§1216.606. Integrating NEPA with other environmental requirements.

To the fullest extent possible, NASA will prepare NEPA documents concurrently with and integrated with analyses and related surveys and studies required by other Federal statutes.

NASA will combine a NEPA document with any other agency document to reduce duplication and paperwork. Thus, NASA may combine a NEPA document with related plans, rules, or amendments as a single consolidated document.

If comments on a notice of intent or other aspects of a scoping process identify consultations, permits, or licenses necessary under other environmental laws, the NEPA document may contain a section briefly listing the applicable requirements and how NASA or a non-Federal entity has or will meet them (e.g., permits applied for or received, consultations initiated or concluded).
