Coal projects environmental review exclusions list
If enacted, the Interior Secretary would have 30 days to list environmental review exclusions. The list would focus on items that could help coal production and export.

This would not create new exclusions or change current review rules. Any project changes would depend on other federal agencies later choosing to use these exclusions.
