§ 1.1305   Actions which normally will have a significant impact upon the
environment, for which Environmental Impact Statements must be prepared.

   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) (see § § 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.

   Note: Our current application forms refer applicants to § 1.1305 to
   determine if their proposals are such that the submission of
   environmental information is required (see § 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.
