Abstract

The article reports on a bill passed by the U.S. House to expedite permits for mining critical minerals on public lands, dismissing objections from President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats that the bill would weaken environmental regulation and could cover hard-rock mining. Democrats critique the bill's definition of critical and strategic minerals. Amendments to the bill covering critical and strategic minerals and mining royalties were rejected by the House.
