Increased Transparency and Accountability in Environmental Review Processes
This new law aims to increase transparency in environmental impact assessment processes required before major projects can begin. It will give citizens better insight into how long these assessments take and how much they cost, potentially affecting the speed of project implementation and the use of public funds.
Key points
Federal agencies will be required to annually report to Congress on the time taken to issue environmental decisions for various projects.
A new methodology will be developed to assess the comprehensive costs of environmental review processes, and agencies will have to report these costs.
Citizens will gain access to data on how many projects are awaiting environmental decisions and how much money is being spent on them.
