environmental Quality must
ultimately approve the Agency's procedures. If either of
the proposed LI's is acceptable, this Division will initiate
contact with the Council on Environmental Quality to obtain
their approval.
