Administrative Procedure: Standing--Appeals: Generally-Rules of Practice: Appeals: Standing to Appeal A motion to dismiss an appeal of the record of decision approving a coal bed methane project for lack of standing based on the assertion that the appellant is not adversely affected because the decision does not approve any on-the-ground opemtions will be denied when the decision approves a massive development on public lands with on-the-gmund consequences. 2. Environmental Quality: Environmental Statements--National Environmental Policy Act of 1969: Environmental Statements A rule of mason applies when reviewing new alternatives and information regarding a proposed action analyzed in a dmft and final EIS and considering whether a supplemental EIS is required.
