This bill, titled the "Streamlining NEPA for Coal Act" , mandates the Secretary of the Interior to undertake a specific task related to environmental review processes. The primary objective is to identify both existing and potential categorical exclusions under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). These identified exclusions must be those that, if relied upon or adopted by other federal agencies, could significantly further the production and export of coal . The Secretary is required to submit this identification to the Committee on Natural Resources of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate within 30 days of the Act's enactment.
