| 97-2874 | Notice of Publication and Request for Comments | Notice | The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) has published an ``Environmental Handbook'' which represents the current environmental policies and procedures in use at the Agency. Section 231(n) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (Title 22 U.S.C. 2191 (k)(2)), as amended, requires OPIC to: ``Refuse to insure, reinsure, guarantee, or finance any investment in connection with a project which the Corporation determines will pose an unreasonable or major environmental, health, or safety hazard, or will result in the significant degradation of national parks or similar protected areas.'' The Handbook was published to consolidate a number of sources of information into a single, easy-to-review and easily accessible document. This Handbook is also available on OPIC's Internet web site at www.OPIC.gov. Comments on the Handbook and its content are being invited for Agency consideration. OPIC intends to consider revising the Handbook based upon the comments received. OPIC encourages all interested parties to respond within 120 calendar days of publication of this Notice. The entire text of the Handbook appears below. | 1997-02-06 | 1997 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/02/06/97-2874/notice-of-publication-and-request-for-comments | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-02-06/pdf/97-2874.pdf | International Development Cooperation Agency; Overseas Private Investment Corporation | 258,397 | The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) has published an ``Environmental Handbook'' which represents the current environmental policies and procedures in use at the Agency.
