Conn. Agencies Regs. § 22a-1a-2 - Determination of sponsoring agency
(a) Each agency
responsible for the recommendation or initiation of an action is considered a
sponsoring agency for the purpose of the Act and the CEPA regulations. When
more than one agency is involved in the recommendation or initiation of an
action, one agency shall act as the sponsoring agency. The participating agency
or agencies not acting as the sponsoring agency shall share with the sponsoring
agency the responsibility for the scope and content of environmental review
documents prepared pursuant to the Act and the CEPA regulations.
(b) The determination of the sponsoring
agency shall be based on the:
(1) Magnitude
of the agency's involvement;
(2)
Activity approval or disapproval authority;
(3) Expertise concerning the action's
environmental effects;
(4) Duration
of the agency's involvement;
(5)
Sequence of the agency's involvement.
(c) The sponsoring agency may delegate the
task of preparing any environmental review document to a contractor. When such
a document is prepared for the sponsoring agency by a contractor, the
contractor shall execute a disclosure statement specifying that it has no
financial interest in the outcome of the action. If an environmental review
document is prepared by a contractor, the sponsoring agency and other
participating agencies shall assist in the preparation of the document and
shall independently assess the document prior to its general
circulation.
