Environmental Impact Statement Database


Notices of Availability

All Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) prepared by federal agencies are filed with EPA. Each week, EPA publishes in the Federal Register a Notice of Availability for all of the EISs filed the previous week. EPA publishes this notice each Friday; if a holiday falls on Friday, the notice is published on Thursday.

The EPA Notice of Availability is the official start of the public comment/wait periods required under the Council on Environmental Quality's regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act.

In addition, you may view EPA's Federal Register-Environmental Impact Statements website. This website contains the Federal Register notices that deal with NEPA documents being prepared by federal agencies that are published in the Federal Register. Select a Friday date to view EPA’s weekly listings of Environmental Statements: Notice of Availability.

EPA Comments

EPA reviews EISs prepared by other federal agencies and makes those reviews public by publishing summaries of those comments, generally every Friday, in the Federal Register.

EPA has also developed a set of criteria for rating draft EISs. The rating system provides a basis upon which EPA makes recommendations to the lead agency for improving the draft.
