Summary
The Standardizing Permitting and Expediting Economic Development (SPEED) Act proposes significant changes to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to accelerate the approval of infrastructure and energy projects. The bill aims to reduce bureaucratic delays by establishing strict timelines for environmental reviews and clarifying which federal actions require extensive oversight. It proposes to limit the scope of environmental impact studies to only those effects directly caused by a project, effectively codifying recent Supreme Court guidance on the matter.
