Voters should care about this bill because it changes the level of environmental scrutiny that federal government projects and new regulations receive. If this bill becomes law, federal agencies would have fewer mandatory environmental checks from the EPA when planning construction projects, taking significant actions, or creating new rules. This could potentially speed up project approvals and regulatory processes, as one formal review step is removed.

However, if the bill passes, it also means there would be less formal input from the EPA on the environmental soundness of these federal activities and regulations. If it doesn't pass, the EPA would continue its current role of reviewing and commenting on a broader range of federal actions and proposed regulations under Section 309 of the Clean Air Act, aiming to ensure environmental considerations are adequately addressed across the government.
