Streamlining Coal Mining Permit Approvals

This act aims to speed up the process of issuing coal mining permits on federal lands. This means coal companies may start or continue operations more quickly, potentially impacting coal availability and jobs in the mining sector. Simultaneously, environmental review processes will still need to be completed.
Key points
Accelerates the issuance of coal mining permits for applications already undergoing environmental review.
Requires prompt finalization of fair market value for coal tracts and granting of qualified applications.
Revokes a previous order that paused new federal coal leases, potentially opening up new projects.
