2026: The Year for Permitting Reform |
America’s outdated permitting system continues to delay critical infrastructure and investment. Comprehensive permitting reform is one of the most powerful steps Congress can take to strengthen U.S. competitiveness, unlock investment and deliver projects faster.
Business Roundtable encourages Congress to enact durable, bipartisan permitting reforms, including:
|
|
|
| Expedited reviews:
Expand categorical exclusions, permit by rule and focus NEPA on true impacts.
|
|
|
|
Energy and grid buildout:
Fast-track LNG, pipelines, power generation and transmission.
|
|
|
| Litigation reform:
Impose reasonable deadlines and reduce injunction abuse.
|
|
|
| Secure supply chains:
Accelerate critical minerals mining, processing and recycling.
|
|
|
| Modern infrastructure:
Simplify approvals for AI data centers, broadband, fiber and wireless.
|
|
|
| Tech-enabled permitting:
Require digital tools and data-sharing.
|
|
|
Congress has an opportunity this year to modernize the federal permitting system.
Ready. Set. Let’s build the infrastructure of today and tomorrow.
