The FREE Act aims to streamline federal permitting processes by requiring agencies to implement a "permitting by rule" system with clear standards and strict deadlines for approval. It mandates agencies to report on their current permitting processes, identify permits suitable for the new system, and automatically approve applications meeting all requirements within 180 days. The Act also includes provisions for audits, compliance verification, appeals, and financial responsibility for agencies causing unreasonable delays, with oversight from Congress and the Comptroller General. This legislation intends to reduce delays and costs in federal permitting while still protecting the interests that permitting systems are meant to safeguard.
