The Federal Administrative Court granted the defendant's and intervenors' appeals and permitted an appeal on points of law, finding that the appellant prevailed in the interlocutory stage by establishing the general significance of the legal issue for admission under § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO. The case concerns a dispute regarding the consideration of species protection interests in the site-specific preliminary review (Scoping Procedure) under the Environmental Impact Assessment Act (UVPG). The decisive legal basis involves the interpretation of the UVPG as amended by the Modernization Act of July 20, 2017, specifically addressing whether and to what extent species protection concerns must be evaluated during the initial site-specific screening phase of environmental impact assessment proceedings.

[GRUENDE]

Die zulässigen Beschwerden des Beklagten und der Beigeladenen sind begründet. Die Revision ist wegen grundsätzlicher Bedeutung der Rechtssache zuzulassen (§ 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO). Das Revisionsverfahren kann voraussichtlich zur Klärung der sich auch nach der durch das Inkrafttreten des Gesetzes zur Modernisierung des Rechts der Umweltverträglichkeitsprüfung vom 20. Juli 2017 (BGBl. I S. 2808) geänderten Rechtslage stellenden Frage beitragen, ob und gegebenenfalls inwieweit Belange des Artenschutzes bei der standortbezogenen Vorprüfung nach dem Umweltverträglichkeitsprüfungsgesetz zu berücksichtigen sind.

Die Festsetzung des Streitwerts beruht für das Beschwerdeverfahren auf § 47 Abs. 1 Satz 1 und Abs. 3, § 52 Abs. 1 GKG, für das Revisionsverfahren auf § 47 Abs. 1 Satz 1, § 52 Abs. 1, § 63 Abs. 1 GKG.
