For the proposed construction of a new correctional facility or the proposed expansion of an existing facility, if the proposal is large or complex and/or controversial because of the nature of possible environmental impacts, and/or if any EA determines that the project will have a significant impact on the environment, an environmental impact statement (EIS) will be required. For those projects that clearly will have significant environmental impact, a grantee can save time and resources by initiating the EIS immediately without going through the EA process.","path":["Title 28—Judicial Administration","CHAPTER I—DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE","PART 91—GRANTS FOR CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES","Subpart D—Environmental Impact Review Procedures for VOI/TIS Grant Program"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-28.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:25:14Z","sha256":"eb4293ecb3e783d1c56c2a40203bdf0f8ae65597f18379baa0a08bff51537fb0","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/28-cfr-91.56","next":"us/28-cfr-91.58"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
