Voluntary Grazing Permit Retirement Act This bill authorizes the voluntary waiver of permits or leases for grazing on federal lands in the 16 western states (i.e., Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming) managed by the Department of Agriculture or the Department of the Interior. If a permit or lease is waived by a permittee or lessee with the intention of permanently ending livestock grazing, the appropriate department must accept and terminate, on a first-come, first-served basis, the permit or lease; refrain from issuing any new grazing permit or lease within the grazing allotment covered by the permit or lease; and ensure a permanent end to livestock grazing on the allotment covered by the permit or lease. If an allotment covered by a waiver is also covered by another permit or lease that is not waived, the department must reduce the level of commercial livestock grazing on the allotment to reflect the waiver. The departments must not accept more than (1) 100 grazing permits and leases per year, in the aggregate for all of the 16 western states; and (2) 25 grazing permits for land located in whole or in part in any individual state.

Opposed H.R. 5737 which would require federal land management agencies to permanently end livestock grazing on any allotments where the current permittee has accepted a payout in exchange for relinquishment of their term grazing permit. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Regulatory Modernization The industry needs more efficient, safe and reliable infrastructure and modernizing the NEPA review process will deliver those projects to communities across the country, not just for agriculture, but for every sector of the economy. It shouldnt take 7 years to approve a grazing permit or a highway project. We support regulation that makes sense, helps us protect our natural resources and doesnt stifle economic growth. Federal grazing permits last 10 years, but as soon as one is granted, ranchers often begin working preparing for the permit renewal years in advance due to the lengthy NEPA review process. Ranchers utilize forage on federal grazing allotments which provides numerous environmental benefits including wildland fire risk reduction, carbon sequestration, and habitat improvement for wildlife and endangered species. NEPA delays can risk the positive measures livestock grazing provides to our public lands that federal land management agencies could not do on its own. American farmers and ranchers need reliable and safe infrastructure to deliver their products to consumers in the U.S. and around the world and to get the supplies they need on the farm. Americas infrastructure is in decline, and it takes the federal government an average of 7 years to complete a NEPA review. Continuing to be the greatest economy in the world will require a more efficient review process. Modern infrastructure is key to remaining competitive - for agriculture and other industries. If we dont repair and upgrade it - America will fall behind. Renewable Energy Throughout rural America, windmills, biofuel facilities, and other renewable energy products are helping reduce our nations carbon footprint, but too many projects are threatened by an onerous and outdated NEPA review process. Modernizing NEPA will help speed up deployment of renewable energy projects, helping farmers and ranchers protect and care for the natural resources we all rely upon.
