Streamlining Infrastructure: One Federal Decision for Major Project Environmental Reviews

This Act aims to significantly speed up the construction of major infrastructure projects, such as roads and bridges, by streamlining federal environmental review procedures. It establishes the "One Federal Decision" principle, requiring all federal agencies to rely on a single environmental document and finalize authorization decisions within 90 days. Citizens can expect faster project delivery, potentially improving transportation, but this comes with a trade-off of reduced time for environmental impact analysis.
Key points
Establishes a maximum goal of 2 years for completing the entire environmental review process for major infrastructure projects.
All federal construction authorizations and permits must be issued within 90 days after the main environmental review is finalized.
Federal agencies that fail to meet established deadlines must publicly report the reasons for the delays, increasing accountability.
Facilitates the adoption of simplified procedures (categorical exclusions) by various federal agencies to accelerate smaller projects.
