Limiting EPA Review of Federal Projects and New Agency Regulations.

This bill aims to speed up federal processes by removing the requirement for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to mandatorily review and comment on major federal construction projects and new regulations proposed by other government agencies. For citizens, this means potentially faster implementation of federal investments, but also less formal environmental oversight by the EPA on these actions. The goal is to reduce bureaucracy.
Key points
The EPA will no longer be required to review major federal construction projects (e.g., roads, infrastructure) under this section of the Clean Air Act.
The requirement for the EPA to comment on new regulations proposed by other federal departments is eliminated.
The change is intended to accelerate the approval of federal actions, potentially shortening the timeline for public investment projects.
