Summary
This bill amends the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to streamline federal permitting for geothermal exploration projects on federal lands. It defines qualifying geothermal exploration projects (small-scale exploratory drilling with limited surface disturbance completed within 180 days) and exempts them from major federal action review under the National Environmental Policy Act, requiring only 30 days' advance notice to the Secretary. The bill codifies categorical exclusions previously adopted by the Bureau of Land Management to expedite geothermal exploration approvals.
