NEPA create a national policy for the environment. The main purpose of the NEPA is to establish a national policy that encourages harmony between human and environment, minimize or eliminate damage to nature. Also, it helps people understand the ecological system and natural resource, and establish a Council on Environmental Quality. The NEPA aims to "maintain conditions under which man and nature can exist in productive harmony, and fulfill the social economic and another requirement of present and future generations of Americans" 42. U.S.C. 4331(a). It also has the responsibility to inform the public for improving political accountability and improve agency decision making by considering alternatives. To achieve those purposes, the NEPA …show more content…
The agencies should decide if the action meets the threshold requirements or not. And prepare an EIS which describes in detail the effect of proposed activities. Also, the status makes it clear when the EIS must be completed and published the proposed rule in the Federal Register. is primarily procedural and timing is always the main theme. The agencies should combine NEPA with other planning as soon as possible to reflect the environmental values. And the NEPA needs agencies to go deep into the environmental consequences. EA shall be prepared early enough to serve an important contribution to making the decision. NEPA is primarily procedural, and the timing is very crucial in NEPA process. It should be early enough to ensure the planning and decision. The Metcalf v. Daley (214 F.3d 1135, 9th Cir. 2000) reflects that the timing issues in NEPA process. The agency eliminated the possibility of alternatives and seriously impeded the degree. The court pointed out that the time when Agency has an agreement with Makah Tribe and worked effectuate agreements before preparing an EA. The court concluded that the EA is prepared too late in the process even though it has no significant impact. The court suggests that the agreement could make a NEPA determination. Question 5: In the US, the citizen suit is a lawsuit by a private citizen to enforce a statute. (Wikipedia) Any citizen can suit a person or organization that violate an
Every day we see art whether it is a pattern, sculpture, or even a picture. Art is everywhere. For artists to show their work they would go under the government process of the NEA. This program is wonderful on what they do with art. The government funding of art through the NEA is beneficial which helps art programs increase with money donations, the right to express your freedom, and lastly to show the public what they are wanting to see.
-The EPA is all about helping and protecting nature and our selves, they have passed many laws to keep us safe. Some of these laws include: C.A.A., or the Clean Air Act. This is a Federal law they passed to make sure we’re not releasing too much emission into the air, or releasing really bad things. Another law they have passed is the C.W.A., or Clean Water Act, this is also a Federal law, it protects our water systems from getting infested with pollution and toxic chemicals, without this we could lose our fishing

I am deeply honored to be among the exemplary students who are being considered for the National Honor Society. I must admit that this is something that I have been looking forward to since the beginning of my high school career. I believe that this organization does great things in society and that I can play a part in furthering the impression that is made. I like to think that I deserve this honor and this chance because I have worked very hard to get here.
What the NEA set out to do and what it does are two different things. The NEA is first and foremost set up as a nonpartisan branch of the government; however, throughout the past decade, the NEA has been found in the pockets of many partisan politicians. An independent agency of the government is supposedly not controlled by Democratic or Republic parties. In the past decade proof of political control and gain has been proven to regulate the NEA. The parties use the NEA to gain political standing in the races, and “[t]hey have been eager to promote government involvement in setting the arts agenda—especially in creating art that promotes the… administration” (Keane 2). Grants were given to the artist that made their art pieces focus on the issues the Obama administration was promoting. Prior to the Obama administration, there were
It is unbelievable that this year is my last year in Charlestown High School. As I look back at the past three years, there were several poignant moments when I was struggling with my classes and would have given up trying to achieve my goals. But as a diligent student, I chose to endure those moments. And that is how I become an outstanding student today. National Honor Society honors students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Being nominated to become a member of the National Honor Society is a highly prestigious honor, and I am very grateful to be a candidate.
Recently, along the Nebulosas Chain, a string of islands which boasts a dense fog and extraordinary marine life and dots across the the Oceanus Tempestatus from the Digitus Peninsula of Illysium to the shores of Obscurata, four excavations have been undertaken in a bid by Illysium to claim ownership over the isles. While ownership may be impossible for archaeologists to prove, the recovered artifacts and faunal assemblage suggest a strong relationship between subsistence practices and changes in tool technology. Based upon the radiocarbon dates, the absolute date of the volcanic eruption at 3870 ± 40 B.P. as well as the recovered tool kits, I have distinguished between three separate prehistoric periods based upon tool technology:
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) was enacted in 1986 as a part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985. EMTALA was enacted to prevent hospitals with Emergency Departments from refusing to treat or transferring patients with emergency medical conditions (EMC) due to an inability to pay for their services. This act also applies to satellite locations whom advertise titles such as “Immediate Care” or “Urgent Care,” and all other facilities where one-third of their patient intake are walk-ins. Several rules and regulations to this act have been established and it has become a very serious piece of legislation and health
I am honored to be one of the students being considered to be a member of the National Honor Society. It is an organization that many students work hard to be in and look forward to being a part of. I have been waiting for this opportunity and have been working very hard to be offered a chance to be inducted to the National Honor Society.

I believe this organization does great things in society and with the help of this organization, I feel like I can play in furthering the impression that is made.
The environmental protection agency has been stepping up its mandate of ensuring safer and better environment for not only the business operators, buts also the society as a whole.

"Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?" If some people in this country have their way, and funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is cut, then the answer to that question will be no. Many people in this country want the federal government to remove the NEA from the national budget or at least cut back on its funding. Some of these people do not think that the Endowment is necessary, other people argue that the agency funds too many artists who create works that are off ensive to a majority of people. Though it may be true that some of the work recently produced has been offensive to a large number of people, it is not a reason to remove a very useful government program. The NEA provides jobs,

The federal government has wisely divided up their branches into individual departments. This choice has allowed for the federal government to be more organized. Every federal government department is incredibly important to the United States; there is not one greater than the other. However, the departments under the environmental category have accomplished many fantastic projects that have created a healthier living space for the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the environmental category will be dissected into two main sections: the history of the department and the major responsibilities of the department.
The novel Sula, is a work which contrasts the lives of its two main characters Nel and Sula. They appear, on the surface, to be the epidemy of binary opposites but this is in actuality their underlying bond. The differences in their personalities complement one another in a way that forges an almost unbreakable alliance. Sula is compulsive and uncontrollable while her counterpart, Nel, is sensible and principled. To prove Nel human by subscribing to the theory that a human is one who possess both good and bad traits, one must only look at how she interacts with Sula, here both negative and positive traits are evident.Nel’s "good" traits obviously come to the forefront when looking at her character. One might say this is a result
