I have sent my comment, but hard to think it will matter. The Almightly himself could come down from above and submit a comment and it wouldn't matter.

Good one to share. People who don't share a comment with a gov request for comments, yet ramble here present their true selves.

Thanks

Is this real? A proposed rule to eradicate NEPA??

It's not the "eradication of NEPA". This rule removes regulations issued specifically by CEQ. Agencies still have their own regulations and policies for performing environmental reviews that keep them in compliance with NEPA. The requirement to perform environmental reviews of federal actions in accordance with NEPA is still in place.

Correct. It does nothing to NEPA itself. Since the Supreme Court ruled that CEQ has no authority to create rules, it leaves rule making to the agencies. So this action essentially just removes those parts of the CFR that CEQ wasn’t authorized to make. The agencies are able to, and likely will, adopt those existing rules anyway, at least in the short term for continuity’s sake.
