No(s). 75-1253 (4th Cir. Jun 25, 1975)

Affirming the district court's dismissal for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, the court holds that NEPA does not apply to a project in which the only federal participation is the distribution of revenue sharing funds to aid local communities in financing the project. For the district court memorandum opinion, see 5 ELR 20338.
