Summary

Amends the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 to: (1) include extraterritorial actions within the category of Federal actions which affect the quality of the human environment and require the submission of environmental impact statements; and (2) modify provisions regarding the content of such statements. Requires the President to report annually to the Congress on a strategy for achieving certain environmental policy goals under such Act. Directs the Council on Environmental Quality to promulgate regulations implementing such Act for all Federal agencies, including independent regulatory commissions. Requires the Council to establish guidelines for Federal agencies to review and report to the Council on a statistically significant random sample of environmental impact statements prepared by such agencies in which measures were specified for the mitigation of the adverse impact on the environment, including fish and wildlife populations and habitat, that was predicted to result from the action. Requires each review to assess the implementation of mitigation measures and the accuracy and effectiveness of projected adverse impacts and their mitigation. Directs the Council to include a summary of the results of such reviews in its annual report to the Congress. Requires the Council, no later than one year after enactment of this Act, to issue regulations to require Federal agencies, in their environmental impact statements, to ensure full consideration of the impacts of their actions on the oceans, atmosphere, and geographic areas outside of U.S. jurisdiction. Amends the Environmental Quality Improvement Act of 1970 to authorize appropriations for FY 1989 through 1993 for the operations of the Office of Environmental Quality and the Council on Environmental Quality.
