Core Content

This document outlines the Legislative Outline for Rebuilding Infrastructure in America, a comprehensive framework proposed by the Administration to address the deteriorating state of the nation's infrastructure. The plan aims to stimulate investment, improve efficiency, and modernize infrastructure across multiple sectors, including transportation, water systems, energy, public lands, and rural areas. It emphasizes collaboration between federal, state, and local governments, as well as private entities, to ensure sustainable and impactful development.

Main Goals

• Stimulate $1.5 trillion in new investment over the next 10 years.
• Shorten the project approval process to 2 years or less.
• Address unmet rural infrastructure needs.
• Empower state and local authorities.
• Train the American workforce for future infrastructure development.
• Revitalize brownfield and superfund sites.
• Improve environmental permitting processes.
• Enhance federal financing programs for infrastructure projects.

Key Components

Part 1: Funding and Financing Infrastructure Improvements

• Infrastructure Incentives Program:

  • Provides $100 billion in federal grants to encourage state, local, and private investment.

  • Includes a look-back period of up to 3 years for prior revenue generation, with multipliers based on the time elapsed.
  • No single state can receive more than 10% of the total program funds.
  • No individual grant can exceed 20% of the new revenue.

• Rural Infrastructure Program:

  • Allocates $50 billion for rural infrastructure development.
  • 80% of funds are distributed via a formula-based system based on rural lane miles and population.
  • 20% is reserved for rural performance grants, which require states to publish a Rural Infrastructure Investment Plan (RIIP).
  • Includes support for Tribal and Territorial infrastructure.

• Transformative Projects Program:

  • Provides $20 billion for innovative and high-impact projects.
  • Supports three funding tracks: demonstration, project planning, and capital construction.
  • Offers up to 30%, 50%, and 80% federal funding for each respective track.
  • Requires value sharing agreements for capital construction projects.
  • Includes performance monitoring and oversight.

• Infrastructure Financing Programs:

  • Expands and broadens existing credit programs, including TIFIA, RRIF, and WIFIA, to include ports, airports, and waterways.
  • Allocates $14 billion to expand credit programs and $6 billion for PABs (Private Activity Bonds) to improve public infrastructure financing.
  • Removes lending limits and eligibility restrictions for WIFIA to include flood mitigation, navigation, and Superfund/Brownfield cleanup.

Part 3: Infrastructure Permitting Improvements

• Federal Role:
  • Creates a "One Agency, One Decision" environmental review structure.
  • Reduces inefficiencies in environmental reviews, clean water protection, Magnuson Stevens Act, clean air protection, and public land/historic property preservation.
• Delegation to States:
  • Expands NEPA assignment to other agencies.
  • Allows states to assume FHWA responsibilities for right-of-way acquisitions.
• Pilot Programs:
  • Includes performance-based and negotiated mitigation pilots.
• Judicial Reform:
  • Limits injunctive relief to exceptional circumstances.
  • Sets a 150-day statute of limitations for federal permits.
  • Ensures clarity and data currentness in environmental reviews and permits.

Part 4: Workforce Development

• Access to Education and Workforce Development:
  • Expands Pell Grant eligibility to include short-term programs.
  • Reforms Career and Technical Education (CTE).
  • Strengthens ties between college students and the infrastructure workforce.

Summary of Key Funding Allocations

Conclusion

The proposal seeks to modernize, expand, and streamline the nation's infrastructure development through a combination of funding, financing, and permitting reforms.
