"CEQ Postpones Agency Deadline For Trump NEPA Rules"

"The White House Council on Environmental Quality is postponing compliance with the Trump administration's rules to speed up National Environmental Policy Act reviews.

In a press release issued today, CEQ said federal agencies have an additional two years to comply with procedural requirements mandated by 2020 NEPA regulations.

That means agencies like the departments of the Interior and Energy have until September 2023 to propose revisions, according to a notice that will be published tomorrow in the Federal Register.

Changes to the NEPA rules were a cornerstone of former President Trump's quest to achieve "energy dominance" and undo what his supporters called the administrative state."
