evaluating locations for Federal facilities, as these provisions 
synthesize numerous laws and executive orders. This part, however, has 
not undergone revision for well over a decade. The clarifications 
listed in the bulletin bring part 102-83 into alignment with current 
terminology and concepts, and aim to provide consistency when applying 
the existing regulations across Federal agencies and operational 
regions in advance of issuing new regulations. The bulletin also offers 
guidance on incorporating Executive Order 13946 into decisions
