H.R. 3668 · Energy
Improving Interagency Coordination for Pipeline Reviews Act
Introduced Jun 2, 2025 · Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
What does this mean?

If you build or apply for approval on a natural gas pipeline or an LNG terminal (a facility that ships or receives liquefied natural gas), this changes how the government reviews your project's environmental impact. Instead of multiple federal agencies each running their own separate environmental checks, one agency—the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which oversees energy projects like pipelines—takes charge and sets the rules everyone else has to follow, and it must wrap up its final approval within 90 days after that environmental review is done. It also removes a step where states could require their own water-quality sign-off before construction, though FERC still has to coordinate with states about any water pollution risks, and agencies must accept data collected by drones or other remote sensing tools when reviewing applications. In short, the process is designed to move faster and go through fewer separate gatekeepers.
