# §200.8. AFRH participation in NEPA compliance by other agencies.

- (a) AFRH may participate in the NEPA process as a cooperating agency for another lead agency's project, or as a commenter/reviewer of another agency's NEPA document. AFRH may also participate in environmental studies carried out by non-Federal parties (for example, a local government conducting studies under a State environmental policy law) where such studies are relevant to AFRH's interests or may be incorporated by AFRH into its own studies under NEPA. Where AFRH will be responsible for a decision on a project that is the subject of such a study, and has the authority to do so, AFRH will ensure that the study and its resulting documents meet the standards set forth in these regulations in coordination with the COO.
- (b) As a cooperating agency, AFRH participates in the NEPA process as requested by the lead agency, in accordance with [40 CFR 1501.6](/cfr/40/1501.6.md) of the CEQ regulations. Tasks may include participating in meetings and providing specific information relevant to the matters over which it has jurisdiction by law or expertise.
- (c) AFRH comments shall be prepared in consultation with, or by, the Master Planner.
- (d) The responsible AFRH official may provide comments and/or reviews of another agency's NEPA documents, and/or other Federal and State environmental documents.
- (e) AFRH comments shall be provided in accordance with [40 CFR 1503.3](/cfr/40/1503.3.md).
