Unified list for critical minerals and materials
If enacted, the government would publish one official List within 45 days. It would include minerals named by the Secretary and materials already named by the Energy Secretary. The List would be updated within 45 days after either agency changes its designations. The two agencies would coordinate timing of updates when possible. Federal agencies that use these terms would have to use the newest List to run programs. The bill would also change one clause so "critical" covers both minerals and materials.
