Building Infrastructure Fast & Smart; The Biden Administration released a Permitting Action Plan this week.
— Agencies will identify, share, or develop resources, trainings, and tools to assist project sponsors, permit applicants, affected communities, Tribal communities, and other stakeholders. The plan recognizes that engaging the public and completing environmental reviews quickly requires staff and resources. Many agencies like the Bureau of Land Management lost staff with the necessary expertise over the past several years needed to conduct effective environmental reviews.
Local communities — as well as state, local and tribal governments — need financial support to engage in project development in a prompt and meaningful manner. Tribal Historic Preservation Officers need resources to ensure that projects such as wind farms, pipelines or transmission lines, are built in a way that protects historic and cultural resources. Infrastructure money should fund such capacity as well as concrete.
