## Summary

**Streamlined NEPA review for certain HUD housing assistance.** This bill would treat some HUD-administered aid as funds for a “special project” under section 305(c) of the Multifamily Housing Property Disposition Reform Act of 1994 so environmental review, decisions, and actions can be consolidated under the National Environmental Policy Act. - HUD projects and grantees: Enables environmental review activity tied to specified HUD assistance to be conducted in a streamlined or consolidated way under NEPA, which can speed coordinated decision making and project action. - Indian Tribes: Expands tribal participation by changing the statute to allow a "State, Indian Tribe, or unit of general local government" to assume NEPA-related review duties and by adding a definition of "Indian Tribe" that points to the federally recognized tribe definition in the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act. - Scope limit: The designation would not apply when another NEPA procedure is already specified in law.
