To amend the Solid Waste Disposal Act to provide the owner or operator of a critical energy resource facility an interim permit under subtitle C that is subject to final approval by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and for other purposes.

HR 1070 creates a new interim permit process for owners or operators of critical energy resource facilities under the Solid Waste Disposal Act. This allows these facilities to operate under an interim permit while awaiting final EPA approval, streamlining permitting for projects involving critical energy resources. The bill defines "critical energy resource" as energy sources essential to U.S. energy systems with vulnerable supply chains (as determined by the Secretary of Energy), and "critical energy resource facility" as one processing or refining such resources. The interim permit must still be approved by the EPA Administrator, ensuring environmental oversight remains in place. This change directly affects energy infrastructure projects focused on securing critical supply chains.
