Application of USAID Environmental Regulations Sample Clauses

Application of USAID Environmental Regulations. Pursuant to 22 CFR 216, analyses of environmental impact are required with respect to all new projects, programs, or activities authorized or approved by USAID (see ADS 204, Environmental Procedures and 22 CFR 216). For the reasons outlined in 308.3.9.3, however, general contributions and RDOAGs will normally be categorically excluded from environmental analysis under 22 CFR 216.2(c)(2)(vi). For the reasons outlined in 308.3.9.2(1), project contributions are normally categorically excluded except, prior to execution of the project contribution, the discrete activities of the agreement which have already been identified which may warrant environmental analysis. In executing cost-type agreements, fixed amount agreements, and simplified agreements to a PIO, USAID should strive to rely upon the PIO’s application of its own environmental and social policies for the proposed activity. To determine that adequate environmental and social safeguards are in place, the Organizational Capacity Review drafter must coordinate with the Mission Environmental Officer (MEO) or Regional Environmental Advisors (REAs) for Mission-executed agreements or the Agency Environmental Coordinator or the Bureau Environmental Officer (BEO) for USAID/W-executed agreements, who will review the PIO’s environmental and social policies and procedures. If the OCR determines that the PIO’s environmental and social safeguards policies and procedures are adequate, USAID will defer to the PIO to effectively implement them and OUs will incorporate this information into the appropriate 22 CFR 216 documentation for agreements. If the OCR raises concerns regarding the adequacy of environmental and/or social safeguards, the AO will work with the AOR and MEO, REA or BEO to include special provisions in the agreement to mitigate concerns relating to the PIO’s environmental and social safeguards policy and procedure deficiencies. Subsequent monitoring by USAID will ensure adequate implementation of conditions and mitigation measures.

Application of USAID Environmental Regulations. Pursuant to 22 CFR 216, analyses of environmental impact are required with respect to all new projects, programs, or activities authorized or approved by USAID (see ADS 204, Environmental Procedures and 22 CFR 216). Any environmental conditions proposed in a Bilateral Donor grant agreement to ensure adequate environmental review of the proposed activity should reflect due regard for both the independence and sovereignty of the Bilateral Donor. Therefore, in making cost-type grants to Bilateral Donors for activities that are not exempt or categorically excluded from environmental analysis under 22 CFR 216.2, USAID should, considering the purpose and intent of the regulatory requirements under 22 CFR 216: • Endeavor to rely upon the Bilateral Donor’s application of its own environmental policies to such activities, • Explain the rationale for such reliance in the relevant pre-grant memorandum or Project Appraisal Document, and • Include appropriate language in the grant agreement. Note also that, pursuant to 22 CFR 216.9, the Administrator may approve, as a substitute for the Environmental Assessment (but not as a substitute for an Environmental Impact Statement) under 22 CFR 216.3, the use of either:
