What Can Congress Do?
Pass the Regulatory Accountability
Act (RAA). RAA would increase
transparency during rule development
and require agencies to consider
alternatives to their objective at
a lower cost.

What Can Congress Do?
Pass the Sunshine Act. This would
require agencies to give the public
early notice when a special interest
group is preparing to sue the agency
to force new regulations to be written.

Step 4:GuaranteeA Safe
But Swift Permitting Process
The lack of hard deadlines for
environmental reviews and legal
challenges has led to critical energy
and infrastructure projects being
delayed or killed.

What Can Congress Do?
Pass the Federal Permitting
Improvement Act/RAPID Act.
This would empower a lead
agency to manage environmental
reviews, coordinate work between
existing agencies and set a
maximum deadline.
