58-legislative provision of state environmental policy The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a United States environmental lawthat promotes the enhancement of the environment and established thePresident's Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ). The law was enacted on January 1, 1970. As the bill was an early step towards the development of theUnited States's environmental policy, NEPA is referred to as the “environmental Magna Carta”. NEPA's most significant outcome was the requirement that all executivefederal agencies prepareenvironmental assessments (EAs) and environmental impact statements(EISs). These reports state the potential environmental effects of proposed federal agency actions.^[2] NEPA does not apply to the President,Congress, or the federal courts. The preamble to NEPA reads: "To declare national policy which will encourage productive and enjoyable harmony between man and his environment; to promote efforts which will prevent or eliminate damage to the environment and biosphere and stimulate the health and welfare of man; to enrich the understanding of the ecological systems and natural resources important to the Nation; and to establish a Council on Environmental Quality. NEPA contains three sections: the first section outlines national environmental policies and goals; the second establishes provisions for federal agencies to enforce such policies and goals; and the third establishes of the CEQ in the Executive Office of the President. The purpose of NEPA is to ensure that environmental factors are weighted equally when compared to other factors in the decision making process undertaken by federal agencies and to establish a national environmental policy. The act also promotes the CEQ to advise the President in the preparation of an annual report on the progress of federal agencies in implementing NEPA. It also established the CEQ to advise the president on environmental policy and the state of the environment.
