AI Summary
This bill, the NEPA State Assignment Expansion Act, amends the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to allow federal agencies, including the Department of Transportation, to establish project delivery programs where they can assign their NEPA responsibilities to interested states. The bill outlines the process for states to apply and assume these responsibilities, and specifies the terms and conditions of the written agreements between the federal agency and the state. It also requires regular audits and monitoring of the state's performance, and provides a mechanism for the federal agency to terminate the state's participation if they are not adequately carrying out the responsibilities. Additionally, the bill allows states to exercise this authority on behalf of local governments for locally administered projects.
