The Geothermal Energy Opportunity Act sets a deadline for processing geothermal leasing applications.
The Geothermal Energy Opportunity Act amends the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to establish a deadline for processing applications related to geothermal leasing. The Secretary of the Interior must approve or deny applications within 60 days of meeting all federal requirements. This provision applies regardless of any pending civil actions, unless a federal court intervenes. The bill does not alter existing court authority over geothermal leases and permits.
