A COMPARISON OF SIX ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REGIMES

The document provides a detailed comparative analysis of six EIA regimes, examining how they determine which activities require assessment, who conducts and pays for the studies, the timing of the process, scoping requirements, the types of impacts considered, the evaluation of alternatives, mitigation measures, review processes, final decision-making, post-decision monitoring, and the extent of public participation.

• The U.S. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is described as one of the most comprehensive EIA regimes, applying to 'every recommendation or report on proposals for legislation and other major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.'
