Procedures for Implementing NEPA; Removal

Document 2025-12353 is a Final Rule published by the Department of Defense in the Federal Register on July 3, 2025, with an effective date of July 3, 2025. This interim final rule rescinds the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for the Army Civil Works program, except for the Categorical Exclusions contained therein, because the Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ) NEPA regulations, which the Corps' regulations were meant to supplement, have been removed from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and because the DoD is promulgating Department-wide NEPA procedures that will guide the Army Civil Works' NEPA process. In addition, this interim final rule requests comments on this action. View the original at https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/07/03/2025-12353/procedures-for-implementing-nepa-removal.
