Abstract

By special agreement as provided under 40 CFR § 1501.6 and § 1508.5, the National Park Service (NPS), the lead agency in this Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), has collaborated with nine cooperating agencies in the EIS process: the U.S. Forest Service; the States of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming; and the Counties of Gallatin and Park, Montana, Park and Teton, Wyoming, and Fremont, Idaho. The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) define a cooperating agency as any agency that has jurisdiction by law or, in this case, special expertise for proposals covered by NEPA. See Chapter I for further discussion of cooperating agency involvement and their identified areas of experitse.
