Air Permitting Improvements to Protect National Security Act of 2025 is a House bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 544.
Latest action on H.R. 6373: Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 544.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects companies building or expanding major chip plants, semiconductor equipment plants, and critical mineral facilities. It also affects state air-permit offices, which would have to offer more permit options for these projects. Communities near these facilities could see changes in how added pollution gets balanced or reduced.
Why this matters: The bill could make it easier to build some projects that support U.S. technology and defense supply chains. It does this by changing how those projects handle added air pollution. That matters most in areas that already have unhealthy air under federal standards. The real effect would depend on how often the President uses the waiver and how states spend fee money or approve other pollution cuts.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
