Permitting Council Moves to Designate the Critical Minerals Supply Chain as a FAST-41 Sector
WASHINGTON (September 21, 2023) – Today, the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (Permitting Council) proposed to revise the FAST-41 mining sector regulations to focus on critical minerals and the full critical minerals supply chain, including critical minerals refining, recycling, and beneficiation, in addition to mining. As the nation works to address the increasing demand for minerals such as lithium and nickel to build a clean energy economy, the Permitting Council is working to make sure that the critical mineral projects covered by FAST-41 are leading the way.
