Council on Environmental Quality Regulations

The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) oversees the implementation of national environmental policies in the United States. Its regulations guide federal agencies in assessing the environmental impact of proposed projects or actions. This process, known as Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), ensures that potential effects on the environment are carefully considered before decisions are made. The CEQ promotes sustainable practices and encourages public participation, helping to balance development with environmental protection. Essentially, it aims to ensure that the environment is protected while acknowledging the needs of society and the economy.
