Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Mineral Leasing Act to require the Secretary of the Interior to process applications for a permit to drill, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Energy Permitting Certainty Act, amends the Mineral Leasing Act to require the Secretary of the Interior to process applications for permits to drill, even if there is a pending civil action that does not directly affect or involve the application or related lease, unless a U.S. federal court has determined that the lease was not issued in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This is intended to provide more certainty and expedite the permitting process for drilling on existing leases, while still requiring compliance with NEPA.
