§ 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.
