A 180-day extension of the 60-day comment period on the Trump administration’s notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reforms has been requested by the Council on Environmental Quality.
Given that the proposed rule would impact how “every single agency in the federal government considers the health and environmental impacts federal decisions,” the group said the 60-day comment period and two public meetings scheduled by EPA are “woefully inadequate” for the plan the group says would impact more than 50,000 decisions made each year by the federal government.
They called for additional public meetings to be held in both rural and urban areas versus the two proposed by EPA to be held in Denver, Colorado, and Washington, D.C.
