AI Summary

This bill aims to improve the permitting process for mining on federal land. It defines key terms like "mineral" and "mineral project," and makes several changes to existing laws to streamline the federal permitting and review process. This includes establishing timelines for environmental reviews, allowing the use of documents prepared by project applicants, and designating mining as a "covered sector" for federal permitting improvement purposes.
