    How would expedited six-month appeals timelines affect the Interior Department's ability to thoroughly review complex land management decisions?

  2. 02

    Which types of parties—environmental groups, extractive industries, or states—would benefit most from faster appeals of federal land decisions?

  3. 03

    What happens to pending appeals if the six-month deadline passes without a board decision, and could this pressure the board to rush rulings?
