U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday is expected to sign an executive order that would give federal agencies emergency powers to fast-track major energy and other infrastructure projects by overriding environmental permitting requirements, two sources familiar with the proposal said.
The order is billed as a way to"support and accelerate" the economic recovery from the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic and improve U.S. energy and other infrastructure, according to bullet points summarizing the order seen by Reuters.It calls for public works and highway projects as well as energy projects like pipelines and terminals to be expedited, and instructs the Interior, Agriculture and Defense Departments to accelerate projects on federal lands.
Trump has been a vocal advocate of fossil fuels as president and has sought to roll back regulations slowing their development and reduce state powers to block projects for environmental reasons. Industry groups praised the order. The National Mining Association said it will"support increased use of the vast domestic mineral reserves we have right here at home."
