Jurisdictional Determination Backlog Reduction Act

This bill mandates the Secretary of the Army to eliminate existing backlogs of certain applications and requests. Specifically, it targets applications for permits under section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and requests for jurisdictional determinations that fall under the Secretary's purview. To achieve this, the legislation requires the Secretary, acting through the Chief of Engineers, to expedite procedures and reallocate or augment personnel and resources of the Corps of Engineers. This action must be taken not later than 60 days after the date of enactment , focusing on backlogs that existed as of June 5, 2025, to ensure timely processing of these critical environmental and development-related requests.
