HR 8308 United States House · 119th Congress

CERTAIN Act

The CERTAIN Act aims to expedite federal permitting and environmental reviews for infrastructure projects by imposing strict timelines on federal agencies. It limits an agency's ability to revoke existing project authorizations unless specific conditions are met, such as a court order or immediate harm. The bill mandates deadlines for agencies to process applications, determine completeness, and conduct environmental reviews, with routine authorizations automatically approved if agencies miss their deadlines.
