To amend titles 46 and 49, United States Code, to streamline the environmental review process for major projects, and for other purposes.

This bill applies the expedited environmental review processes for major infrastructure projects under FAST-41 to federal actions involving certain port, aviation, and pipeline projects. Specifically, this bill requires, to the greatest extent feasible, the Department of Transportation (DOT) to conduct efficient environmental reviews for port infrastructure projects, pipeline projects, and airport or aviation projects that require DOT's approval under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA).

In addition, DOT must maintain and publish a database concerning such projects that are categorically excluded from NEPA requirements.

Bill 118 hr 3316, also known as the Streamlining Environmental Review for Major Projects Act, aims to make the environmental review process for major projects more efficient by amending titles 46 and 49 of the United States Code. The bill seeks to reduce the time and resources required for environmental reviews while still ensuring that projects are conducted in an environmentally responsible manner.

The main goal of the bill is to streamline the process for obtaining environmental permits and approvals for major projects, such as infrastructure developments and transportation projects. By doing so, the bill aims to expedite the completion of these projects, which can often be delayed by lengthy environmental review processes.

In addition to streamlining the environmental review process, the bill also includes provisions to ensure that projects are still subject to thorough environmental assessments and that any potential environmental impacts are properly addressed. This includes requirements for public input and consultation with relevant stakeholders. Overall, the Streamlining Environmental Review for Major Projects Act seeks to strike a balance between expediting the approval process for major projects and ensuring that environmental concerns are adequately addressed. The bill is currently under consideration in Congress and has garnered support from both Democrats and Republicans.
