## 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. - 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.
