Plain-English summary
(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary of that version is repeated here.)
Regulatory Certainty Act of 2014 - Amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act) to limit the period during which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) may prohibit the specification, or restrict the use, of an area as a disposal site for discharges of dredged or fill materials into waters of the United States to the period that:
- begins on the date that the Army Corps of Engineers provides notice to the EPA that the Corps has completed all procedures for processing an application for a permit for dredged or fill material and is ready to determine whether the permit should be issued; and
- ends on the date that the Corps issues the permit.
Requires the Corps to ensure that the period consists of at least 30 consecutive days.
Authorizes the Corps to issue a permit for dredged or fill material only after the Corps provides notice to the EPA.
