This bill expands which mining projects qualify for the FAST Act's coordinated federal permitting review process, and blocks a proposed rule that would have gone the other way. It adds mining and mineral processing to the FAST Act's definition of a covered project, the designation that lets a project use the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council's streamlined review under Title 41. It also bars the Council from finalizing, implementing, administering, or enforcing a proposed rule from September 2023, titled Revising Scope of the Mining Sector of Projects That Are Eligible for Coverage Under Title 41 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act, which addressed that same question of which mining sector projects qualify for the coverage.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 5 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 12 quarterly reports filed by 5 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
The organizations named: Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International; National Mining Association; Toyota Motor North America Inc (TMA); American Exploration & Mining Association; Earthworks. Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. Our copy holds 2 fewer filings for 2025 Q4 and 7 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q3 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
