"The legislation to overhaul the National Environmental Policy Act won’t be on the floor next week."
"Members of the House Freedom Caucus are objecting to House Natural Resources Chair Bruce Westerman’s big permitting bill, contributing to a planned floor vote being postponed.
House Republican leaders were eyeing a vote next week on the “Standardizing Permitting and Expediting Economic Development (SPEED) Act,” H.R. 4776, from Westerman and Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine). The bill is now poised to come up the following week.
Westerman said the delay was “to get everything ready to go and to consider any amendments and stuff we need a little more time on.”
The House is still poised to take up some permitting and electric reliability legislation next week as lawmakers look to make progress on a broad, bipartisan deal this Congress."
