The Trump administration on Thursday proposed scaling back an environmental law to reduce the time it takes to assess the environmental impact of major federal projects. The proposed rules would alter the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which requires federal agencies to both assess public opinion in regards to major projects and assess the environmental impact of these projects.
In his press conference describing the proposed changes to the NEPA, President Donald Trump indicated, “We will not stop until our nation’s gleaming new infrastructure has made America the envy of the world again.
