NEW PROJECTS ADDED IN THIS ISSUE 137 - 141 VIII. PROJECTS DROPPED FROM LENDING PROGRAM 142 - 145 AND PROJECTS SIGNED Secretary's Department INFORMATION ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS APPLIED TO BANK AND IDA PROPOSED PROJECTS In September, 1989, the Bank established specific policies and procedures for environmental assessment and related environmental analyses of IBRD and IDA investment lending operations. Under this environmental assessment process, the type, timing and main issues of environmental analysis to be performed by the borrower are to be confirmed at the time that a given lending operation is initiated into the Bank's prospective lending program and thereafter reported and updated in the Monthly Operational Summary. In October, 1991, the Bank revised its policies and procedures so that projects are now assigned one of the following categories based upon the nature, magnitude, and sensitivity of environmental issues: Category A - Environmental Assessment is normally required as the project may have adverse and significant environmental impacts. Category B - More limited environmental analysis is appropriate, as the project may have specific environmental impacts. Category C - Environmental analysis is normally unnecessary. (The former Category D, used for identifying environmental projects, is now being phased out.) Accordingly, the Monthly Operational Summary now includes in Annex I more detailed information about the status of the environmental assessment of Category A and B projects included in the main text. Annex I is included in the Monthly Operational Summary on a quarterly basis (i.e. issues dated January, April, July and October). 」 Member Country, Amount & Implementing Probable Stage of Processing and Agency Lender Project 3 Consulting Services Action on ProcureMent 4 1.
