NOIA Welcomes Bipartisan Senate Agreement on Permitting Reform

A bipartisan Senate agreement on permitting reform marks a significant breakthrough on one of the most important issues facing American energy development. We are reviewing the details, but what we know so far is encouraging. The focus on permit certainty, clear and enforceable timelines, more predictable judicial review, and greater accountability in the federal permitting process addresses many of the issues that have made it harder to invest in and build major energy projects in the United States.

Few things Congress could do would have a more meaningful impact on the bottom lines of American families than permitting reform. Clear, predictable permitting processes restore investor confidence, unlock American energy development, and help deliver the affordable, reliable energy families and businesses depend on. Certainty in permitting delivers certainty in investment, keeping capital, jobs, and production here in the United States.

We know the House has already put significant time and energy into advancing permitting reform, and this Senate agreement creates a real opportunity for Congress to deliver a durable bipartisan solution. We appreciate the work across the aisle from both sides of the Capitol and look forward to Congress getting meaningful permitting reform across the finish line.
