Permitting 101: what a federal permit is and who issues it.

"Permit" is shorthand for a wide family of federal decisions. Different agencies issue different ones. A few examples:

Water and wetlands: the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers evaluates permit applications for essentially all construction activities in the nation's waters, including wetlands.

Public land: building on public land needs a right-of-way from the Bureau of Land Management for projects such as power lines, pipelines, and wind or solar sites.

Interstate gas pipelines: the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission reviews applications to build and operate them under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
