    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 1808
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has decided to remove an outdated regulation from the Code of Federal Regulations, which was related to environmental quality improvements in water resource projects. This rule, originally published in 1980, was found to be redundant and focused on internal agency processes that don't impact the public. Its removal is intended to reduce confusion about current policies, particularly those related to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This move is considered non-significant and not expected to have any financial impact on the public.

    Simple Explanation

    The Army Corps of Engineers had a rule about water and the environment that was really old and didn't need to be followed anymore, so they decided to erase it to make things simpler and clearer.

    Reading Time:about 34 minutes

    The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) has issued an interim rule to remove its regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) from the Code of Federal Regulations. This action follows an executive order that rescinded the previous directive requiring these regulations and raised questions about CEQ's authority to impose binding rules. CEQ invites public comments on this rule by March 27, 2025, and will consider these before finalizing the rule. The interim rule’s removal of regulations is aimed at addressing legal uncertainties and simplifying agency compliance with NEPA.

    Simple Explanation

    The CEQ is changing the rules that help protect the environment because there’s a new order from the President, and they want to hear what people think before making the final decision.
