Interior Department Unveils Major Reforms to Speed Up Environmental Reviews and Boost U.S. Development

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of the Interior has announced sweeping reforms to streamline federal environmental reviews, aiming to eliminate regulatory delays that have long hindered energy and infrastructure projects nationwide.

Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, in coordination with President Donald J. Trump, detailed the changes last week, describing them as a critical step in modernizing the permitting process and unleashing American economic growth.

The revised procedures under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) are issued pursuant to President Trump’s Unleashing American Energy Executive Order and the 2023 BUILDER Act amendments. The reforms target what officials describe as decades of misuse of environmental regulations to obstruct domestic energy production and infrastructure expansion.

“These reforms issued by the Department of the Interior will help unleash America’s full potential as a global leader in innovation, growth and development,” Burgum stated.

By reducing compliance burdens and accelerating project approvals, the administration seeks to support affordable energy production and spur investment in critical infrastructure, reinforcing the broader strategy to strengthen U.S. economic competitiveness.

The policy shift underscores the administration’s commitment to prioritizing domestic development while maintaining environmental stewardship, signaling a significant recalibration of federal review standards that could reshape future large-scale projects across the country.
