NEPA Means Better Agency Decisions
Partner Ted Boling authored "NEPA Means Better Agency Decisions" published in the The Environmental Forum regarding the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and its regime for environmental impact assessment and framework for a transparent, evidence-based public process for agency decisions.
Consistent with its stated purposes, NEPA implements national environmental policy, and its regime for environmental impact assessment provides a remarkably stable framework for a transparent, evidence-based public process for agency decisions. An eloquent statute, NEPA has straightforward implementing regulations that were developed by the Council on Environmental Quality as directed by President Carter, updated as directed by President Trump, and amended as part of President Biden's regulatory review to restore (so far) three aspects of the Carter rules.
