S 4710 United States Senate · 117th Congress

A bill to include phosphate and potash on the final list of critical minerals of the Department of the Interior.

S 4710 adds phosphate and potash to the Department of the Interior's official list of critical minerals, updating the 2022 final list published in the Federal Register (87 Fed. Reg. 10381). This change directly affects industries relying on these minerals, such as agricultural fertilizer production and chemical manufacturing. The bill amends the existing list without creating new regulations or requirements.
