AI Summary

This bill, known as the Committing Leases for Energy Access Now Act (CLEAN Act), seeks to amend the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to increase the frequency of geothermal lease sales and require replacement sales if a scheduled sale is canceled or delayed. Specifically, the bill changes the lease sale frequency from every 2 years to every year, and requires the Secretary of the Interior to offer all nominated parcels eligible for geothermal development in each lease sale. The bill also establishes deadlines for the Secretary to review geothermal drilling permit applications, requiring a written notice within 30 days on whether the application is complete and a final decision on the permit within 30 days of the notice.
