An environmental impact statement made under 1997 FDA rules counts as meeting a separate, stricter federal law's requirement. This applies to actions, recommendations, or reports made under this chapter.

No matter what any other law says, an environmental impact statement is treated as valid if it follows the rules published in part 25 of title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as those rules stood on August 31, 1997. This applies to a statement prepared for an action carried out under this chapter, or for a recommendation or report related to this chapter. A statement that meets that standard is considered to satisfy the "detailed statement" requirement under section 4332(2)(C) of title 42 — a separate federal environmental law.
