SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final PEIS was developed pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C.
4321, et seq.), the Council on Environmental Quality's regulations for
implementing the procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR 1500-1508) and
VA's NEPA regulations titled ``Environmental Effects of the Department
of Veterans Affairs Actions'' (38 CFR 26).
The Final PEIS assessed the potential physical, environmental,
cultural, socioeconomic and cumulative effects of the HLP and will be
used to assist and inform agency planning and decision-making. The HLP
assists hundreds of thousands of Veterans each year across the United
States and its Territories. This PEIS process has ensured VA
appropriately considered the potential effects of the HLP, a major
Federal action, on the quality of the human environment, as required by
40 CFR 1500.1.
