Title: Environmental Analysis of Army Actions 
Abstract:

The U.S. Army is rescinding its National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations at 32 CFR Part 651. The Army is taking this action because the Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ) NEPA regulations, which the Army’s regulations were intended to supplement, no longer provide a valid foundation for the Army’s regulations.  The authority under which the CEQ's regulations were promulgated, Executive Order 11991, has been repealed by Executive Order 14154 (90 Fed. Reg. 8353, Jan. 29, 2025).  As a result, the CEQ NEPA regulations were repealed effective April 11, 2025 (90 Fed. Reg. 10610, Feb. 25, 2025).
