To encourage States to participate with the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council's online dashboard for certain covered projects.

This bill aims to encourage States to participate in the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council's (FPISC) online dashboard and environmental review process. It specifically applies to "covered projects" that require a State certification or permit under sections 401, 402, or 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. By promoting state involvement, the legislation seeks to streamline the environmental review and authorization process for these significant infrastructure projects. States are encouraged to integrate their permitting activities into the existing federal framework to the maximum extent practicable, fostering greater coordination between state and federal agencies for more efficient project delivery.
