The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), established within the Executive Office of the President by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in 1970, plays a crucial role in federal environmental oversight. CEQ coordinates with federal agencies and provides guidance on implementing NEPA, ensuring efficient environmental review and permitting processes across the government. It also works with agencies like NASA to develop environmental policies and initiatives. CEQ's work extends to providing guidance on environmental impact assessments, which includes the effects of space-based activities and technologies.
