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 would create a specific categorical exclusion from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements for two kinds of forest management activities inside Yosemite National Park: (1) planning, approving, and carrying out fuels removal (including brush removal) and (2) planning, approving, and carrying out reforestation. In effect, these activities would not require the usual NEPA process—an Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)—before proceeding. The designation applies only to the listed activities within Yosemite and is intended to streamline park management and wildfire risk reduction efforts. The bill does not alter other environmental or legal requirements outside NEPA, and does not change the need to comply with other federal laws.
