Title 40: Protection of Environment
CHAPTER V: COUNCIL ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
PART 1508: TERMINOLOGY AND INDEX
1508.17 - Legislation.
Legislation includes a bill or legislative proposal to Congress developed by or with the significant cooperation and support of a Federal agency, but does not include requests for appropriations. The test for significant cooperation is whether the proposal is in fact predominantly that of the agency rather than another source. Drafting does not by itself constitute significant cooperation. Proposals for legislation include requests for ratification of treaties. Only the agency which has primary responsibility for the subject matter involved will prepare a legislative environmental impact statement.
