States under Article 8 of and Annex I to the Protocol shall be 
implemented by applying the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) to proposals for Federal agency activities in 
Antarctica, as specified in this section.
    ``(B) The obligations contained in section 102(2)(C) of the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)) shall 
apply to all proposals for Federal agency activities occurring in 
Antarctica and affecting the quality of the human environment in 
Antarctica or dependent or associated ecosystems, only as specified in 
this section. For purposes of the application of such section 102(2)(C) 
under this subsection, the term `significantly affecting the quality of 
the human environment' shall have the same meaning as the term `more 
than a minor or transitory impact'.
    ``(2)(A) Unless an agency which proposes to conduct a Federal 
activity in Antarctica determines that the activity will have less than 
a minor or transitory impact, or unless a comprehensive environmental 
evaluation is being prepared in accordance with subparagraph (C), the 
agency shall prepare an initial environmental evaluation in accordance 
with Article 2 of Annex I to the Protocol.
    ``(B) If the agency determines, through the preparation of the 
initial environmental evaluation, that the proposed Federal activity is 
likely to have no more than a minor or transitory impact, the activity 
may proceed if appropriate procedures are put in place to assess and 
verify the impact of the activity.
    ``(C) If the agency determines, through the preparation of the 
initial environmental evaluation or otherwise, that a proposed Federal 
activity is likely to have more than a minor or transitory impact, the 
agency shall prepare and circulate a comprehensive environmental 
evaluation in accordance with Article 3 of Annex I to the Protocol, and 
shall make such comprehensive environmental evaluation publicly 
available for comment.
    ``(3) Any agency decision under this section on whether a proposed 
Federal activity, to which paragraph (2)(C) applies, should proceed, 
and, if so, whether in its original or in a modified form, shall be 
based on the comprehensive environmental evaluation as well as other 
considerations which the agency, in the exercise of its discretion, 
considers relevant.
    ``(4) For the purposes of this section, the term `Federal activity' 
includes all activities conducted under a Federal agency research 
program in Antarctica, whether or not conducted by a Federal agency.
    ``(b) Federal Activities Carried Out Jointly With Foreign 
Governments.--(1) For the purposes of this subsection, the term 
`Antarctic joint activity' means any Federal activity in Antarctica 
which is proposed to be conducted, or which is conducted, jointly or in 
cooperation with one or more foreign governments. Such term shall be 
defined in regulations promulgated by such agencies as the President 
may designate.
    ``(2) Where the Secretary of State, in cooperation with the lead 
United States agency planning an Antarctic joint activity, determines 
that--
            ``(A) the major part of the joint activity is being 
        contributed by a government or governments other than the 
        United States;
            ``(B) one such government is coordinating the 
        implementation of environmental impact assessment procedures 
        for that activity; and
            ``(C) such government has signed, ratified, or acceded to 
        the Protocol,
the requirements of subsection (a) of this section shall not apply with 
respect to that activity.
    ``(3) In all cases of Antarctic joint activity other than those 
described in paragraph (2), the requirements of subsection (a) of this 
section shall apply with respect to that activity, except as provided 
in paragraph (4).
    ``(4) Determinations described in paragraph (2), and agency actions 
and decisions in connection with assessments of impacts of Antarctic 
joint activities, shall not be subject to judicial review.
    ``(c) Nongovernmental Activities.--(1) The Administrator shall, 
within 2 years after the date of the enactment of the Antarctic 
Environmental Protection Act of 1996, promulgate regulations to provide 
for--
            ``(A) the environmental impact assessment of 
        nongovernmental activities, including tourism, for which the 
        United States is required to give advance notice under 
        paragraph 5 of Article VII of the Treaty; and
            ``(B) coordination of the review of information regarding 
        environmental impact assessment received from other Parties 
        under the Protocol.
    ``(2) Such regulations shall be consistent with Annex I to the 
Protocol.
    ``(d) Decision To Proceed.--(1) No decision shall be taken to 
proceed with an activity for which a comprehensive environmental 
evaluation is prepared under this section unless there has been an 
opportunity for consideration of the draft comprehensive environmental 
evaluation at an Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting, except that no 
decision to proceed with a proposed activity shall be delayed through 
the operation of this paragraph for more than 15 months from the date 
of circulation of the draft comprehensive environmental evaluation 
pursuant to Article 3(3) of Annex I to the Protocol.
    ``(2) The Secretary of State shall circulate the final 
comprehensive environmental evaluation, in accordance with Article 3(6) 
of Annex I to the Protocol, at least 60 days before the commencement of 
the activity in Antarctica.
    ``(e) Cases of Emergency.--The requirements of this section, and of 
regulations promulgated under this section, shall not apply in cases of 
emergency relating to the safety of human life or of ships, aircraft, 
or equipment and facilities of high value, or the protection of the 
environment, which require an activity to be undertaken without 
fulfilling those requirements.
    ``(f) Exclusive Mechanism.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
law, the requirements of this section shall constitute the sole and 
exclusive statutory obligations of the Federal agencies with regard to 
assessing the environmental impacts of proposed Federal activities 
occurring in Antarctica.
    ``(g) Decisions on Permit Applications.--The provisions of this 
section requiring environmental impact assessments (including initial 
environmental evaluations and comprehensive environmental evaluations) 
shall not apply to Federal actions with respect to issuing permits 
under section 5.
    ``(h) Publication of Notices.--Whenever the Secretary of State 
makes a determination under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of this 
section, or receives a draft comprehensive environmental evaluation in 
accordance with Annex I, Article 3(3) to the Protocol, the Secretary of 
State shall cause timely notice thereof to be published in the Federal 
Register.''.
