We call this pluralistic approach to administrative decisionmaking “shared sovereignty.”
In this analysis, we compare implementation of the National Environmental Policy, the National Historic Preservation Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Federal Power Act. All of these statutes incorporate …
