    <SUBJECT>Actions which normally will have a significant impact upon the environment, for which Environmental Impact Statements must be prepared.</SUBJECT>

    <P>Any Commission action deemed to have a significant effect upon the quality of the human environment requires the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) (collectively referred to as EISs) (<E T="03">see</E> §§ 1.1314, 1.1315 and 1.1317). The Commission has reviewed representative actions and has found no common pattern which would enable it to specify actions that will thus automatically require EISs.
    </P>

      <HD SOURCE="HED">Note:</HD>

      <P>Our current application forms refer applicants to § 1.1305 to determine if their proposals are such that the submission of environmental information is required (<E T="03">see</E> § 1.1311). Until the application forms are revised to reflect our new environmental rules, applicants should refer to § 1.1307. Section 1.1307 now delineates those actions for which applicants must submit environmental information.</P>
