Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council(FPISC)

Shared services, digital records, open data, risk-based case triage, and clearer public dashboards, scaled to the agency's size.

For small institutions, burden often falls on applicants, grantees, regulated parties, or other agencies trying to understand where to go. Plain-language guidance and shared intake usually matter more than headcount cuts.

Check whether overlap is harmful duplication, a needed independence check, or a coordination problem created by separate statutes.

Do not cut the tiny operating core of a specialized agency before proving a function is obsolete or duplicative.

Before proposing cuts, require a public-value review of Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (FPISC): what work is unique, what can move to shared services, which outputs should be public, and which independence safeguards must remain.
