Involved Agency
An involved agency is an agency with jurisdiction by law to fund, approve, or directly undertake an action; the lead agency is also an involved agency. This classification matters because involved agencies participate in coordinated review and are bound by the lead agency's determination of significance after due diligence and notice.

In practice
Misidentifying involved agencies is one of the most common procedural vulnerabilities; operators treat the involved-agency list as a controlled diligence artifact.
