Lets mining projects get faster federal permits and blocks a rule that could slow them down.
This bill would make it easier for mining projects to get federal permits quickly. It would add mining activities to a fast-track process. It would also stop a federal group from creating new rules that could make it harder for these projects to qualify for faster permits.
Today, mining projects are not explicitly listed for fast-track federal permits under the FAST Act. A federal council has also proposed new rules about their eligibility. If this bill becomes law, mining projects would be explicitly included for faster permits. The federal council would also be blocked from putting those new rules into effect.
