This bill requires the Department of the Interior to process applications for geothermal drilling permits within 60 days after all federal legal requirements are met. The 60-day deadline applies to applications under existing geothermal leases, unless a federal court has blocked or stopped the lease. The bill changes the current Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 by adding this specific time limit for processing these applications.
