Sponsored By: Representative Ciscomani, Juan [R-AZ-6]

Summary

Creates a single, up-to-date federal list of critical minerals and materials. It harmonizes which minerals and materials federal programs call critical and sets firm 45-day deadlines for publishing and updating that consolidated List.

Show full summary
  • Federal departments and agencies that use the section's definitions must rely on the most recently published Critical Minerals and Materials List for programs that involve those minerals or materials.
  • The Secretary and the Secretary of Energy must publish a consolidated List within 45 days of enactment that includes every critical mineral designated under the statute and any non-fuel mineral, element, substance, or material the Department of Energy had marked as critical as of enactment. They must update the List within 45 days after any new designation changes.
  • The law expands the scope of designations by changing the descriptor to minerals or materials, allowing a broader set of non-fuel items to be listed as critical.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

Unified critical minerals and materials list

If enacted, the government would publish one Critical Minerals and Materials List within 45 days of enactment. The list would include minerals the Secretary has named critical and materials the Energy Department has named critical as of that date. The Secretaries would update the list within 45 days after any change and coordinate updates. Federal agencies would have to use the newest list in programs that rely on these definitions. The bill would also broaden the definition to cover “minerals or materials,” which would allow more inputs to be treated as critical.
