From the transcript
I spoke earlier about the intense growth in our portfolio, uh, over the last year and a half, and I'm proud that our team has been able to readily meet that increased demand from project sponsors. In addition, the inclusion of the transparency projects on the dashboard has changed the equation for what constitutes a FAST-41 project. Because a transparency project already does not have to meet the investment threshold of a covered project, we have included far more projects on the dashboard below the $200 million investment. These projects have not taken away from our covered project work, and we are still completing both types of projects faster than ever before. In summary, the Permitting Council supports HR 8003 as written, and we are well situated to bring additional projects and continue to show that the FAST-41 process works for projects of all shapes and sizes.

Earth MRI mapping program set to expire; two House bills would extend it and add quantum sensing
The federal geological mapping program that nearly doubled Alaska's publicly available subsurface data expires at year end. Two House bills heard Tuesday would reauthorize it through 2031 and layer quantum gravity sensing onto the effort, with Alaska's unmapped interior at the center of the case for both.
