Section II - Terms Categorical Exclusion
A category of actions that do not require an EA or an EIS
because Department of the Army (DA) has determined that the actions
do not have an individual or cumulative impact on the
environment.
Environmental (or National Environmental Policy Act) Analysis
This term, as used in this part, will include all documentation
necessary to coordinate and staff analyses or present the results
of the analyses to the public or decision maker.
Foreign Government
A government, regardless of recognition by the United States,
political factions, and organizations, that exercises governmental
power outside the United States.
Foreign Nations
Any geographic area (land, water, and airspace) that is under
the jurisdiction of one or more foreign governments. It also refers
to any area under military occupation by the United States alone or
jointly with any other foreign government. Includes any area that
is the responsibility of an international organization of
governments; also includes contiguous zones and fisheries zones of
foreign nations.
Global Commons
Geographical areas outside the jurisdiction of any nation. They
include the oceans outside territorial limits and Antarctica. They
do not include contiguous zones and fisheries zones of foreign
nations.
Headquarters, Department of the Army proponent
As the principal planner, implementer, and decision authority
for a proposed action, the HQDA proponent is responsible for the
substantive review of the environmental documentation and its
thorough consideration in the decision-making process.
Major Federal Action
Reinforces, but does not have a meaning independent of,
“significantly affecting the environment,” and will be interpreted
in that context. A federal proposal with “significant effects”
requires an EIS, whether it is “major” or not. Conversely, a “major
federal action” without “significant effects” does not necessarily
require an EIS.
Preparers
Personnel from a variety of disciplines who write environmental
documentation in clear and analytical prose. They are primarily
responsible for the accuracy of the document.
Proponent
Proponent identification depends on the nature and scope of a
proposed action as follows:
(1) Any Army structure may be a proponent. For instance, the
installation/activity Facility Engineer (FE)/Director of Public
Works becomes the proponent of installation-wide Military
Construction Army (MCA) and Operations and Maintenance (O&M)
Activity; Commanding General, TRADOC becomes the proponent of a
change in initial entry training; and the Program Manager becomes
the proponent for a major acquisition program. The proponent may or
may not be the preparer.
(2) In general, the proponent is the unit, element, or
organization that is responsible for initiating and/or carrying out
the proposed action. The proponent has the responsibility to
prepare and/or secure funding for preparation of the environmental
documentation.
Significantly Affecting the Environment
The significance of an action's, program's, or project's effects
must be evaluated in light of its context and intensity, as defined
in 40 CFR 1508.27.
