SPEED Act

Sponsored By: Representative Hageman, Harriet M. [R-WY-At Large]

In Committee

Summary

The SPEED Act would raise the dollar cutoffs that let small federal-aid projects use a streamlined environmental review under MAP-21, expanding which projects can qualify for a categorical exclusion. It doubles one threshold from $6 million to $12 million and another from $35 million to $70 million so more small projects may skip lengthy environmental reviews and paperwork.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Faster reviews for small infrastructure projects

If enacted, this would raise dollar limits that let some federally assisted projects skip extra environmental reviews. One limit would go from $6,000,000 to $12,000,000. The other would go from $35,000,000 to $70,000,000. This could speed approvals and cut paperwork for project sponsors and contractors, but some communities could see less detailed study. The change would take effect upon enactment.
