REPORT TO THE CONGRESS


Environmental Assessment
Efforts For Proposed Projects

Have Been Ineffective





Department of Housing and Urban Development


In the 5 years since passage of the National
Environmental Policy Act, the Department of
Housing and Urban Development has not de-
veloped and put into effect an adequate pro-
gram for assessing the environmental impacts
of projects proposed for its approval.

GAO believes that the Department's com-
pliance with the act will be limited until top
management places a higher priority on meet-
ing the law's requirements. One way would be
to elevate the responsibility for implementing
the act's provisions to a higher and more
independent level within the Department's
organization.
