The House Rules Committee blocked an amendment to H.R. 3668 that would have exempted the Everglades from expedited pipeline reviews. The bill shifts oversight from state governments to FERC and eliminates the need for separate state water quality certifications.
Industry analysts noted the House's late December passage of the Improving Interagency Coordination for Pipeline Reviews Act as a key legislative effort to reduce permitting hurdles for infrastructure needed to meet rising natural gas demand from LNG exports and data centers.
