AI Summary
This bill, the NEPA Accountability and Enforcement Act, amends the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to impose time limits on the completion of certain actions required under the Act. Specifically, it sets a 2-year timeline for federal agencies to complete the NEPA process, which includes issuing a finding of no significant impact or publishing a notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement within 1 year, and completing the environmental impact statement within 2 years of the notice of intent. The bill also requires federal agencies to issue or deny any necessary permits or authorizations within 180 days after publication of the notice of intent. If agencies fail to meet these timelines, they will face financial penalties. The goal of the bill is to increase accountability and efficiency in the NEPA review process.
