Faster Wildfire Risk Reduction on Federal Lands

This act aims to speed up efforts to reduce wildfire risks on federal lands. For 10 years, certain activities to remove flammable materials will be exempt from some environmental requirements, making fire prevention easier. Citizens might experience increased safety in fire-prone areas, but also potential changes in the local environment.
Key points
For 10 years, wildfire prevention activities on federal lands will proceed faster, without needing to meet certain environmental requirements.
Air quality data directly resulting from these activities will not be used to determine air pollution standard violations.
The goal is to reduce the risk of large wildfires by removing flammable materials like trees, grasses, and shrubs.
