3P (Project Proposal process)
The majority of activities on Indian trust lands include Federal funding or approval through the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), many proposed projects must comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The NEPA process is intended to facilitate public participation and disclosure in the federal planning process, and also help officials “make decisions that are based on the understanding of environmental consequences, and take actions that protect, restore, and enhance the environment” (40 CFR 1500.1(c)). The NEPA process analyzes and discloses the significant impacts a proposed action may have on the quality of the human environment.
