Type I Action
Type I actions are actions identified in SEQRA regulations that are more likely to have significant adverse environmental impacts and therefore require coordinated review among involved agencies when designated Type I. The regulations include categories such as adoption of land use plans and certain zoning changes meeting specified thresholds.

In practice
Type I status often expands procedural requirements (coordination, ENB publication) and should be treated as a schedule driver in entitlement models.
