NEPA requires that before funding, authorizing, or implementing an action, federal agencies must consider the effects the proposed action may have on the environment. Under this statute, all federal agencies are required to analyze the potential impacts of each proposed project, taking into account all consequences as well as the effect of cumulative impacts on the environment.

Special conditions are lifted once the appropriate NEPA analysis has been completed and approved by the NIJ NEPA Coordinator. Once the Grant Manager and NIJ NEPA Coordinator have verified that NEPA compliance is complete, NIJ will issue a notice to remove the NEPA condition.

NEPA is a federal law that applies to decisions NIJ makes about whether or not to fund a project. Therefore, the NIJ Director will make the final decision on the appropriate level of NEPA compliance, based upon a recommendation from the NIJ NEPA Coordinator, for your project.

The NIJ NEPA Coordinator, along with NIJ contractors providing NEPA technical assistance, will prepare all necessary NEPA documentation on behalf of the NIJ applicant. To assist with this process, the NEPA Coordinator or technical assistance providers may contact applicants to request information needed to complete the required documentation.
