Permitting Council

Utah is serious about building, and that means making permitting more transparent, accountable, and predictable. Today, we signed an agreement with the White House Permitting Council to better align state and federal permitting timelines for critical infrastructure and energy projects. This will help reduce unnecessary delays, strengthen domestic supply chains, support more reliable and affordable energy for Utahns, and ensure we can continue to responsibly steward the land, air, and water that make Utah special. Thank you to Executive Director @ehdomenech and the White House @PermitCouncil for partnering with Utah as we work to build the infrastructure and resources America needs.

Today Director @ehdomenech and Utah @GovCox signed an MOU to establish a more efficient and transparent permitting process for the State of Utah that will strengthen the economy and advance President Trump’s infrastructure and energy dominance agenda. permitting.gov/newsroom/press…

WGA Executive Director Jack Waldorf moderated an important discussion on permitting reform at @GovCox’s Operation Gigawatt Summit this morning. He was joined by Theresa Foxley from @rplus_energies, @ehdomenech of the @PermitCouncil, and @EPA Region 8 Administrator Cyrus Western

We're closing out a productive final Energy Superabundance workshop from Salt Lake City! Thank you to @GovCox, @GovernorGordon, @ehdomenech of the @PermitCouncil, and all of our brilliant experts and guests who offered their expertise and insights. ow.ly/3bat50Z2TjU

Director @ehdomenech joined @westgov’s Energy Superabundance workshop in Salt Lake City for a discussion with @GovCox and @GovernorGordon on the future of energy abundance, and how the agency is delivering on President Trump’s energy dominance agenda.

The Natural State is primed to support our nation’s critical mineral needs, and completing FAST-41 permitting represents significant progress toward full-scale lithium production at the South West Arkansas Project. I’m pleased the Trump administration prioritized an efficient, transparent federal review that delivers much-needed certainty, helps unlock tremendous economic opportunity regionally and beyond, and advances a key national security objective to counter our reliance on foreign adversaries.

For America to compete on the global stage in energy production, we must tap into the natural resources lying right here in our own backyard. With the lithium deposits found in the Fourth District, the Natural State is well-positioned to contribute greatly to unlocking our nation’s domestic energy potential. The South West Arkansas Project invests in that potential by reducing our reliance on foreign supply chains and driving regional growth through employment opportunities and infrastructure investment. Congressman Westerman is grateful for the folks in Washington and in Arkansas who have made this exciting announcement possible.

We are happy to announce that the Arctic Project has received FAST-41 coverage! The Alaskan mining project will extract commercial quantities of critical and strategic minerals essential to U.S. economic growth and national security. permitting.gov/newsroom/press…

We are happy to share that @StandardLithium & @Equinor’s South West Arkansas Project has completed federal permitting! The mining project will produce 22,500 tonnes of battery-quality lithium carbonate, helping build a critical domestic supply chain. permitting.gov/newsroom/press…

An update from @ehdomenech with @PermitCouncil at the #WomensMiningCoalition fly in! So much is being accomplished under FAST-41. #WomenInMining #WMCFlyIn #ProudtobeWMC

Yesterday, CEQ Chairman Scarlett joined Executive Director Emily Domenech from the @PermitCouncil and Deputy Executive Director John Reiten from the National Energy Dominance Council at #SelectUSASummit for a panel on Federal permitting and what to expect as you move a project from concept to construction. These three entities work closely together dedicated to @POTUS agenda to unleash American energy through efficient permitting!

Great news for Navajo communities near the border between Arizona and New Mexico: permitting.gov/newsroom/press…

The Navajo Nation Gallup McKinley County Schools E-Rate Funded Broadband Project has completed federal permitting! This milestone will help connect schools and libraries to high-speed internet and bridge the digital divide. tinyurl.com/5xh4bbxj

During this administration the Permitting Council has added FAST-41 projects across 29 states, and signed MOUs with 3 states, setting a new standard of permitting transparency and efficiency. Learn more about our state partnership opportunities: permitting.gov/resources/stat…

TN is leading the nation in securing America’s energy future & strengthening advanced manufacturing. With Project Crucible now a FAST-41 project, we’re speeding up critical infrastructure & cutting delays. We thank @POTUS for partnering to drive innovation & opportunity in TN.

We are proud to share that Project Crucible is the latest to receive FAST-41 coverage! The Tennessee-based manufacturing project will produce 11 designated critical minerals, as well as semiconductor grade sulfuric acid. permitting.gov/newsroom/press…

I’m pleased to announce that @ehdomenech director of @PermitCouncil is joining us at the Operation Gigawatt Summit on May 22. Emily has been at the center of federal efforts to streamline permitting and build major infrastructure projects. That work is essential as we focus on cutting red tape and delivering the energy capacity needed for American energy dominance. More here: gigawattsummit.com

Director @ehdomenech joined @ACC_National and @UNC for the Energy Freedom Tour, to share how the Permitting Council is executing on the administration’s commitment to American energy dominance.

ICYMI: Skillings Mining Review shared how FAST-41 is shifting the narrative when it comes to permitting mining projects, citing the success of @South32Hermosa as a case study in speed and permitting efficiency. skillings.net/fast-41-permit…
