In September 2020, the Council on Environmental Quality enacted new regulations that set forth procedures federal agencies are to utilize when implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

On December 10, 2020, Nossaman's Environment and Land Use Group presented "The New NEPA Regulations: A Practical Guide to What You Need to Know" and discussed these new changes.
If you were not able to attend the live session, we invite you to watch the presentation at your convenience. Our panel gave practitioners a nuts and bolts guide to the new rules and discussed:
- The most important changes made to NEPA;
- How the new rules differ from the old;
- How to apply new rules to your project; and
- Possible issues that might arise when applying the new rules and how this might affect project development.
