The bill urges state governments to use the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council’s online dashboard when handling projects that require state water permits under sections 401, 402, or 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. By encouraging participation in the dashboard, the bill aims to streamline the environmental review and authorization process outlined in the FAST Act. It primarily affects states and any “covered projects” that need those water‑related permits.

Key Provisions

  • States are encouraged to participate, as much as practicable, in the steering council’s online dashboard for covered projects that need a 401, 402, or 404 permit.
  • Participation is meant to support the environmental review and authorization process under section 41003(c) of the FAST Act.
