Categorical exclusion (CE) refers to a category of actions identified by Federal agencies, post review by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), as having no individual or cumulative significant impact on the human environment.

The CEQ provides guidance to agencies on what types of actions may qualify for CE, based on factors such as the nature of the activity, location, and potential environmental effects.

This determination allows agencies to forgo the typical requirement of conducting an environmental assessment or preparing an environmental impact statement for such actions.
