To require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to authorize the use of flexible air permitting with respect to certain critical energy resource facilities, and for other purposes.

HR 1131 requires the EPA to revise its air permitting rules to allow "flexible air permitting" for specific energy facilities. This applies to owners or operators of facilities processing "critical energy resources" (as defined by the Energy Secretary), which are essential energy sources with vulnerable supply chains. The bill directs the EPA to adopt the existing 2009 flexible permitting framework (from the Federal Register) to enable these facilities to adjust operations more easily. This change would streamline permitting for facilities deemed critical to U.S. energy security, without altering environmental standards.
