The Senate and House of Representatives introduced a pair of Congressional Review Act resolutions that would nullify Phase 2 of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) rule.
“The Biden administration blatantly ignored congressional authority and took NEPA processes to new levels of inefficiency with their Phase 2 rule,” said Kaitlynn Glover, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association executive director of Natural Resources and Public Lands Council executive director. “This bicameral, bipartisan resolution will help prevent further weaponization of the federal rulemaking process and allow ranchers to complete critical conservation projects in a timely manner.”
The White House published the final Phase 2 rule in May, which is part of the administration’s efforts to rollback NEPA reforms from the Trump administration. The final rule is set to go into effect on July 1.
