A FAST Act (FAST-41) Primer Webinar: What it is and how it can make your project related environmental review and permitting more efficient, concurrent and timely.

Come join Craig Litteken, an Infrastructure Project Advisor, with the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (FPISC) and Josh Fitzpatrick, an Environmental Program Officer, with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and learn about the benefits of FAST-41 coverage.

Title 41 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST-41) was enacted in 2015 to increase interagency communication and cooperation, enhance transparency, and encourage efficient processing of Federal environmental reviews and authorizations for large-scale infrastructure projects. The Permitting Council, established by FAST-41, coordinates environmental review and authorization decisions across all Federal agencies with “covered” project permitting responsibilities, and identifies and institutionalizes best practices that improve the efficiency and quality of the environmental review and authorization process. After multiple years of implementation and data collection, FAST-41 project coverage has proven to be a valuable tool for more efficient large infrastructure environmental reviews.

This webinar is open to members and non-members.
