The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) issued a correction to an earlier rule published on February 25, 2025. This correction updates the words used in the rule regarding the removal of CEQ's regulations under the National Environmental Policy Act from the Code of Federal Regulations. The change clarifies the authority under which the amendments are made, referencing specific U.S. Code sections and an executive order. These updates become effective on April 11, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Council on Environmental Quality fixed some wording in their previous rules about taking away certain environment-related rules from the big rule book. They just wanted to make sure everyone was clear on the rules and who decided they could do this.
