S. 1735 — Permitting Transparency and Accountability Act

This section requires the head of each covered agency (i.e., an agency that issues permits) to maintain a webpage on the agency's website displaying specified information on the status of each permit application, including information on reviews by reviewing agencies (i.e., agencies that review applications or engage in related steps but do not issue the permit). The required information includes (1) descriptions of stages completed by the covered or reviewing agency and the duration in days of each such stage; (2) the application's current status and days at that stage; (3) contact information for each individual reviewing the application in the covered or reviewing agency; (4) descriptions of remaining stages before a determination; and (5) an estimated timeline for a determination. (Permit and agency have the meanings given in 5 U.S.C. §551.)
