I recently encountered the term 'Catex' and I'm curious about its meaning. I've seen it in a few contexts but I'm not sure what it stands for. Could someone please explain what Catex represents or what it's an abbreviation for?

The Categorical Exclusion (CATEX) level of NEPA review is a process that is utilized for a predefined set of activities that are deemed to have minimal environmental impact.

This level of review is applicable when the actions in question, either individually or collectively, do not significantly affect the natural environment.

By categorically excluding certain actions from a more comprehensive environmental assessment, resources can be conserved and allocated more efficiently.

The CATEX process ensures that only those activities that have the potential for substantial environmental impacts undergo a more rigorous NEPA review.
