NEPA is the National Environmental Policy Act that was authorized by Congress in 1969 to insure that environmental information is available to public officials and citizens before decisions are made and before actions are taken. NEPA provides a procedure for preparing environmental documents and opportunities for public involvement. NEPA requires informed decision making but otherwise does not prescribe outcomes of planning efforts.
