        <text><![CDATA[ <p>Sage-Grouse Habitat Conservation and Restoration Act of 2014 - Provides a categorical  exclusion under the National Environmental  Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) for a vegetation management project by the  Bureau of Land  Management (BLM) or the Forest Service involving removal or  treatment of  any Pinyon or Juniper tree to conserve or restore the  habitat of the greater sage-grouse.</p> <p>(Under NEPA a categorical exclusion is a category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment and which have been found to have no such effect in procedures adopted by a federal agency in implementing environmental regulations and for which, therefore, neither an Environmental Assessment nor an Environmental Impact Statement is required.)</p>]]></text>
