Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had approved a final rule from the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) on “Removal of National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Regulations”. This final rule was sent to OIRA on August 11th, 2025. The interim final rule was published on February 25th, 2025.
According to the Spring 2025 Unified Agenda entry for this rulemaking:
“This interim final rule removes the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) from the Code of Federal Regulations.”
I expect that this final rule will be published in the
Federal Register next week. I do not plan on providing any detailed analysis of
this rule, but I will publish a note in the appropriate Short Takes post when
it is published.
