Creates common data standards, digital tools, and a shared cloud portal to make Federal environmental reviews and authorizations faster, more transparent, and more consistent. It directs the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality to publish standards and guidance, build and pilot prototype tools with other agencies, require agencies to update their systems to meet the standards, and set deadlines for a unified interagency data system and authorization portal.
Requires agencies to report plans and progress, allows the Council to contract for services if appropriations exist, and expressly prohibits using this law to add new regulatory procedures beyond existing environmental laws (like NEPA). Timelines include rapid publication of standards and guidance, a one-year pilot for shared services, and full system implementation by December 1, 2027.
