Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 544.

2026-04-28

This bill would streamline the air pollution permitting process for projects deemed important to national security, allowing the federal government to approve certain industrial facilities and infrastructure more quickly while still maintaining environmental protections. The changes would primarily affect companies building defense-related manufacturing plants, energy infrastructure, and other facilities that officials consider critical to national security, potentially reducing the time and regulatory requirements for these projects compared to standard environmental reviews.
