Text

(a) To reduce paperwork and delay and to meet NEPA's page limits and time limits, TVA will prepare analytic and concise environmental documents, with emphasis placed on portions of the environmental documents that are useful to decision makers and the public. Data and analyses will be commensurate with the importance of associated impacts. Less important material will be briefly discussed, summarized, consolidated, or referenced as appropriate.

(b) TVA may incorporate material, such as planning studies, analyses, or other relevant information, into environmental documents by reference. TVA will cite to incorporated material in the document and briefly describe its content.

(c) Environmental documents will be written in plain language and follow a clear format that excludes content that is not critical to compliance with NEPA section 101.

(d) An environmental document may be combined with any other document to reduce duplication, paperwork, and delay.
