National Environmental Policy Act


The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a U.S. law that requires federal agencies to identify and analyze the reasonably foreseeable environmental effects of a proposed action before deciding whether to proceed with that action. Public involvement is a fundamental aspect of the NEPA process. The Navy welcomes, values, and appreciates such input, which allows decision makers to consider community concerns and benefit from local knowledge. Substantive comments are considered in the development of the EIS, and all comments will become part of the public record.
