NEPA Process As a NEPA consultant, BSA provides expert guidance through the NEPA process beginning with environmental considerations during the conceptual design and planning phase, preparation of the environmental analysis and report, interagency coordination, public notification and involvement, and ending with the public record of the findings and decision. Biosafety Level Laboratories BSA offers highly specialized and successful experience in providing NEPA and NEPA-support documents related to the design, construction, and/or operation of biomedical and biodefense laboratory facilities, including biosafety level (BSL) laboratories. BSA has successfully completed 23 publicly reviewed NEPA documents for the construction and/or operation of BSL-3, ABSL-3, and BSL-4 facilities and vivaria for biomedical and biodefense research, on schedule, on or under budget, and without major change to the Government’s Proposed Action. Public Affairs Plans In addition, BSA has successfully designed and implemented Public Affairs Plans in compliance with the NEPA EIS process.
