This Deputy Secretary of Energy Memorandum for Heads of Departmental Elements established a policy that DOE will document and post online all categorical exclusion determinations involving classes of actions listed in Appendix B of the Department's NEPA implementing procedures, 10 CFR Part 1021. The policy was retired after its provisions were incorporated into the DOE NEPA Order (2010 06 25) and 10 CFR 1021.410(e) (2011 10 13).
