This bill amends the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA) to streamline the permitting process for certain energy facilities, specifically allowing critical energy resource facilities to receive interim hazardous waste permits under Subtitle C. It defines a critical energy resource as an energy resource determined by the Secretary of Energy to be essential to the U.S. energy sector and systems, and whose supply chain is vulnerable to disruption. A critical energy resource facility is further defined as a facility that processes or refines such a critical energy resource. By granting these facilities eligibility for interim permits, the legislation aims to expedite their operations. This measure is intended to support the energy sector by facilitating the development and processing of vital resources.
