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 Off‌i ce 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 Off‌i ce 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 conf‌i rmed 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.
