Abstract
Annual average environmental impact statement (EIS)-preparation times for all EIS-preparing entities combined were highly variable after 2006 and peaked in 2008 at 1,522 days (4.2 years). The annual average EIS-preparation time for all entities increased from 2007 through 2010 at an average rate of +19.9 days/year. The trend of increasing preparation times measured from 1998 was maintained through 2010, but the average rate of increase, +26.7 days/year, was slightly less than that measured from 1998 through 2006. Annual average EIS-preparation times for the three most prolific EIS producers—US Forest Service, Federal Highway Administration, and US Army Corps of Engineers—generally decreased after 2006. In contrast, the annual average EIS-preparation time for all other EIS-preparing entities combined increased after 2006 at an average rate of +76.2 days/year, and these entities produced 55% of all final EISs after 2006. Preparation times for EISs on general resource management plans required of the US Fore...
