The Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council has added the Black Bear Natural Gas Development Project to FAST-41 coverage. This natural gas production and pipeline project will play a key role in the Trump administration’s goal of unleashing the nation’s abundant energy resources.
“I am thrilled to welcome the Black Bear Natural Gas Development Project to FAST-41 coverage,” said Emily Domenech, Permitting Council executive director.
“In the previous administration, the oil and gas industry struggled with a burdensome federal permitting process that held back domestic production. Under the Trump administration we are using every tool to responsibly increase production and strengthen our energy security. I am excited to see FAST-41 provide a transparent and predictable permitting process for this critical project,” added Domenech.
“The need for responsibly sourced energy to support the country’s rapidly expanding infrastructure project growth is overwhelming, and we believe the FAST-41 permitting process provides the most efficient method for transparent and environmentally responsible regulatory review,” said Chelsea Budowsky, senior vice president Land of Revenant Energy.
Located in Angelina National Forest in San Augustine County, Texas, the Black Bear Natural Gas Development Project proposal includes up to four gas well pads, access roads to the well pads, a main trunk pipeline for the transportation of natural gas and gathering pipelines connecting the well pads. Each well pad will have up to eight proposed wells (total of 32 wells) that will be horizontally drilled into both private and U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) managed minerals with the intent of producing primarily natural gas.
The project is sponsored by Revenant Energy Operating. The U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service will lead federal permitting.

The Permitting Council coordinates federal environmental reviews and authorizations for projects that seek and qualify for FAST-41 coverage. FAST-41 covered projects are entitled to comprehensive permitting timetables and transparent, collaborative management of those timetables on the Federal Permitting Dashboard. FAST-41 covered projects may be in the energy production, electricity transmission, energy storage, surface transportation, aviation, ports and waterways, water resource, broadband, pipelines, manufacturing, mining, carbon capture, semiconductors, artificial intelligence and machine learning, high-performance computing and advanced computer hardware and software, quantum information science and technology, data storage and data management, and cybersecurity sectors.
