Lummis Applauds Trump Administration’s Effort to Streamline Environmental Review Process

February 27, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senate Western Caucus Chair Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) today applauded the Trump administration’s move to revise and streamline outdated National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) procedures. This Interim Final Rule rescinds the Council on Environmental Quality’s regulations for NEPA compliance.
“For too long, western communities have waited for critical energy and infrastructure projects while paperwork piled up in Washington,”said Lummis.“I appreciate the Trump administration’s effort to initiate permitting reform. His balanced approach will ensure that environmental reviews focus on meaningful analysis rather than on endless and costly procedural hurdles.”
