A rule finalized Tuesday by the White House will require agencies to assess the climate impact of roads, pipelines and other infrastructure
The new rule will require federal agencies to scrutinize the climate impacts of major infrastructure projects under the National Environmental Policy Act, a 1970 law that required the government to assess the environmental consequences of federal actions, such as approving the construction of oil and gas pipelines.to the law’s implementation, saying the government would exempt many projects from review and speed up the approval process.
Business groups and Republicans are likely to argue that Tuesday’s move is going to raise costs and slow construction, but White House officials insisted that won’t be the case.“Patching these holes in the environmental review process will help projects get built faster, be more resilient, and provide greater benefits — to people who live nearby,” Brenda Mallory, chair of the White House’s Council on Environmental Quality, said in a statement.
Trump said he was cutting “mountains and mountains of bureaucratic red tape,” saving millions of dollars and kick-starting the economy.
