Benchmark: NEPA Compliance After CEQ Regulation Removal: Agency Obligations and Strategies

Should you take this course? Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Compliance and Implementation of the Final Rule – Removal of NEPA Implementing Regulations.

This course explains what changes when CEQ’s NEPA regulations are removed and what that means for your day-to-day work: shifting from one government-wide rule to agency-specific procedures, how to stay compliant, and how to manage risk during the transition.

By taking this benchmark, you will quickly gauge whether you need:

  • Clarity on why the rule was issued and what problem it solves
  • Practical steps to keep reviews moving without uniform CEQ regulations
  • Strategies to balance speed, defensibility, and meaningful public engagement
  • Guidance on interagency coordination with States, Tribes, and stakeholders
  • Risk management tactics to reduce litigation and project delays

If these questions surface uncertainty, the full course will give you the playbook to update procedures, coordinate with CEQ, and communicate changes with confidence.

NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all Benchmarks are free of charge!
