The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved an application from Monsanto to plant genetically engineered alfalfa seeds that resist Monsanto's Roundup herbicide. Several environmental groups brought suit to stop the planting because the USDA did not complete an EIS in carving out an exception for genetically engineered crops.

A)?When a federal agency is taking action that could impact the environment
B)?When an EIS is demanded by environmental groups
C)?When a federal agency takes any action
