The document sets out the scope of coverage and identifies special cases where such an environmental assessment may not be expected. The document details the responsibilities of all Ministers; the Minister of the Environment; the Department of the Environment; the Federal Environmental Assessment Review Office (FEARO) and its successor Agency; and the responsibilities of Department officials in implementing the new policy. The document provides the requirements for documentation, public statements, and public consultations"--Purpose, p. 2.
