HR 4041 United States House · 119th Congress

To exempt certain forest management activities in Yosemite National Park from requirements of section 102 of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, and for other purposes.

This bill exempts specific forest management activities in Yosemite National Park from standard environmental review requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). It directly affects park managers by allowing fuels removal (like brush clearing) and reforestation planning/execution without needing an environmental assessment or impact statement. The key mechanism is a "categorical exclusion," meaning these activities are automatically exempted from NEPA's review process. This change streamlines park operations for fire prevention and forest restoration work.
