Now, turning to the legislation before us, I'd like to highlight one bill that deserves the committee's support. The License to Drill act reauthorizes the Bureau of Land Management's authority to collect fees for new applications for permit to drill.

Reauthorizing this authority gives the agency the certainty and resources it needs to process permits on time without imposing additional costs on taxpayers. (02:23–02:32)
