This legislation, titled the Reducing Permitting Uncertainty Act , amends Section 404(c) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. It establishes a defined timeframe during which the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency may prohibit or restrict the use of specific areas as disposal sites for dredged or fill material. Under the new provisions, this period of prohibition commences on the date an applicant submits all necessary information to complete a permit application. The Administrator's authority to impose such restrictions then concludes on the date the Secretary issues the permit, thereby limiting the duration of potential regulatory intervention. These amendments apply to permit applications submitted after the Act's enactment, aiming to provide greater clarity and predictability in the permitting process.
