Experts say the move is expected to draw legal challenges.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What they&#8217;re proposing to do is basically forgo environmental review or public participation or anything meaningful,&#8221; said Michael Burger, executive director of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia University. &#8220;The implications of that are extreme.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The environmental review process has developed over time, he said, and goes back decades. The Endangered Species Act, one of three statues the DOI is targeting, was signed into law by President Richard Nixon in 1973. Section 7 of the Act requires consultation among agencies &#8220;to ensure their activities are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence&#8221; of federally protected species, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fws.gov\/law\/endangered-species-act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according to<\/a> the U.S. Fish &amp; Wildlife Service.<\/p>\n<h2>A win for oil and gas industries<\/h2>\n<p>The announcement on Wednesday was a win for the American Petroleum Institute, the oil and gas industry&#8217;s largest lobbying group, which has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.api.org\/news-policy-and-issues\/news\/2025\/04\/08\/api-welcomes-trump-administration-actions-to-protect-american-energy-from-illega\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">cheered<\/a>\u00a0Mr. Trump&#8217;s energy agenda.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our nation&#8217;s permitting system is broken, and reform is essential to ensuring access to affordable, reliable energy,&#8221; Holly Hopkins, VP of upstream policy at the American Petroleum Institute, said in an email to CBS MoneyWatch.<\/p>\n<p>Former officials from several different federal agencies who served under Trump&#8217;s previous term and the Biden administration have told CBS News on background that looming workforce reductions could throw a wrench in the department&#8217;s plans to speed up the permitting process. Also, breaking with long-standing practices could lead to major slipups, such as oil spills, they added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Department of the Interior employs about 70,000 staff members, according to its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doi.gov\/employees\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">website<\/a>. But cuts could be on the horizon. An internal White House document obtained by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2025\/03\/27\/federal-worker-layoffs-government-agencies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Washington Post<\/a> indicated that as many as 1 in 4 department employees could be let go as a part of a broader series of staff cuts across government agencies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How can you accomplish so much with fewer and fewer people?&#8221; said Burger of Columbia&#8217;s Sabin Center. &#8220;The only result is less and less oversight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Athan Manuel, director of the Lands Protection Program at the Sierra Club, agreed, adding that gutting the federal agency could hinder the Trump administration&#8217;s objectives.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They just don&#8217;t seem to understand that these employees run the gamut from wildlife biologists to firefighters, to people who permit oil and gas drilling or permit mines on federal lands,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If it&#8217;s going to wholesale cut staff, some of the things they care about are going to get caught up in that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Interior did not respond to request for comment on how layoffs might impact its ability to issue permits on a tighter timetable.<\/p>\n<p>According to the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doi.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/2025-04\/alternative-procedures-section-7-consultation-2025-04-23-signed_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">procedural guidelines<\/a> issued by the agency this week, companies seeking a permit are required to confirm in writing that they want their project covered by the expedited process \u2014 meaning that not everyone will necessarily opt in. Those that do could stand to lose big, Manuel said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Companies are very cautious before they sink millions of dollars into a well or to a mining project,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So I think they benefit from going slowly because they don&#8217;t want to be stuck with a stranded asset or literally<strong> <br \/><\/strong>drill a dry hole here.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<div class=\"component__heading-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"component__title\">ClimateWatch: Climate Change News &amp; Features<\/h3>\n<p>                      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/climate-change\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--lg\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n              More<br \/>\n              <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/>\n              <\/svg><br \/>\n            <\/a>\n                  <\/div>\n<p>                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/climate-change\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--sm\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n            More<br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/>\n            <\/svg><br \/>\n          <\/a><br \/>\n                    <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/mary-cunningham\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Mary  Cunningham<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Mary Cunningham is a reporter for CBS MoneyWatch.
