History of Results
Passed in 2015, the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act delivered an important step toward streamlining the permitting process by establishing the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (FPISC). The Permitting Institute’s senior leadership team led the FPISC program for three years, delivering an unprecedented track record in time savings for projects under their management, including some of the largest renewable and conventional energy projects in the world.
FPISC Year 1 under Herrgott’s leadership: 45% average reduction time to permit issuance
FPISC Year 2 under Herrgott’s leadership: 60% average reduction time to permit issuance
8.5 years of combined time savings for two projects (Alaska LNG and Gemini Solar) that are the largest-of-their-kind projects in the country
Billions saved in project overhead cost directly attributed to predictable permitting deadlines and early completion for all required project reviews and authorizations
Approval and completion of over $200 billion in infrastructure projects and the creation of over 32,000 jobs
The Permitting Institute builds on this foundation of success as an advocate for the projects and policies America needs most. Streamlined processes and increased predictability in state and federal processes will increase investor confidence and deliver sustained new infrastructure development.
