AI Summary
This bill, known as the Responding Aggressively to Prevent Insects and Disease Act (RAPID Act), aims to amend the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 to provide clarification on certain categorical exclusion authority relating to insect and disease infestation and wildfire resilience projects. Specifically, it proposes to increase the maximum acreage limit for categorical exclusions from 3,000 acres to 10,000 acres, and expand the eligible fire regimes to include Fire Regime I, II, III, IV, and V, which cover a wider range of forest conditions. These changes are intended to streamline the environmental review process for projects focused on addressing insect and disease infestations and enhancing wildfire resilience.
