White House completes plan to curb bedrock environmental law
The White House aims to reduce permitting delays by rescinding CEQ rules under NEPA, with many Republicans and Democrats supporting reforms to speed project approvals.
- The Trump administration has finalized a plan to roll back regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act, a law that requires federal agencies to consider a project's possible environmental impacts before approval.
- Katherine Scarlett, who leads the White House Council on Environmental Quality, said the directive will 'slash needless layering of bureaucratic burden and restore common sense to the environmental review and permitting process.'
- A Republican-controlled House bill would place statutory limits on environmental reviews, broaden the scope of actions that do not require review, and set clear deadlines, while limiting who can bring legal challenges and legal remedies that courts can impose.
