Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pilot 

Project Proposals 

AGENCY: Council On Environmental 

Quality. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability, Call for 

Innovative National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) Pilot Project 

Proposals. 

SUMMARY: The Chair of the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) invites the 

public and federal agencies to nominate 

innovative pilot projects that 

accomplish the NEPA goals of 

transparency and informed 

decisionmaking in a more timely and 

effective manner. Nominations will be 

accepted via online submission until 

June 15, 2011. CEQ will track and 

publicize the progress of selected pilot 

projects as part of its NEPA Pilot 

Program, to identify and promote more 

efficient ways to do effective 

environmental reviews that can be 

replicated across the Federal 

Government. The NEPA Pilot Project 

Program is part of CEQ’s broad effort to 

modernize and reinvigorate federal 

agency implementation of NEPA 

through innovation, public engagement, 

and transparency. The NEPA Pilot 

Program will also facilitate a review 

under section 6 of Executive Order 

13563, ‘‘Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review,’’ of provisions of 

CEQ’s NEPA Regulations that may be 

outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or 

excessively burdensome. 76 FR 3821, 

Jan. 21, 2011; 40 CFR 1500–1508. 

DATES: The Call for Innovative National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pilot 

Project Proposals is available as of 

March 17, 2011. Nominations may be 

submitted online until June 15, 2011, 

and will not be considered after that 

date. 

ADDRESSES: The Call for Innovative 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) Pilot Project Proposals and 

online nomination submission form is 

available at http://whitehouse.gov/

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Katie Scharf, Deputy General Counsel, 

Council on Environmental Quality, 202– 

456–2464. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

17, 2011, the Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) issued a Call for 

Innovative National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) Pilot Project 

Proposals, inviting the public and 

federal agencies, to nominate innovative 

pilot projects that accomplish the NEPA 

goals of transparency and informed 

decisionmaking in a more timely and 

effective manner. Nominations may be 

submitted online at http:// 

whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ 

ceq/initiatives/nepa/nepa-pilot-project. 

Nominations will be accepted until June 

15, 2011, and will be publicly posted on 

the CEQ Web site, http:// 

www.whitehouse.gov/ceq. CEQ will not 

consider nominations submitted after 

June 15, 2011. 

In consultation with a panel of agency 

NEPA experts, CEQ will select up to five 

(5) nominated pilot projects for further 

study and trial implementation, based 

on their potential to: (1) Reduce the 

costs and/or time needed to complete 

the NEPA process; (2) ensure 

environmental protection; (3) improve 

the quality and transparency of Federal 

agency decision-making; and (4) yield 

replicable best practices or procedural 

innovations that can be replicated by 

other agencies or applied to other 

Federal actions or programs so as to 

improve NEPA implementation beyond 

a specific project. CEQ will coordinate 

with relevant agencies to track project 

implementation for the purpose of 

evaluating and publicizing the 

efficiencies realized. These outcomes 

will be published on the CEQ Web site 

and on the NEPA Web site, nepa.gov. 

Where appropriate, CEQ will advocate 

that agencies incorporate these best 

practices into new or revised NEPA 

procedures. Accordingly, the NEPA 

Pilot Program will facilitate a review 

under section 6 of Executive Order 

13563, ‘‘Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review,’’ of provisions of 

CEQ’s NEPA Regulations that may be 

outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or 

excessively burdensome. 76 FR 3821, 

Jan. 21, 2011; 40 CFR 1500–1508.
