The bill removes a paragraph that limits the Secretary's ability to expedite permit evaluations using funds from certain entities.

  • 33 U.S.C. § 2352(a)

    To the maximum extent practicable, the Secretary shall ensure that expediting the evaluation of a permit through the use of funds accepted and expended under this section does not adversely affect the timeline for evaluation (in the Corps district in which the project or activity is located) of permits under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Army of other entities that have not contributed funds under this section.

    This change allows the Secretary to expedite evaluations without concern for their impact on other entities' permit timelines.
