Permitting Transparency and Accountability Act

This bill would require every federal agency that issues permits to put a webpage on its website showing the status of permit applications. For each application, the webpage would list the review stages already completed by the issuing agency or any other agency involved in the review, and how many days each stage took. It would also show the current status, how long the application has been at its current stage, and contact information for each person reviewing it. The page would also describe the remaining stages before a decision and give an estimated timeline for that decision.
