When an agency prepares a programmatic environmental document for which judicial review was available, the agency may rely on the analysis included in the programmatic environmental document in a subsequent environmental document for related actions as follows: (1) Within 5 years and without additional review of the analysis in the programmatic environmental document , unless there are substantial new circumstances or information about the significance of adverse effects that bear on the analysis. (2) After 5 years, so long as the agency reevaluates the analysis in the programmatic environmental document and any underlying assumption to ensure reliance on the analysis remains valid. ( Pub.
