The purpose clause is rewritten to cover energy and critical minerals
What the document says“for enabling the identification, leasing, development, production, processing, transportation, transmission, refining, and generation needed for energy and critical minerals.”
The section strikes the old purpose wording in the redesignated subsection (e) of section 1706 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and inserts wording covering identification, leasing, development, production, processing, transportation, transmission, refining and generation needed for energy and critical minerals. It also strikes subsection (c), redesignates subsections (d) through (f) as (c) through (e), and drops paragraph (2) of the redesignated subsection (c).
What the document actually says“for enabling the identification, leasing, development, production, processing, transportation, transmission, refining, and generation needed for energy and critical minerals.”
The money is for work across the whole chain. That runs from finding land to making power. It covers energy and key minerals.
Nine kinds of work are named. The old wording is taken out in full. What it said is not recorded here.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
