A bill to amend the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 in order to clarify the procedures therein with respect to the preparation of environmental impact statements.

Provides that the preparation of environmental impact statements required under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 may be accomplished by the responsible Federal official or, at his discretion, may be delegated to an appropriate State agency or official or may be prepared by a consultant to such Federal or State agency or official.

Stipulates that the preparation of any such statement by any State agency or official or consultant shall not be construed as relieving the responsible Federal official from full responsibility for the completeness, objectivity, and content of such statement in approving and adopting such statement.
