CEQ Guidance Documents

On October 9, 2019, President Trump issued Executive Order 13891, titled “Promoting the Rule of Law Through Improved Agency Guidance Documents,” which directed Federal agencies to make guidance documents publicly available in a central location online. CEQ issued a final rule in 40 CFR part 1519 to implement the Order. This website provides links to all CEQ guidance currently in effect.

CEQ’s guidance documents lack the force and effect of law, unless expressly authorized by statute or incorporated into a contract. CEQ may not cite, use, or rely on any guidance that is not posted on the webpages linked to below, except to establish historical facts.
