Overview

The Promoting Cross-border Energy Infrastructure Act establishes a new process for approving or revoking permits for energy infrastructure projects that cross international borders between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It requires a certificate of crossing from either the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) or the Department of Energy (DOE) before construction or operation can begin, with specific requirements for electric transmission facilities. The bill also modifies existing regulations and clarifies the process for importing and exporting natural gas to and from neighboring countries, while preventing the President from unilaterally revoking existing permits without Congressional approval.

Key provisions

Requires a ‘certificate of crossing’ from FERC or DOE for border-crossing energy infrastructure projects.
Establishes deadlines for issuing certificates and approving natural gas import/export applications.
Sets specific standards for electric transmission facilities to align with regional grid operators.
Limits the applicability of the bill to existing facilities operating as of the bill’s enactment.
Modifies the Natural Gas Act to streamline the approval process for natural gas imports and exports.
Repeals a provision of the Federal Power Act that required hearings before approving transmission facilities.
Prohibits the President from revoking existing Presidential permits for border-crossing energy infrastructure projects without Congressional approval.
Defines key terms related to border-crossing facilities and modifications.
