Bill overview
The JOAN Act aims to improve coordination among federal agencies involved in reviewing authorizations for natural gas infrastructure projects. Specifically, it designates the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) as the lead agency for environmental reviews, requiring agencies to coordinate early and defer to FERC’s findings. The bill also establishes a streamlined process for identifying participating agencies and expediting the review process, while addressing water quality concerns and limiting judicial review to a specific consolidated record. Finally, it introduces a ‘sole and exclusive’ legal remedy for challenges to these authorizations, aiming to accelerate project approvals.
