The article discusses the environmental justice (EJ) issues in federal permitting under the administration of U.S. President Joseph Biden in 2021. It explains the meaning of fair treatment in the EJ definition of the Environmental Protection Agency. It mentions the increased emphasis of agencies on EJ in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other environmental reviews. The need for entities with projects subject to permitting rules to increase their EJ awareness is emphasized.
