Neal McAliley Quoted in Inside EPA: “CEQ Releases Detailed Plan to Use Technology to Speed NEPA Reviews”

Neal McAliley was quoted in an Inside EPA article titled “CEQ Releases Detailed Plan to Use Technology to Speed NEPA Reviews.” The article discusses the White House’s plan to use technology to speed permitting under the National Environmental Policy Act.

McAliley stated, “Since the regulatory requirements are complex, and projects themselves can be technically complex, it is hard for individual permit reviewers to quickly determine and focus on the issues that matter. Better use of software and technology, and standardization of systems to review permit applications, has the potential to greatly speed up the mechanics of environmental reviews, which could accelerate the time at which agencies act on permit applications.”
