The National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) requires an in-depth evaluation of the environmental impacts of federal actions, including actions by the federal agency itself, through issuance of a federal permit to private parties or where federal financial assistance is provided for a project. NEPA was signed into law by Richard M. Nixon in 1970, and the Council for Environmental Quality (“CEQ”) published NEPA’s implementing regulations in 1978.
