Trump Pledges Rapid Permitting Amid Industry Push For Air Permit Reform

摘要

President Donald Trump is vowing to speed up the environmental permitting process for industry, promising "a short process" where most applications will be approved quickly, amid a broader industry push for streamlining of the air permitting program that critics say hinders industrial development and slows economic growth. Speaking to car industry CEOs at the White House Jan. 24, Trump pledged to remove environmental regulatory hurdles that slow down industrial projects and hinder job growth. Trump said that some in industry "go many, many years and they can't get their environmental permit over something that nobody ever heard of before, and it's crazy," according to news reports.
