The Free to Exit Administrative Tribunals Act, or FEAT Act, seeks to expedite the resolution of specific administrative proceedings within the Department of the Interior. This legislation establishes a mechanism allowing certain parties to remove their cases from the Department's internal administrative tribunals to a United States district court. A covered party , defined as one initiating an action for Department approval or seeking relief from a Department-imposed sanction, may remove a covered action —an agency proceeding before the Departmental Cases Hearings Division or the Interior Board of Land Appeals—to a federal court. This removal must occur within 60 days of the action's initiation, following procedures similar to those for civil case removal. Once removed, the district court will conduct a de novo review of the administrative proceeding, meaning it will consider the case anew without deference to the prior administrative decision.
