- 2 - Environmental Assessment Export Industry Technology Support Project (EXITOS: 596-0165) 1.0 SUMMARY This Environmental Assessment (EA) discusses the reasonably foreseeable environmental impacts of the proposed Export Industry Technology Support Project (EXITOS: 596-0165), and of two alternatives to the Project. Pursuant to 22 CFR Part 216, it includes a discussion of the purpose of the EA (Sct. 2.0); a summary comparison of the alternatives (Sct. 3.0); a discussion of the affected environment (Sct. 4.0); and an assessment of environmental consequences of the alternatives (Sct. 5.0). Measures to mitigate any potential adverse environmental impacts which may result from Project implementation are discussed in Sct. 5.7 and summarized in Sct. 3.2. heProposed Project. EXITOS is a four year, activity designed the to "increase sales and/or volumes of Central American exports." EXITOS has two components. The Agricultural Component will continue the types of activities implemented under ROCAP's Non-Traditional Agricultural Export Support Project (PROEXAG), which will terminate in September 1991. PROEXAG provided technical assistance (TA) to assist with all aspects of non-traditional agricultural export (NTAE) in Central America from 1986-1991, including crop production, packaging, transporting, shipping and rece!pt-related activities. EXITOS will also expand the scope of PROEXAG activities to include a new component addressing non-traditional light industrial (UTI) exports, which will employ many of the principles that led to the PROEXAG successes in NTAR promotion. EXITOS will attain its objectives by strengthening private sector organizations promoting trade and investment; stimulating agricultural production and trade; promoting technological improvement; increasing market information systems and networks; and increasing participation in income-generating opportunities by segments of the society previously at the margin of the mainstream economic system. The Alternatives. Three alternatives, including the proposed action (i.e., EXITOS), were evaluated for environmental assessment purposes. These alternatives are: (1) the Project as described in the Project Paper of July , 1991; (2) a Project designed to identify and analyse the environmental impacts associated with a continuation of the non-traditional export trend in Central America; and (3) the No Action Alternative, i.e., no continued NTE support
