The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is rescinding FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures in light of Executive Order 14154, Unleashing American Energy. The FAA is issuing new streamlined National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) procedures, FAA NEPA Order 1050.1G, to align with amendments to the NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., and to reflect the February 25, 2025 Interim Final Rule issued by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) rescinding its regulations implementing NEPA. The new procedures maintain environmental amenities and protection and reduce regulatory delays that may impede aviation safety improvements and infrastructure development as well as integration of new entrant technologies.

This Order does not apply to or alter any decisions made or final environmental documents issued prior to the effective date of this Order.
