Bill > HR1812

This bill, the One Federal Decision Act of 2021, aims to streamline the environmental review process for major infrastructure projects. The key provisions include: 1) Defining "major projects" as those requiring multiple federal permits or approvals, excluding "covered projects" under the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. 2) Requiring the lead agency to establish a schedule for completing the environmental review and authorization process for major projects, aiming for an average of 2 years or less. 3) Mandating that all federal authorizations and reviews for a project rely on a single environmental document to the maximum extent practicable, with some exceptions. 4) Requiring that all authorization decisions for major projects be completed within 90 days of the issuance of a record of decision, with procedures for extending the deadline. 5) Establishing a performance accountability system to track the environmental review process for each major project. 6) Directing the Secretary of Transportation to identify and facilitate the adoption of categorical exclusions across various federal agencies to accelerate project delivery.
