"NEPA (42 USC 4321+) requires environmental impact assessment for major federal actions"
NEPA (42 USC 4321+) requires federal agencies to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for major federal actions significantly affecting the human environment, implemented via 40 CFR 1500-1508.
This is a human-established fact, not a universal axiom. It is true within US as enacted by US Council on Environmental Quality; federal action agencies.

The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 USC 4321 et seq) requires federal agencies to assess the environmental effects of proposed major federal actions prior to decisions. Actions 'significantly affecting the quality of the human environment' trigger preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS); lesser actions may require an Environmental Assessment (EA) or qualify for a Categorical Exclusion. Implementing regulations are at 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508 (CEQ) and agency-specific supplements. Mining projects on federal land nearly always require NEPA analysis as a prerequisite to BLM permit approval.
