On January 18, 2017, the FPISC Executive Director issued two reports as required by FAST-41:
Recommended Performance Schedules. This first report provides a generic permitting timetable for covered projects and establishes the groundwork for future development of performance schedules.
Recommended Best Practices. Federal agencies are encouraged to make improvements consistent with these recommendations, as appropriate, in the execution of the environmental reviews authorizations for infrastructure projects.
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.
