The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) is adopting the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) categorical exclusion B1.31, Installation or relocation of machinery and equipment, under the National Environmental Policy Act. EXIM intends to apply this categorical exclusion to loans, loan guarantees, and insurance transactions. The scope of projects would be akin to projects from the Department of Energy’s Loans Program Office to which DOE has applied the categorical exclusion.
