The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) introduced the environmental impact statement, transformed decision making by federal agencies, and spurred the growth of an extensive body of environmental law. This book takes a close look at the litigation of NEPA cases, including jurisdiction and related issues, standard and scope of judicial review, and the specific concerns of litigators. It identifies key NEPA issues and offers solutions to the challenges faced in practice, including climate change and its relationship to the NEPA process.

The purpose of this guide is to provide the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) managers and executing agents with an overview of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, thus allowing BMDO to comply effectively with NEPA. This guide will help Program Managers and Project Integrators to comply effectively with NEPA in accomplishing the BMDO mission. What is NEPA? NEPA became law on January 1, 1970. The Act established national environmental policy and goals for the protection, maintenance, and enhancement of the environment, and it provided a process for implementing these goals within federal agencies. The Act also established the President's Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), whose primary role is oversight of NEPA compliance. The CEQ published Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, parts 1500-1508).

"The National Environmental Policy Act has grown more, not less, important in the decades since its enactment. No one knows more about NEPA than Lynton Caldwell. And no one has a clearer vision of its relevance to our future. Highly recommended." —David W. Orr, Oberlin College What has been achieved since the National Environmental Policy Act was passed in 1969? This book points out where and how NEPA has affected national environmental policy and where and why its intent has been frustrated. The roles of Congress, the President, and the courts in the implementation of NEPA are analyzed. Professor Caldwell also looks at the conflicted state of public opinion regarding the environment and conjectures as to what must be done in order to develop a coherent and sustained policy.
