HUD Seeks Feedback from Tribal Leaders on Burdensome Environmental Regulations
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner instructed the Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) to request comments and feedback from Tribal leaders regarding burdensome environmental regulations and how HUD can reduce challenges associated with the environmental review process.
“HUD is working quickly to eliminate all burdensome regulations that cause inefficiencies and delays across the Department. We are committed to a streamlined government and that begins with identifying where the waste, duplication, and delays occur. I look forward to the feedback and comments from our Tribal leaders who know their communities’ challenges better than anyone in Washington,” said Secretary Turner.
Consistent with President Trump’s Executive Order (EO) 14154, Unleashing American Energy, and the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ)’s followed guidance, HUD intends to revise its regulations related to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other environmental requirements following the comment and feedback period.
