On April 20, 2022, The White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) published its final rule to amend three provisions of its National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations. The amendments largely are the same as the changes proposed this past fall, and are intended to restore provisions that were in effect for decades before they were modified in 2020 by the Trump administration.
Pierce Atwood attorneys Lisa Gilbreath, Matt Manahan, Randy Rich, and Georgia Bolduc have been tracking and reporting on changes to the NEPA regulations since early 2020 and have just published an alert on the final rule.
