    The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) plans to adopt categorical exclusions (CEs) from the U.S. Department of Agriculture—Farm Service Agency (USDA-FSA) to streamline environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). These adopted CEs cover various agricultural activities, which HUD intends to use for projects like fence repairs or farm storage facility construction. HUD consulted with USDA-FSA to ensure these CEs are appropriate and will not cause significant environmental harm, barring extraordinary circumstances. The adoption will be effective after regulatory amendments or waivers are issued.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making a plan to borrow some rules from another group to make checking how things like building farm storage or fixing fences might affect nature quicker and easier. They're talking with experts to make sure everything stays safe for the environment.

    The U.S. Department of the Interior has announced the adoption of a National Park Service (NPS) categorical exclusion for managing invasive species, which will be used by seven other department bureaus. This decision aims to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of controlling invasive species on federal lands, following proper environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The adopted exclusion, allowing actions such as physical control and use of biological control organisms, means that these bureaus can manage invasive species without requiring a full environmental assessment, unless extraordinary circumstances arise. This step seeks to protect native species and preserve ecosystems across lands managed by these departments.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is letting more of its groups use a quick permission to fight bad plants and animals, called invasive species, that shouldn't be where they are. This helps keep forests and parks healthy without taking too long, unless something really unusual happens.
