A. NEPA establishes a national environmental policy and provides a framework for environmental planning by federal agencies who conduct environmental reviews to consider the potential impacts on the environment. The lead federal agency, the FHWA, works cooperatively with other federal and state agencies during the review process. Executive Order 13274, signed in 2002, emphasizes the importance of expedited transportation project delivery while being good stewards of the environment.
