accompany the proposal "through the existing agency review
processes" and must be made available to the public. The
public and private organizations and individuals are free to
comment as well. However, it should be reemphasized that
only "responsible" comments need to be considered and con-
tained within the impact statement. Agencies allow at least
30 days for comments on draft statements.
The environmental impact statement is not limited to
federal agencies. Immediately after the passage of NEPA,
the states in increasing numbers added the requirement for
such statements by state and local agencies. The following
section of this chapter will discuss state environmental
impact requirements.
State Environmental Impact Requirements
Although NEPA does not apply directly to the actions,
programs, and projects of state and local governments, these
bodies are significantly involved in the federal EIS process.
When federal funding is extended to state and local projects,
an impact statement must be prepared. In addition, state and
local agencies are often asked to comment on a federal impact
statement. Nevertheless, many activities of local and state
governments and private businesses were left uncovered by
31National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, Sec. 4321-
4347, p. 2.
