Bill Summary

A BILL To require that certain actions taken by the Secretary of Defense be treated as an eligible transportation project, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the Permit Reform In Mining for Energy and Defense Act (PRIMED Act), seeks to streamline the federal permitting process for certain actions taken by the Secretary of Defense under the Defense Production Act. Specifically, the bill would treat these actions as "covered projects" under the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (FPISC) process, which would include them in the Permitting Dashboard. This would provide for expedited review and coordination of the permitting process, unless the project sponsor requests otherwise. The actions covered include support for feasibility studies, byproduct and co-product production, and modernization of mining and processing facilities to increase productivity, sustainability, and safety, all aimed at strengthening domestic production capabilities for critical minerals and materials.
