The Council on Environmental Quality formulates and recommends national 
policies and initiatives to improve the environment.

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 and confirmed by the 
Senate, serves as the Director of OEQ.
    The Council develops policies which bring together the Nation's 
social, economic, and environmental priorities, with the goal of 
improving Federal decisionmaking. As required by NEPA, CEQ evaluates, 
coordinates, and mediates Federal activities. It advises and assists the 
President on both national and international environmental policy 
matters. CEQ also oversees Federal agency and department implementation 
of NEPA.
