H.R. 3668: Improving Interagency Coordination for Pipeline Reviews Act
Sponsor
Richard Hudson
Republican · NC-9
What H.R. 3668 does
H.R. 3668 would speed up environmental reviews of certain natural gas pipelines and liquefied natural gas import or export terminals. It would make the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission the only lead agency for the review under the National Environmental Policy Act, so other agencies would have to defer to FERC's scope, and it would bar FERC from setting a deadline for authorizing a project more than 90 days after that review is done. It would also require agencies to review projects at the same time rather than in sequence.
Applicants would not need a state water quality certification under the Clean Water Act, though FERC would coordinate its review with states where a discharge into navigable waters may occur. FERC would also have to invite other federal, state, local and tribal agencies to take part and consult with the Transportation Security Administration on pipeline security.
