Update of Procedures for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act and Assessing the Environmental Effects Abroad of EPA Actions

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is proposing amendments to its procedures for implementing the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). This proposed rule would also include technical amendments to the Agency's procedures to improve clarity, correct errors, and update office names and titles. This proposed rule would amend EPA's NEPA implementing procedures by incorporating proposed revisions to create efficiencies in the implementation of NEPA and to harmonize EPA's NEPA Implementing Procedures with other federal agencies' procedures, where possible. The proposed rule also incorporates the amendments to NEPA enacted through the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (FRA) and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (OBBBA); makes changes consistent with Executive Order (E.O.) 14154, Unleashing American Energy; makes changes based on the Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ) subsequent rescission of its NEPA regulations; and to reflect the Supreme Court's May 29, 2025 decision in Seven County Infrastructure Coalition v. Eagle County, Colorado, 605 U.S. 168(2025) (hereinafter Seven County).

Prohibition on the Use of Reputation Risk

On October 21, 2025, the Board issued its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to codify the elimination of reputation risk from its supervisory framework. This change aligns with Executive Order 14331, "Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans." Effective September 25, 2025, the NCUA ceased examining for reputation risk. This final rule affirms that the agency will not consider reputation risk--whether alone or in combination with other factors--in supervisory determinations or other decisions, nor will it take adverse actions on that basis.
