VA RIN: 2900-AR54 Publication ID: Fall 2024 
Title: Environmental Effects of the Department of Veterans Affairs Actions 
Abstract:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA, or Department) is proposing to amend its regulations for implementing the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Since VA last updated its NEPA regulations in 1989, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) updated the NEPA regulations that apply to all agencies and significant changes have occurred within the Department due to increases in funding to improve the Department's aging facilities and infrastructure. Consequently, VA is seeking to amend its regulations to align with the new CEQ regulations, accurately reflect the current range of activities and organizational structure within VA, and better align its procedures with its decision-making processes.
