The Secretary shall, to the maximum extent practicable, complete all analyses, processes, and procedures required by section 18 of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act ( 43 U.S.C. 1344 ) or under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ( 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. ; referred to in this section as NEPA ), in connection with exploration and development under any lease to be offered for sale under this Act, prior to the annual lease sale in which such lease is first offered. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, the Secretary’s actions, after any initial lease sale, in approving and enforcing safety requirements and spill prevention and response requirements in individual plans or permits shall be deemed to be actions for the purpose of conserving and protecting the environment that are not subject to NEPA review requirements.
