How does a Section 6001 consultation differ from a NEPA consultation?

Both types of consultations are required by law, but NEPA consultations are conducted for specific projects. Transportation plans are not subject to NEPA analysis. A Section 6001 consultation may not go into the level of detail that is necessary for a NEPA consultation and will not count towards NEPA compliance. However, if done well, a Section 6001 consultation can go a long way toward streamlining later NEPA analyses.
