West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin , chair of the Senate Energy Committee, said he wants to undo the Biden administration's final rule on permitting, according to The Hill.
"All the White House had to do was implement the commonsense, bipartisan permitting reforms in the Fiscal Responsibility Act, that all sides agreed upon," Manchin said. "But once again they've disregarded the deal that was made, the intent of the law that was signed, and are instead corrupting it with their own radical agenda."
The new process would streamline permits that would not have enough of an environmental impact to require a full review, according to The Hill. The Energy Department is also undoing a rule from the Trump administration that added hurdles to public comment, The Hill reported. Manchin told Upstream earlier this year that updates to the U.S. approvals process were included in an earlier draft of the Inflation Reduction Act but were thrown out because no funds were found to back it.
