What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Reducing Permitting Uncertainty Act," proposes changes to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. It specifically targets how the Administrator handles the prohibition of certain areas being used as disposal sites for dredged or fill material. The amendment changes the timeframe during which the Administrator can prohibit or restrict these areas. Under this proposal, the period begins when an applicant submits all required information and ends when the Secretary issues the permit. These changes apply to permit applications submitted after the Act is enacted.
