Note: All definitions in the CEQ Regulations, 40 CFR part 1508, apply to this part. In addition, the following definitions apply:
Best Management Practices (BMPs)-Under the EIAP, BMPs should be applied in furtherance of 32 CFR 989.22 , Mitigations or to fulfill permit requirements (see also E.O. 12088, "Federal Compliance with Pollution Control Standards).
Description of Proposed Action and Alternatives (DOPAA)-An Air Force document that is the framework for assessing the environmental impact of a proposal. It describes the purpose and need for the action, the alternatives to be considered, and the rationale used to arrive at the proposed action. The DOPAA often unfolds as writing progresses. The DOPAA can change during the internal scoping and public scoping process, especially as ideas and issues become clearer, and as new information makes changes necessary.
Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP)-The Air Force program that implements the requirements of NEPA and requirements for analysis of environmental effects abroad under E.O. 12114.
Finding of No Practicable Alternative (FONPA)-Finding contained in a FONSI or ROD, according to Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, that explains why there are no practicable alternatives to an action affecting a wetland or floodplain, based on appropriate EIAP analysis or other documentation.
Interdisciplinary-An approach to environmental analysis involving more than one discipline or branch of learning.
Pollution Prevention-"Source reduction," as defined under the Pollution Prevention Act, and other practices that reduce or eliminate pollutants through increased efficiency in the use of raw materials, energy, water, or other resources, or in the protection of natural resources by conservation.
Proponent-Any office, unit, or activity that proposes to initiate an action.
Scoping-A process for proposing alternatives to be addressed and for identifying the significant issues related to a proposed action. Scoping includes affirmative efforts to communicate with other federal agencies, state, Tribal, and local governments, and the public.
Single Manager-Any one of the Air Force designated weapon system program managers, that include System Program Directors (SPDs), Product Group Managers (PGMs), and Materiel Group Managers (MGMs).
United States-All states, commonwealths, the District of Columbia, territories and possessions of the United States, and all waters and airspace subject to the territorial jurisdiction of the United States. The territories and possessions of the United States include American Samoa, Guam, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Island, Navassa Island, Palmyra Island, the Virgin Islands, and Wake Island.
