Lunch will be provided.
Registration will begin at 11:45 am. The
program will begin at 12:15 pm.
On January 1, the National
Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) turned 50. Coinciding with that anniversary,
the Council on Environmental Quality (“CEQ”) proposed the first
comprehensive amendments to its NEPA regulations since CEQ enacted the regulations
in 1978. The press reports regarding the proposed amendments focused on
the amendments’ potential effects on climate change analysis, the reduction in
the number of projects requiring environmental review, and the ceding of
authority to prepare environmental-review documents to project proposers. This CLE
will go beyond the headlines and consider the practical effect of the amendment,
explain the reasoning for the changes, and assess their likelihood of withstanding
judicial scrutiny if adopted.
