lead; Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) or continue with EIS
- Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) – Contracted Effort ~18+

Project Induction Analysis
- When NEPA is not necessary
- Proposed activities carry little risk of significant
environmental effects such that there is no need for, or benefit from, preparing and signing a Record of CATEX
- Start with list of CATEX-able projects
- Chief of Naval Operations Instruction 5090.1D
- 45 recommended instances of uses for a CATEX
- New construction, modification to facilities, etc…
- Higher level of NEPA required:
- If there are significant effects on the human environment
individually or cumulatively
- If proposed action meets any of the “Kickout” Criteria
- If lengthy documentation necessary to demonstrate no
effects
5
Kickout Criteria are reviewed and analyzed by OPNAV and listed in OPNAV 5090.1M
