Understanding the Impact of the Trump Administration’s NEPA Reforms

AAF’s Director of Regulatory Policy Dan Bosch and Director of Energy Policy Ewelina Czapla examine how the proposed rule changes address these delays while upholding NEPA’s legal requirements. Even if the administration does finalize changes to NEPA, they are unlikely to proceed unimpeded, they write.
