The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 - NEPA - requires all federal agencies to consider the environmental impacts of proposed actions before selecting among alternative approaches. Implementing the act has been a challenge at the Department of Energy, which over the last decade has instituted a series of changes to improve its management of the NEPA process. DOE's efforts demonstrate that even a large, fragmented agency with a legacy of serious problems can, with strong executive leadership, strengthen its performance and chip away at old problems.
