NEPA is a broad-based environmental statute that imposes continuing
responsibility on the federal government to protect the natural and human

agencies to create a statement—commonly known as an environmental
impact statement (EIS)—that details the environmental impact of proposed
federal actions “significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.”
