Critical Mineral Dominance Act

This bill tells the Department of the Interior to speed up and expand mining of important minerals on federal land. It requires the department to find mining projects that can be approved quickly, identify federal land with mining potential, and remove rules or actions that create unnecessary obstacles for mining projects. The department must also review state and local laws that get in the way of mining, suggest changes to current laws to increase U.S. mineral production, and report on the economic impact of depending on mineral imports from other countries. Additionally, it directs the department to speed up the mapping of geological resources across the country.
