This document contains an Environmental Assessment (EA), Regulatory Impact Review (RIR), and Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) for two actions. The EA and IRFA analyze the impacts of the Federal actions to: 1) establishing the 2004 harvest specifications for groundfish target species in the groundfish fisheries of the Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska fishery managem...

By-laws of many municipalities and local governments require certain level of public participation in their decision-making processes for municipal planning and development activities. One of the common practices in Canada is to hold public meetings, during which the proposed developments are explained and discussed, and public opinions are collected. The problems associated with existing pract...

The European and UK legislation on environmental assessment (EA) J as well as requiring assessment of significant ecological effects, also requires development proponents to recommend mitigation measures for adverse impacts. Drawing on a review of proposed ecological mitigation measures in 194 environmental statements (ES) for UK development proposals, this paper highlights problems with the cu...

One of the primary purposes for preparing an environmental assessment (EA) is to determine whether or not a proposed action will have a significant impact on the human environment and therefore require the preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS). As defined in 40 CFR 1508.13, a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) is a document that briefly presents the reasons why a federal ...

Elder abuse and neglect (EA/N) affects over 1 million older adults each year, and disproportionately affects persons with dementia and older women.

Enterprise architecture, EA, is an established approach for the model-based and holistic management of IT. The scope of EA is however wide and the predominant EA frameworks suggest the creation of broad and detailed models. IT management cannot control all areas spanned by the present frameworks for EA models. In order to ensure well informed decisions, IT management has a series of questions t...

The need for simplifying Environmental Assessment (EA), and potential that simplification holds, has not only been raised by policymakers but also scholars. Despite recent years’ focus increased push EA world-wide – hereunder argued because of the accelerating climate investments green transition fact is a new agenda, studies exploring types effects remain scarce. Although there in EA, several ...

Recently Federici and Scherer [1] proposed an ideal model of an Assistive Technology Assessment (ATA) process that provides reference guidelines for professionals of a multidisciplinary team of assistive technology (AT) service delivery centers to compare, evaluate, and improve their own matching models. The ATA process borrows a user-driven working methodology from the Matching Person and Tech...

enterprise architecture (ea) is a discipline for understanding, engineering, and managing different components of an enterprise and their interrelationships. moreover, because the risk and impact of ea are pervasive across the enterprise, it is critical to perform an architecture assessment before making any decision about choosing a scenario. this paper provides an approach based on fuzzy anal...
