Martin Heinrich, Mike Lee, and Sheldon Whitehouse co-sponsored a bill that modifies federal permitting processes, including environmental reviews, to expedite a wide range of projects. The legislation narrows the scope of review for water quality certifications, modifies requirements for threatened or endangered species, and removes permit requirements for onshore oil and gas drilling on nonfederal land.
