Implementing the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law: Improving Permitting at FPISC

In the third event of our “Overcoming Challenges and Seizing Opportunities: Implementing the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law” series, the Bipartisan Policy Center, National Association of Counties, and National League of Cities will host Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (the Permitting Council) Executive Director Christine Harada to discuss the agency’s efforts to improve the permitting process to deploy these important infrastructure projects more quickly.

While the IIJA represents a generational opportunity to transform America’s transportation, energy, water, and broadband infrastructure, timely delivery of projects is essential to advance national climate goals and bring modernized infrastructure and jobs to meet the needs of communities. The Permitting Council, which was permanently authorized as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, is the agency tasked with improving federal infrastructure permitting and will play a crucial role in ensuring that new federal infrastructure investments are deployed efficiently and impactfully.
