Bill overview
This bill would exempt certain federal actions related to the construction of infill housing from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Specifically, it would exclude these actions from being considered ‘major federal actions’ requiring detailed environmental reviews. The bill defines ‘infill housing’ as residential development on previously developed urban sites and includes provisions for assessing wildfire, flood, and coastal risk. It also updates the timeline for natural hazard risk assessments under the Stafford Disaster Relief Act.
