Overview

This bill aims to streamline the environmental review process for natural gas pipelines and LNG terminals by designating the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) as the lead coordinating agency. It requires agencies to defer to FERC’s scope for NEPA reviews, establishes deadlines for authorizations, and promotes coordination among federal, state, local, and tribal governments. The bill also reduces the need for water quality certifications from states and emphasizes the importance of timely decision-making and transparency throughout the authorization process.
