NASA Sends NEPA Implementation IFR to OMB

Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received an interim final rule from NASA on “Procedures for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act”. This is part of the ongoing federal agency response to CEQ’s implantation of EO 14154 requirements to rescind National Environmental Policy Act regulations and update NEPA guidance.

According to the Spring 2025 Unified Agenda entry for this rulemaking:

“The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is amending its existing regulations related to environmental quality at 14 CFR 1216 as directed by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) per Memorandum from Executive Office of the President for Heads of Federal Departments and Agencies to meet Executive Orders requirements.”

Coverage of this IFR will fall under my limited Space Geek coverage.
