Congressman Matt Rosendale (MT-02) today addressed the House Committee on Natural Resources, highlighting issues with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) permitting process. He argued that this process has caused significant delays in crucial economic development projects in Montana.
Rosendale specifically pointed to prolonged delays affecting the NEPA permitting for the Spring Creek and Rosebud mines, which employ hundreds of Montanans.
"In my home state of Montana, the overreach of the NEPA process impacts every sector—delaying vital infrastructure projects and hindering energy production, wildfire protection, and agriculture," said Rep. Rosendale. "These bills represent an important step towards fixing the broken NEPA process and ensuring that our constituents can enjoy the benefits of a streamlined, efficient, and fair system."
