2125-AG30 202510 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2125 Federal Highway Administration FHWA 2100 Department of Transportation DOT Revisions to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act

FHWA, FRA, and FTA (collectively the Agencies) are seeking to modify the regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) found at 23 CFR 771 that apply to all three modes to reform and streamline the environmental review process for surface transportation projects. The substantive changes would expand opportunities for efficient environmental reviews, designate certain actions as being non major Federal actions that are not subject to NEPA, incorporate permitting reform goals, and modernize certain procedures to align with the current realities of surface transportation projects. These updates will better enable the Agencies to conduct coordinated, consistent, and efficient environmental reviews, thus reducing unnecessary burdens and delays.
