In developing the permitting systems required under section 2 of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior shall ensure that the Department’s electronic permitting systems are consistent with the priorities identified in section 110 of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4336d) with respect to any permit that requires review under that Act.
