Significant Changes Proposed to NEPA Regulations
The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking regarding potential changes to the CEQ regulations under the National Environmental Policy Act. The proposed revisions to the CEQ regulations could potentially have far-reaching effects because NEPA requirements are largely defined in the regulations themselves, which have remained essentially unchanged for nearly 40 years. The current deadline to submit comments is July 20, 2018, but it is likely that CEQ will receive and grant requests to extend the comment period. Our Update discussing the potential changes to the regulations, by Bill Malley and Laura Zagar is available here.
