Streamlining NEPA for Coal Act

This bill would require the Secretary of the Interior to report to two congressional committees within 30 days after it becomes law.

A categorical exclusion lets certain types of federal actions skip a detailed environmental review. The report would focus on exclusions that other federal agencies could adopt or rely on more to further coal production and export.
