H-8120-1 - GUIDELINES FOR CONDUCTING TRIBAL CONSULTATION – (Public)
B. National Environmental Policy Act
The purposes of tribal consultation under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
are to identify potential conflicts that would otherwise not be known to the BLM, and to
seek alternatives that would avoid, reduce, or resolve the conflicts.
Indian tribes are not specifically mentioned in the Act, but tribal involvement is specified in
the CEQ regulations at 40 CFR §§ 1501.2, 1501.7, 1502.16, 1503.1, 1506.6, and 1508.5.
Agencies are advised in § 1501.2 to consult early with appropriate State and local agencies
and Indian tribes and with interested private persons and organizations, and in § 1501.7, to
invite any affected Indian tribe to participate in scoping.
National Environmental Policy Act, Sec. 102(2)(c)–
Directs the responsible Federal official considering a proposed action that
could significantly affect the quality of the human environment to prepare a
detailed statement on –
• the environmental impact of the proposed action,
• any adverse environmental effects which cannot be avoided should
the proposal be implemented,
• alternatives to the proposed action,
• the relationship between local short-term uses of man's
environment and the maintenance and enhancement of long-term
productivity, and
• any irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources which
would be involved in the proposed action should it be implemented.

. 9. Provisions of Section 102 of the National Environmental Policy Act.
IG
Tribes must be consulted whenever other governmental entities or the public are formally
involved in the BLM's environmental review process (see Manual Handbook H-1790-1).
This means that tribes must be consulted for Environmental Impact Statements (EISs),
major Environmental Assessments (EAs), or other NEPA documentation that entails public
involvement or initial discussions with local or state governments.
