What Is the CITAP Portal?

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) developed the web-based CITAP portal to provide a streamlined Federal environmental review and permitting processes for qualifying transmission projects. This portal should be used to share information that will inform Federal permitting agencies’ authorization decisions and the final environmental review prepared by DOE.

The guidance in the CITAP portal informs project proponents of the information and documents they need to submit before the two-year environmental review timeline is initiated. This streamlining solution ensures that DOE can coordinate with other Federal agencies to deliver a timely completion of Federal permitting reviews and the development of a single environmental impact statement.
