On August 23, 2023, from 1:30 - 3:00 PM ET, the Grid Deployment Office hosted a public webinar to share more about DOE’s proposed Coordinated Interagency Transmission Authorization and Permits (CITAP) Program and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR).
Proposed on August 10, 2023, the Coordinated Interagency Transmission Authorizations and Permits (CITAP) Program will accelerate Federal environmental review and permitting processes for qualifying onshore electric transmission facilities. Consistent with the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, the Program aims toward a better coordinated, more streamlined process that will set deadlines for Federal authorizations and permits for electric transmission on a two-year timeline while ensuring meaningful engagement with Tribes, local communities, and other stakeholders.
DOE is now seeking public comment and feedback on the proposed CITAP Program via a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Comments must be received by 11:59 p.m. ET on October 2, 2023.
