Cooperating Agencies
As part of the scoping process of the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR 1501.6), the Forest Service (the lead agency) is identifying and inviting "cooperating agencies."
40 CFR 1508.5 Definition of Cooperating Agency
"Cooperating agency" means any Federal agency other than a lead agency which has jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to any environmental impact involved in a proposal (or a reasonable alternative) for legislation or other major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The selection and responsibilities of a cooperating agency are described in Sec. 1501.6. A State or local agency of similar qualifications or, when the effects are on a reservation, an Indian Tribe, may by agreement with the lead agency become a cooperating agency."
The agencies listed below have either been invited in writing to either participate or to express their interest and eligibility to participate. This is not an exhaustive list of possible cooperative agencies. Additional agencies may be identified as the scoping process continues.
The Forest Service also published a notice in the Federal Register soliciting written responses of interest and eligibility from potential federal and non- federal cooperating agencies by August 29, 2008.
