Bill > HR3937

This bill has two main components focused on land conveyance and permitting processes. First, the bill authorizes the conveyance of approximately 14 acres of National Forest System land in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest to Tony's Wabeno Redi-Mix, LLC, a private company. The conveyance requires the company to pay the market value of the land, determined by an appraisal conducted according to professional standards, and to cover all associated costs such as surveys and environmental analyses. The land transfer must occur within 180 days of the federal appraisal approval, and the conveyance will be made by quitclaim deed and subject to existing rights. The second part of the bill mandates that the Secretary of the Interior conduct a comprehensive review of federal permitting processes for stone, sand, and gravel development on federal lands. Within 180 days of enactment, the Secretary must submit a report to congressional committees detailing the current permitting process, identifying inefficiencies, recommending improvements, and analyzing the economic impacts of current permitting timelines. This review aims to potentially streamline and improve the regulatory process for mineral resource development on federal lands.
