Increased use of coal is essential to reduce US reliance on imported oil. The Office of Management and Budget established the Permit Review Assessment Task Force for Coal-Fired Powerplants and Coal Mines to determine to what extent administrative aspects of permitting are impeding planned construction and operation of new coal-fired powerplants and mines. The Permit Review Assessment Task Force has identified the major Federal permits required for coal-fired powerplants and the facilities presently in the permitting process. Its purpose is to track the permitting status of these facilities. A specific Federal permit is not required for a coal-fired powerplant to commence operation. However, most coal-fired powerplants are required to have one or more Federal permits before construction. The major Federal permits trackd by the Task Force are listed along with the responsible Federal agency.
