Public land management plans would be reissued quickly, skipping new environmental reviews.
This bill would require the Interior Department to quickly reissue nine specific public land management plans for specific field offices across several Western states, including Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, and Oregon. These reissued plans would automatically be considered compliant with major environmental and administrative laws, meaning no new environmental studies would be needed. This would affect how these lands are managed for activities like ranching, recreation, and energy development, and would limit further public review.
Today, specific public land management plans are subject to environmental reviews and potential challenges under laws like the National Environmental Policy Act. After this bill, the Interior Department would reissue nine of these plans within 60 days, automatically selecting specific options. These reissued plans would be considered compliant with environmental and administrative laws without any further environmental analysis.
