Preparedness Directorate OJ/ice or Grants and Training Wa.,h",gton D. C 1(/531 Memorandum To: Official Grant Fik From: Alan Fisher, Senior Attorney 'Environmental Coordinator Subject: Incorporates NEPA Compliance m Further Developmental Stages for City of Corpus Christi The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the Office of Grants and Training (G&T) must consider the environmental impacts of a grant action under the National Environmental Policy Act (~P A). NEP A requires that any federally funded grant activity be reviewed for potential environmental lInpact within the place of performance of the project. Recipients of the Fiscal Year 2006 Port Security Grant Program (PSGP) grants are subject to compliance with NEP A. DHS has identified several categories of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant impact on the human environment and therefore do not require an Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). These categorical exclusions allow grantees to avoid unnecessary analysis, process, and paperwork and concentrate their resources on those proposed actions having real potential for environmental concerns For an action to be categorically excluded, grantees must satisfy three conditions: 1 . The entire action must clearly fit within one or more of the categories of excludable actions listed in DHS Management Directive 5100.1, Environmental Planning Program. 2. The scope of the action has not been segmented to be a small piece of a larger action in order to avoid the appearance of significance 3. No extraordinary circumstances with potentially significant impacts relating to the proposed action exist. Activities that involve greater potential for environmental effect require a Record of Environmental Consideration. Projects in the following categones require grantees to complete a NEP A Compliance Checklist addressing the environmental issues for each project funded by DHS grants: AcqUisition, installation., mallltenance, operation. evaluation, removal, or disposal of security equipment to screen for or detect dangerous individuals or dangerous or illegal materials at existing facilities. . Acquisition, installation, maintenance, operation, evaluation, removal, or disposal of target hardening security equipment. devices, or controls to enhance the physical security of existing critical assets.
