In 2018, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) published a list of critical minerals, including uranium, in response to an executive order that called for a federal strategy to ensure secure and reliable supplies of critical minerals. The USGS updates the list every three years and includes certain minerals that are essential to economic or national security and have a supply chain vulnerable to disruption. In 2022, USGS removed uranium from the list. The bill reinstates uranium as a critical mineral and requires uranium to be treated&nbsp;as if it were included on that list at the time of publication.</p>","updateDate":"2026-01-16T16:05:30Z"},"markets":[],"stateBills":[],"meta":{"sources":["congress.gov"],"latencyMs":477,"ts":"2026-04-15T19:36:13.498Z"},"nextActions":{"inspect":[],"related":[{"description":"Search related legislation","method":"GET","url":"/api/public/query-gov?q=Uranium%20for%20Energy%20Independence%20Act%20of%202025"}]}}
