Streamlining NEPA for Coal Act

Legislation AI Summary:

This bill, the "Streamlining NEPA for Coal Act," directs the Secretary of the Interior to identify—within 30 days of enactment—any existing and potential categorical exclusions under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) that, if relied upon or adopted more broadly by federal agencies (per section 109/42 U.S.C. 4336c), could facilitate increased production and export of coal. The primary requirement is a rapid reporting obligation to the House Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources; the bill does not itself create new exclusions or amend NEPA substantive standards, but seeks identification of exclusions that could be used to streamline federal environmental review related to coal.
