Screening Opinion Sample Clauses
A Screening Opinion clause defines the process by which a party, often a developer or applicant, can request an official determination from a relevant authority regarding whether a proposed project requires an environmental impact assessment or similar review. Typically, this involves submitting project details to the authority, which then assesses the information and issues a formal opinion on the need for further environmental scrutiny.
