The "Expediting Forest Restoration and Recovery Act of 2025" aims to accelerate hazardous fuel and insect and disease risk reduction projects on National Forest System lands by amending the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003. It requires the Secretary of Agriculture to apply categorical exclusions for environmental analyses on projects within designated insect and disease treatment areas that are suitable for timber production or where timber harvest is not prohibited. For other projects, environmental assessments or impact statements are still required, but the bill limits the alternatives studied to the proposed action and no-action. The legislation also mandates that the Secretary prioritize reducing risks of insect infestation and wildfire over other planning objectives in these treatment areas, unless constrained by existing resource management plans. It extends the application of categorical exclusions to areas in Fire Regime Group IV , while explicitly excluding National Wilderness Preservation System components and most inventoried roadless areas. Furthermore, the bill amends the Good Neighbor Authority to allow states to use revenue from timber sales, after funding the initial project, for other authorized restoration services under different good neighbor agreements within the state.
