Sponsored By: Representative Shreve, Jefferson [R-IN-6]

Passed House

Summary

Includes mining and mineral processing as covered projects under FAST-41 and blocks a specific FPISC rule that would revise mining coverage. It would make mining projects eligible for the FAST-41 expedited permitting framework while preventing the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council from finalizing, implementing, administering, or enforcing the proposed rule at 88 Fed. Reg. 65350.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Faster federal permits for mining projects

If enacted, this bill would add mining and mineral processing to FAST-41 covered projects. Developers would be able to apply for faster federal permitting and council oversight. Projects would still need to meet FAST-41 rules and thresholds already in law.

Blocks mining permitting scope rule

This bill would stop the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council from finalizing or enforcing a proposed rule from September 22, 2023. That proposed rule concerns mining project eligibility under FAST-41 (88 Fed. Reg. 65350). Projects and agencies would keep using current law and valid rules. Supporters of the rule would not get those changes; opponents would keep the status quo.
