On June 3, 2023, President Biden signed into law the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (FRA)<\/a>. The FRA, under the \u201cBuilder Act\u201d, codified several changes to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) including changes that support and encourage the use of digital tools that create timely and unified Federal reviews; address delays in reviews; and improve public accessibility and transparency.<\/p>\n
