In this section, the term eligible clean coal generating projects means any project undertaken to install and operate an advanced carbon capture and storage technology at a new or existing steam generating unit. The Department of Energy shall be the lead agency for the purposes of coordinating all requirements under Federal law with respect to eligible clean coal generating projects, including any requirements of— the Clean Air Act ( 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. ); the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.); the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.); the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ( 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. ); and the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300f et seq.).
In carrying out subsection (b), the Secretary of Energy shall establish a schedule for all Federal authorizations with respect to each eligible project, including by— setting binding intermediate milestones and deadlines to ensure expeditious completion of all proceedings and final action on all Federal authorizations relating to the eligible project; requiring that all permit decisions and related environmental reviews under applicable Federal law shall be completed not later than 1 year after the date on which a complete application for each environmental review is submitted, or as soon as practicable thereafter; and coordinating, to the maximum extent practicable, any State permitting and environmental requirements.
To streamline and expedite review of Federal authorizations for eligible clean coal generating projects, the Secretary of Energy shall— enter into memoranda of understanding with applicable Federal agencies; facilitate a pre-application review process with applicable Federal agencies; and consolidate all environmental reviews of the eligible clean coal generating project into a single environmental review document. With respect to an application for Federal authorization relating to an eligible clean coal generating project, the applicable Federal circuit court may review and remedy— any failure by a Federal agency to complete action on the application by the date that is 1 year after the date on which the complete application was submitted to the agency; and any issuance of an action or order by a Federal agency with respect to the application that is inconsistent with applicable Federal law.
