Part 1: Define NEPA. Now describe whether or not it constitutes a special case or is it just another environmental law? (In other words, is it different from most environmental regulations?) Use specific examples to justify and defend your answer.
Part 2: Explain a categorical exclusion. Identify three specific situations where a categorical exclusion would apply (or if you can find these examples, you can identify situations when a categorical exclusion did apply). Then, identify three specific situations where a categorical would not/did not apply. What is the next step in the process when a categorical exclusion is not appropriate?
