Abstract
This interim final rule revises the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) environmental review regulations by removing HUD's requirement that Environmental Assessments for projects over 200 dwelling units or beds shall be sent to the Field Environmental Clearance Officer (FECO) or Program Environmental Clearance Officer (PECO) for review and comment. This revision aligns with recent executive actions directing efficiency for environmental permitting and streamlines processing times for these projects while meeting all other regulatory and statutory requirements for environmental review. This interim final rule also requests public comment on this regulatory change.
