What this amendment would do

This amendment replaces a portion of the measure to govern how Federal licenses and permits interact with water quality requirements and certifying authorities, which are the State, interstate agency, Indian Tribe, or Administrator responsible for issuing water quality certifications. It sets strict limitations on when a certifying authority can deny or condition a permit application, establishes exact procedures and timelines for submitting and reviewing applications, and outlines specific rules for judicial review and court challenges.

The text details requirements for prefiling meetings, written acknowledgments of receipt, and notifications regarding complete applications or missing materials within specified timeframes. It also creates a special rule for certain interstate transmission line projects and natural gas projects requiring a certificate of public convenience and necessity, setting a maximum nine-month review period for those specific projects.
