Revising Scope of the Mining Sector of Projects That Are Eligible for Coverage Under Title 41 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act

The Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (Permitting Council) is extending by 30 days the deadline for submitting comments on its proposal to amend its regulations to revise the scope of "mining" as a sector with infrastructure projects eligible for coverage under Title 41 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST-41) to: (1) apply solely to critical minerals mining projects; and (2) expand the scope of the sector to include infrastructure constructed to support critical minerals supply chain activities, including critical minerals beneficiation, processing, and recycling.
