HR 4621 United States House · 118th Congress

Interactive Federal Review Act

HR 4621, the Interactive Federal Review Act, requires the Transportation Secretary to encourage the use of interactive digital platforms for environmental reviews of highway projects funded by specific federal programs (like INFRA, Mega, and RAISE grants). It mandates the Secretary to publish best practice guidance within 90 days, select at least 10 projects to demonstrate digital tools for community engagement and environmental analysis, and prioritize applications that plan to use such platforms. The bill also requires a report to Congress within 180 days detailing efficiency metrics and examples of digital workflows used in environmental reviews under NEPA. This affects state and local highway project sponsors receiving federal funds, aiming to streamline reviews and improve public access to project information.
