H.R. 4090: Critical Mineral Dominance Act
Sponsor
Pete Stauber
Republican · MN-8
What H.R. 4090 does
H.R. 4090 would direct the Department of the Interior to address mineral supply chain vulnerabilities, including by speeding up and expanding mineral production on federal land. Interior would have to identify priority mining projects on federal lands that can be approved right away and take all necessary steps to speed them up. It would also look for existing, idle or proposed mines that could produce more hardrock minerals or their byproducts, including from mine tailings or coal byproducts.
Interior would also have to suspend, revise or rescind agency actions that place undue burdens on mining projects, recommend changes in law to expand U.S. hardrock mineral production, and review state and local laws that impede domestic mining. It would report on the dollar value and economic impact of U.S. reliance on imported mineral commodities, and prioritize geologic mapping.
