What is FONSI/ROD, and what does it mean? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
"Finding of No Significant Impact / Record of Decision.
If the proposed mitigation actions involve certain elements, such as
when an action is similar to one normally requiring an EIS, an action
without precedent, actions redefined to include mitigation necessary to
reduce potential significant impacts below significance thresholds, or
D
actions that are highly controversial, the FAA may issue a FONSI with a
