§ 1.1319   Consideration of the environmental impact statements.

   (a) If the action is subject to a hearing:

   (1) In rendering his initial decision, the Administrative Law Judge
   shall utilize the FEIS in considering the environmental issues,
   together with all other non-environmental issues. In a comparative
   context, the respective parties shall be afforded the opportunity to
   comment on the FEIS, and the Administrative Law Judge's decision shall
   contain an evaluation of the respective applications based on
   environmental and non-environmental public interest factors.

   (2) Upon review of an initial decision, the Commission will consider
   and assess all aspects of the FEIS and will render its decision, giving
   due consideration to the environmental and nonenvironmental issues.

   (b) In all non-hearing matters, the Commission, as part of its
   decision-making process, will review the FEIS, along with other
   relevant issues, to ensure that the environmental effects are
   specifically assessed and given comprehensive consideration.
