This could affect the cost of building and operating hydropower facilities.

This bill would require the Secretary of the Army to create clear, standardized rules for reviewing applications to alter or use non-federal hydropower projects. This means hydropower project operators would get a more predictable and transparent process, with clear checklists and timelines, instead of the current less structured system.
