Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed federal agencies' use of environmental impact assessments to assess the environmental consequences of their overseas activities, focusing on: (1) the requirements for environmental impact assessments under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Executive Order 12114; (2) federal agencies' implementation of Executive Order 12114; and (3) the advantages and disadvantages of applying NEPA procedures to, or strengthening environmental impact assessments procedures for, federal agencies' actions outside U.S. jurisdiction. GAO found that: (1) Executive Order 12114 requirements for environmental impact assessments are more ambiguous and limited than NEPA requirements, particularly concerning the scope of federal actions and required analyses and participation; (2) the order does not fully describe the types of documents or analyses to be used in the assessment process or call for external review of the assessment process; (3) 21 federal agencies have established environmental assessment procedures and many have applied their procedures to projects abroad, but the order's ambiguities and the agencies' differing interpretations of the order's applicability to their projects have resulted in inconsistent application; (4) questions about NEPA applicability to trade agreements have arisen because of ambiguities in NEPA; (5) difficulties in applying NEPA procedures or strengthening environmental impact assessment procedures abroad include infringement of host countries' sovereignty, increases in the number of lawsuits and costs, and encroachment upon the President's flexibility in conducting foreign affairs; and (6) strengthening environmental impact assessment procedures abroad would be consistent with U.S. initiatives to strengthen foreign assistance agencies' and multilateral development banks' environmental impact assessment procedures.
