Bill > HR6398

This bill, known as the "Reducing and Eliminating Duplicative Environmental Regulations Act" or the "RED Tape Act," amends Section 309 of the Clean Air Act to modify the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) review process for proposed legislation and federal actions. Specifically, the bill removes several existing requirements for EPA review, including commentary on newly authorized federal construction projects, major federal agency actions, and proposed federal regulations. The amendments simplify the language around the EPA Administrator's role in reviewing and commenting on proposed actions, effectively reducing the scope of environmental policy review. By striking multiple clauses that previously mandated comprehensive EPA review, the bill appears to streamline the regulatory process and potentially reduce the EPA's oversight of federal environmental actions.
