Investing in and improving our Nation’s infrastructure strengthens our economy, makes America more competitive globally, and reduces the costs of goods and services for American families. Through its Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Budget request to Congress, the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (FPISC) continues the President’s efforts for making much needed infrastructure investments in the most efficient and effective ways possible, while also protecting public safety and the environment.
About the Permitting Council and FAST-41
Established in 2015 by Title 41 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST-41), the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (Permitting Council) is a federal agency charged with improving the transparency and predictability of the federal environmental review and authorization process for certain critical infrastructure projects. The Permitting Council is composed of the Permitting Council Executive Director, who serves as the Council Chair; 13 federal agency Council members; and the Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. The Office of the Executive Director coordinates federal environmental reviews and authorizations for projects that seek and qualify for FAST-41 coverage, which are in turn entitled to comprehensive permitting timetables and transparent, collaborative management of those timetables on the Federal Permitting Dashboard.
