## Summary

**Designate and fast-track critical artificial intelligence infrastructure as priority national defense projects.** This bill would create a new Title III process to identify eligible AI infrastructure, speed federal permitting and environmental review, and authorize federal financing and compensation mechanisms tied to those projects. - Project owners and developers would get a pathway to expedited permits and reviews and could receive federal exemptions from some emissions or operational limits when needed for defense. The bill also creates a compensation process if federal actions prohibit or materially impair a designated project for at least 180 days and ties payments to the Defense Production Act Fund. - Power providers and rural electric cooperatives could access Title III loans, loan guarantees, and other assistance to support dispatchable baseload capacity that serves designated projects, with support covering up to 90% of reasonable project costs and maturities up to 30 years. - Federal agencies and courts would use concurrent permitting, an assigned lead agency for environmental reviews, and expedited judicial review timelines to speed decisions. *The bill authorizes federal spending and compensation through the Defense Production Act Fund and Title III authorities, which would result in federal outlays.*
