President Trump has proposed changes to a bedrock environmental permitting law that touches everything from highways to pipelines.
And expected lawsuits from environmental groups and Democratic state attorneys general could keep the rule tied up in court until after the election.
"The Administration’s modernization of NEPA removes bureaucratic barriers that were stifling construction of key infrastructure projects needed for U.S. producers to deliver energy in a safe and environmentally protective way,” American Exploration and Production Council CEO Anne Bradbury said in a statement.
For projects that require approvals from multiple agencies, the new proposal would assign one lead agency to oversee NEPA reviews, rather than having each agency conduct its own, as happens now.
