Dear Majority Leader Thune, Speaker Johnson, Minority Leader Schumer, and
Minority Leader Jeffries:
On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we urge your support for the
Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026. The durable and lasting
permitting reforms contained within this legislation will deliver transformative
change for industries and communities across our nation and the economy.
This legislation is essential to ensure continued domestic production of the
energy and minerals resources necessary for essential technologies, national
security and the economic competitiveness of industries like ours that depend on
a secure supply of responsibly sourced materials. Further, advancing this
bipartisan permitting package will have the immediate effect of reducing
regulatory uncertainty and signaling to cautious investors that the United States
is ready to strengthen domestically sourced supply chains.
We applaud the hard work from both parties in crafting this important legislation
to ensure that it provides the necessary permitting efficiencies and certainty for
projects requiring federal permits to move forward. We also appreciate the
difficult task before you in advancing this legislation before the end of 119th
Congress but urge you to seize this opportunity and pass this important,
bipartisan legislation into law and enhance America’s competitiveness.
Your efforts to fix the permitting process while upholding our nation’s leading
safety and environmental standards are crucial to building America’s future. We
urge your support for the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026
to solidify America’s economic leadership.
