SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the estimation of NEPA timelines, including comment periods and agency consultations, to help teams plan and track environmental reviews.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Timeline estimation by NEPA pathway: CE, EA, and EIS timelines with milestones and dependencies.
  • Consultation planning: Anticipate ESA, NHPA, and other formal/informal consultations to keep projects on schedule.
  • What-if scenarios: Generate schedules for single or multiple concurrent pathways and adjust for start dates.

Quick Start

Use this skill to generate a NEPA timeline by running the executor with a fire_id, pathway, and optional consultations. For example: execute({"fire_id": "fire-1","pathway":"EA","start_date":"2026-01-01"})

Frequently Asked Questions about compliance-timeline

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I estimate NEPA timelines for EA and EIS pathways?

You can forecast NEPA timelines by executing the estimation script with a fire ID, pathway, and optional start date. The skill outputs milestones, comment periods, and consultation details for single or multiple concurrent pathways.

What is the best way to plan ESA and NHPA consultations during environmental reviews?

The best way to plan ESA and NHPA consultations is to include them when generating a NEPA timeline. The skill anticipates formal and informal consultations across agencies to keep environmental review projects on schedule.

Can I run what-if scenarios for multiple concurrent NEPA pathways with different start dates?

Yes, you can generate schedules for single or multiple concurrent NEPA pathways and adjust for different start dates. This allows you to compare timeline outcomes and dependencies across different regulatory scenarios.

Does the timeline estimation include a reasoning chain for regulatory scheduling?

Yes, the timeline estimation outputs a reasoning chain suitable for integration with the Python estimation script. This provides transparency in how milestones, comment periods, and consultation dates are calculated.

What inputs do I need to generate a NEPA compliance timeline?

To generate a NEPA compliance timeline, you need a fire ID, a selected pathway (CE, EA, or EIS), and an optional start date. These inputs drive the scheduling logic for milestones and agency consultations.

When should I use a Categorical Exclusion (CE) timeline instead of an EIS schedule?

You should use a CE timeline for actions with minimal environmental impact and an EIS schedule for actions significantly affecting the environment. The skill estimates distinct milestones and dependencies for each NEPA pathway.
