Secretary's Department - V - INFORMATION ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS APPLIED TO BANK AND IDA PROPOSED PROJECTS In October 1989 the Bank established a specific policy and procedures for environmental assessment and related environmental analyses of IBRD and IDA -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 B;ank' s prospective lending program and thereafter reported and updated on a quar.teriy basis in the Monthly Operational Summary. . I 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, ,. i magnitude, and sensitivity of·environmental issu~s: ' 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 unn e·eitsa~. 1'/' , 7 ) .._pr The 1991 revision also introduced the use of a standard env;iron~ental data sheet for all projects to identify the main issues and sche4u'.1e ':for any required environmental analysis. r' /\,. t' / . · /' Project descriptions in every issue of ~he Monthly Operational Summary include th~ environmental category. On a quarterly basis (in January, April, July and October issues) the MontQ],Y,,_c'operational Summary contains an environmental annex which includes th~(environmental data sheets for Category A projects and data sheet headers for _Jpecific Category B projects. r"· r I·'· ( r ( \ r·-· L. l - l - ,er Country, Amount & .ementing Probable Stage of Processing and icy Lender 2 Project • Consulting Services Action on Procurement• I.
