The categorization procedure in use at the World Bank is explained in the World Bank’s Operational Manual under Operational Directive4.01 (original OD 4.00 is reproduced in Volume 1 of World Bank, 1991 and updated to OD 4.01 in World Bank, 1993) The World Bank’scategorization procedure differs from that of the ADB in that the IEE is part of the project screening step, so although Category B projectsrequire an environmental assessment reduced in scale from that of an EIA, an IEE is not mentioned. The categories are defined below.Project Category A: Projects in this category typically require an EIA. The potential significant environmental issues for these projects maylead to significant changes in land use, as well as changes to the social, physical, and biological environment. This category is identical toCategory A of the ADB.Project Category B: This category is for projects that usually require an environmental review but at a level of effort less than that of anEIA study. This category is basically the same as the ADB’s Category B.Project Category C: This category is for projects that typically do not require an environmental assessment. These projects are unlikely tohave adverse environmental impacts. This is the same as the ADB’s Category C
