The Council on Environmental Quality formulates and recommends national 
policies to promote the improvement of the quality of the environment.


[[Page 96]]


The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) was established within the 
Executive Office of the President by the National Environmental Policy 
Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). The Environmental Quality 
Improvement Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4371 et seq.) established the Office 
of Environmental Quality (OEQ) to provide professional and 
administrative support for the Council. The Council and OEQ are 
collectively referred to as the Council on Environmental Quality, and 
the CEQ Chair, who is appointed by the President, serves as the Director 
of OEQ.
    The Council develops policies which bring into productive harmony 
the Nation's social, economic, and environmental priorities, with the 
goal of improving the quality of Federal decisionmaking. As required by 
NEPA, CEQ evaluates, coordinates, and mediates Federal activities; 
advises and assists the President on both national and international 
environmental policy matters; and prepares the President's annual 
environmental quality report to Congress. In addition, it oversees 
Federal agency and department implementation of NEPA.
