Why use INPCT?

INPCT provides a singular platform to manage the development of environmental documents and facilitate real-time collaboration and interagency reviews.

INPCT supports a streamlined and transparent process to improve communication and shorten project delivery timelines by:

• Centralizing document management into one system for sharing, tracking, editing and commenting on documents.
• Enabling concurrent agency reviews in a single location
• Allowing for schedule and milestone tracking that is easily shared across agencies
• Supporting customized project workflows, including a One Federal Decision (OFD) workflow for major infrastructure projects
• Facilitating permit application development
• Supporting management of mitigation commitments
• Increasing transparency across project teams
• Building a stronger project record
• Allowing for easy data exchange with the Project and Program Action Information System (PAPAI) and the Federal Permitting Dashboard
