U.S. Chamber Joins Bipartisan Policy Center Permitting Letter

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce joined the Bipartisan Policy Center and other stakeholders in sending the following letter to the U.S. Senate.

"We submit this letter on behalf of a broad, bipartisan group of NGO and industry representatives to applaud you for focusing on permitting reform with your January 28 Hearing to Examine the Federal Environmental Review and Permitting Processes, Part II, and encourage the advancement of comprehensive permitting reform legislation during the 119th Congress. Our current permitting system creates too much uncertainty and unnecessary delays, extending permitting timelines far longer than is necessary to ensure the safe deployment of infrastructure and restoration projects. A more efficient permitting system will improve both economic and environmental outcomes, which is why there has been growing bipartisan support for action."
