A quick definition of major federal action:

Major Federal Action: A big project or decision made by the government that could have a big impact on the environment. This could include building a dam or highway through wetlands, or making new rules for a government agency. When the government wants to do something big like this, they have to write a report called an environmental-impact statement to show how it might affect the environment. They also have to let people give their opinions on the project.

A more thorough explanation:

Major federal action refers to an activity or project that is undertaken by a federal agency or requires approval from a federal agency. This activity or project may have a significant impact on the environment, such as building a dam or constructing a highway through wetlands.

For example, if a federal agency plans to construct an aqueduct or dam, it is considered a major federal action. Similarly, if a federal agency adopts certain regulations that may significantly affect the environment, it is also considered a major federal action.

Under the National Environmental Policy Act, federal agencies are required to prepare and file an environmental impact statement (EIS) if they plan to take a major federal action that may significantly affect the environment. The EIS includes information about the potential environmental impacts of the proposed action and any public comments. This helps ensure that federal agencies consider the environmental consequences of their actions before making decisions.

Overall, major federal actions are important to consider because they can have significant impacts on the environment and surrounding communities. By requiring federal agencies to prepare an EIS, the government can ensure that these impacts are carefully considered and minimized as much as possible.

i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
