Streamlining Coastal Zone Projects: Faster Federal Approvals

New rules speed up federal projects in coastal areas, including critical infrastructure and national security activities. This means certain projects can proceed more quickly, even if a state initially objects, potentially impacting local environments and economies.
Key points
States are presumed to agree to federal coastal projects unless the Secretary nullifies within 30 days.
Projects related to national security, critical infrastructure, disaster recovery, and those with significant economic impact (especially in low-income/high-unemployment areas) will be prioritized.
State objections will not delay or prevent these specific activities from proceeding.
