Public notice and solicitation of comments is required for projects for which an EIS will be prepared. A determination that the action is likely to have a significant adverse impact on the environment is usually based on an EAS, but for some large projects the lead agency may issue a positive declaration without completing an EAS. A positive declaration requires the preparation of a DEIS by the lead agency. Upon completion of the DEIS, the lead agency prepares a Notice of Completion describing the action, its potential impacts, and specifying the period of public review and comment. The lead agency must then hold public hearings no less than 15 days or more than 60 days after the filing of the DEIS and must also accept written comments on the DEIS.
