Promoting Interagency Coordination for Review of Natural Gas Pipelines Act
This bill makes the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) the sole lead agency for environmental reviews (NEPA) required for natural gas pipeline approvals. It requires other federal, state, and tribal agencies to coordinate with FERC early in the process, adhere to a strict 90-day deadline for decisions, and avoid duplicating environmental reviews. Pipeline developers benefit from a more predictable timeline, while the public gains access to online tracking of each agency's progress on permits. The bill also mandates FERC to consult with transportation security officials on pipeline safety measures during reviews.
