H.R. 731 — Green Tape Elimination Act of 2025

This section exempts hazardous fuel reduction activities (i.e., installation of fuel breaks or firebreaks, prescribed fire, wildland fire use, or mechanical thinning, pruning, cutting, or removal of hazardous fuels such as trees, grasses, shrubs, sagebrush, chaparral, or dead vegetative material) carried out on federal land during the 10-year period beginning on enactment from (1) designation as a major federal action under section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (i.e., no environmental impact statement required); and (2) the Endangered Species Act of 1973, National Historic Preservation Act, Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and Migratory Bird Conservation Act. This section also amends the Clean Air Act to require exclusion of air quality monitoring data directly attributable to such activities from determinations of exceedances or violations of national ambient air quality standards.
