A BILL To amend the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 to provide for project delivery programs, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the NEPA State Assignment Expansion Act, amends the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to establish project delivery programs at federal agencies. The bill allows states to request that federal agencies assign their NEPA responsibilities to the state for certain projects, subject to specific requirements and oversight. The state would then be solely responsible and liable for carrying out the assigned NEPA responsibilities, and federal agencies would have the authority to terminate a state's participation if the state is not meeting requirements. The bill also includes provisions for federal agencies to provide capacity building support to states participating in these programs.
