WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following the passage of the Promoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure Today (PERMIT) Act by the U.S. House of Representatives, Marty Durbin, President of the U.S. Chamber’s Global Energy Institute, issued the following statement.
“The U.S. Chamber commends the House for passing the PERMIT Act, a critical step toward modernizing our nation's permitting processes. The legislation tackles long-standing challenges in clean water permitting by reducing costly delays that hinder the timely deployment of infrastructure and innovation needed to improve water quality in communities across the U.S. A modern, efficient permitting process enables investment, job creation, and sustained economic growth. We thank Chairmen Graves and Collins for their leadership, and urge the Senate to keep the momentum going and advance comprehensive permitting reform legislation as soon as possible.”
