Became Law
Summary
This law expands the Federal Permitting Improvement Program under the FAST Act to include computer-related projects. It adds semiconductors, artificial intelligence and machine learning, high-performance computing and advanced computer hardware and software, quantum information science and technology, data storage and data management, and cybersecurity to the list of qualifying projects. That makes these tech and research projects eligible for the FAST Act federal permitting process so developers and federal permitting officials can use coordinated federal review and approvals.
