Under this environmentalassessment process, the type, timing and main issues of environmentalanalysis to be performedby the borrower are to be confirmedat the time that a givenlending operation is initiatedinto the Bank's prospective lending program and thereafter reported and updated on a quarterly basis in the MonthlyOperational Summary. In October 1991 the Bank revisedits policiesand proceduresso that projects are now assignedone of the followingcategories based upon the nature, magnitude,and sensitivityof environmentalissues: CategoryA - EnvironmentalAssessment is normallyrequired as the project may have adverseand significantenvironmental impacts. CategoryB - More limited environmentalanalysis is appropriate, as the project may have specificenvironmental impacts. CategoryC - Environmentalanalysis is normallyunnecessary. "U" (unclassified)is beingintroduced to indicatestructural and sectoraladjustment loans, whichdo not fall within one of the above three categories for purposes of the directive governingenvironmental assessment. The 1991 revisionalso introducedthe use o'f a standard environmentaldata sheet for all projects to identifythe main issuesand schedulefor any requiredenvironmental analysis. Project descriptionsin every issue of the MonthlyOperational Summary include the environmental category A, B, or C, except in the case of structural and sectoral adjustmentloans which are designated "U". On a quarterly basis (in the January, April, July and October issues) the Monthly Operational Summarycontains an environmentalannex which includesthe environmentaldata sheets for CategoryA projects, data sheet headers for CategoryB projects, and a listingof projects in CategoriesC and T ("to be determiined"). 1_ 1 1~- -vi - BUSINESSOPPORTUNITIES Borrowing countries through their implementingagencies have full responsibility for the design and implementation of World Bank-financed projects, including the hiring of consultants and procurement of goods and works. Many contracts for consulting services, as well as some for goods and works, are procured prior to loan/credit approval (advance contracting). Contracts for consulting services, unlike those for goods and works, are not usually advertised. Therefore, consultants, in particular, should contact the responsible implementing agency early in the project preparation period to express their possible interest in providing the services described in the MOS. The information in the MOS is intended to be adequate to enable consultants to assess their possible interest. Further information, if needed, should be requested of the implementing agency. The likelihood of a timely response is enhanced if the queries are brief and to the point. Firms should contact the World Bank (preferably by fax) only if they are unable to obtain a response from the implementingagency. General information about business opportunities under Bank loans/credits may be obtained from the World Bank Business Affairs Adviser at fax number (202) 334-0003. ADDITIONAL NOTES ABOUT THE MOS 1. Addresses of Implementing Agencies of new projects are given in Section VII of the Summary. 2. The amount is in millions of US dollars and is approximate and tentative.
