The federal courts regularly hand down new decisions that influence day-to-day NEPA practice. Additionally, CEQ and the USEPA occasionally develop guidance designed to improve NEPA compliance. Although rare, Congress sometimes amends NEPA as it did recently for transportation projects. This session will provide participants with a comprehensive update of the latest developments in NEPA case law, including decisions focusing on alternatives, cumulative impacts, and climate change. The session will also provide an update on the latest NEPA-related legislation, as well as initiatives from CEQ (which will be presented by Horst Greczmiel, CEQ Associate Director for NEPA Oversight), USEPA, and other federal agencies. 10:45 am - 12:15 pm Annual CEQA Update - CM | 1.5 | AICP LAW 1.5, Salon D The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is constantly evolving. With new judicial interpretations handed down each year, California's Legislature adopting new statutes each year, and new amendments to the State CEQA Guidelines, it's important for every CEQA practitioner to keep up with the latest changes. This session gives you the opportunity to hear a panel of CEQA experts discuss what's new with California's most important environmental law. Topics will include: 2012 CEQA legislation, the key court cases of the past year, the revisions to the State CEQA Guidelines encouraging infill development, and practical advice on how to comply with CEQA in light of these developments. 12:00 pm - 1:45 pm Exhibitor Tear-Down, Platinum Foyer 12:30 pm - 5:30 pm NAEP Board Meeting, Atrium 2, 3 12:30 pm - 5:30 pm AEP Board of Directors Meeting, Atrium 1 AIR QUALITY & CLIMATE CHANGE TRANSPORTATION & NOISE CEQA VISUAL RESOURCES CULTURAL RESOURCES WETLANDS ENERGY WILDLIFE & HABITAT LAND USE, WATER & SUSTAINABILITY NEPA MOBILE WORKSHOPS PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT LEADERSHIP MEETINGS For more conference information visit http://www.n-aep2013.org/ 3
