Secretary Scott Turner instructed the Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) to request comments and feedback from Tribal leaders regarding environmental regulations and how HUD can reduce challenges associated with the environmental review process.

Why It Matters: Following the feedback period, HUD intends to revise its regulations related to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other environmental requirements for Tribal Programs. Further changes to additional HUD programs could soon follow per President Trump’s Executive Order (EO) 14154, Unleashing American Energy.
