Marcella Burke was featured in Bloomberg Law’s coverage of the Trump Administration’s new permit fee program in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act intended to accelerate environmental reviews.
The article, “Trump Tax Law’s Permit Fee Seen as Speeding Environment Reviews,” discusses the Trump Administration’s plan to allow developers to pay a fee to the Council on Environmental Quality for faster permitting decisions.
Burke was cited in the article noting that expedited processing is not unusual for government agencies to offer to those willing and able to pay. She pointed to existing models such as passport applications, FOIA requests, and patent reviews that already allow faster processing for a fee.
