Sponsored By: Representative Deluzio, Christopher R. [D-PA-17]

In Committee

Summary

expand eligibility for expedited federal permitting. This bill would lower the dollar threshold used in two FAST Act provisions from $200 million to $50 million, widening which projects can seek expedited permitting. It takes effect on January 1, 2027, or on the date of enactment, whichever is later.

Show full summary
  • Projects with estimated costs between $50 million and $200 million could become eligible for FAST Act expedited permitting, opening fast-track options to more mid‑size infrastructure work.
  • The $50 million threshold applies to both the FAST Act definition and the permitting process improvement criterion, so federal and state permitting agencies would see a larger set of projects handled under the Act's procedures.
  • Local and regional infrastructure efforts that fall in the new cost range may gain access to federal permitting coordination and related process improvements.

Faster federal permits for $50M projects

This bill would lower two FAST Act cost thresholds from $200,000,000 to $50,000,000. If enacted, projects estimated at $50 million or more would meet the cost test for expedited federal permitting and permitting-process improvements. The change would take effect on January 1, 2027, or on the date of enactment, whichever is later. Project owners and developers would be able to seek faster permitting, and the bill does not create new federal spending.
