Summary
The bill requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to lead all NEPA reviews for natural‑gas pipeline authorizations and to work early with any federal, state, local or tribal agency that may have a role. It sets clear deadlines for identifying, inviting, and designating these “participating agencies,” and lets those agencies suggest conditions, especially on water‑quality issues. The goal is to speed up approvals while still protecting the environment.
