SUBJECT: Procedures for Implementing Section 102 (2) (C) of
the National Environmental Policy Act
1. Purpose. This Logistics Instruction prescribes procedures
for implementing section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (Public Law 91-190), hereinafter referred to
as the Act, with regard to the design, construction, alteration,
operation, and use of public buildings and sites, and the lease
or purchase of commercial facilities to house Agency activities.
2. Background. Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental
Policy Act directs all Federal agencies to identify and develop
methods and procedures which will ensure the environmental
amenities and values are given appropriate consideration in
decision making along with economic and technical considerations
and to prepare a detailed statement on major Federal actions
that significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
Executive Order 11514 of March 5, 1970, Protection and Enhance-
ment of Environmental Quality, reinforces the purpose and policy
of this Act, and Interim Guidelines, implementing its provisions
have been issued by the Council on Environmental Quality.
3. Procedures. The following procedures are established for
complying to the Act:
a. Officials responsible for the environmental
statements. Statements shall be prepared by the Director
of Logistics who has been designated the responsible
official in Section 102(2)(C) of the Act. The Chief, Real
Estate and Construction Division will assist the D/L as
required and provide appropriate technical competence to
develop statements in a timely manner consistent with the
actions identified in subparagraph 3b, 3c and 3d of this
Instruction.
b. Application.
(1) The Agency recognizes its responsibility as
set forth in the Act and as a general principle
environmental statements shall be provided when it

significant impact on the environment. The sensitive
nature of certain Agency sponsored activities however

may preclude submission of a statement by the
Agency. In such cases, other appropriate steps
will be taken by the Agency to insure compliance
with the Act.
(2) In view of the paucity of Agency actions
which impact upon the environment, it shall be
the policy of the Agency in the development of
environment statements to utilize to the greatest
extent possible approaches being used by other
federal agencies with similar problems and to
similarly rely upon the Council on Environmental
Quality for continuing advice and guidance. In
order to achieve this goal, the Chief, Real Estate
and Construction Division, OL , will establish a
continuing liaison with the CEQ and other federal
agencies as appropriate.
