Let FERC Know Timely Decisions Are Needed for Pipelines

Let FERC know you are in favor of revising their natural gas infrastructure review procedures to be more transparent, understandable and timely.

Natural gas has rapidly become the Untied State’s fuel of choice. It is really no surprise as it has become so abundant and affordable. Natural gas has taken over where coal left off for power-generation as it is more economical and cleaner for the environment.

Natural gas pipeline development is imperative for delivering this reliable energy to families and businesses. The approval process for interstate natural gas pipelines has been a tedious and long process through the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which has been operating under the same old regulation process for decades.

FERC has seen the changes in the energy market has realized it may be time to seek stakeholder perspectives on if/how to revise their permitting process for natural gas infrastructure projects. Our friends over at Williams have assembled an online action center and guide so you can easily show your support and submit your comments to FERC.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has issued a Notice of Inquiry seeking stakeholder input to help the Commission decide whether it should revise its approach to permitting natural gas infrastructure projects. During the public comment period, FERC is considering input about its approach, evaluation and methodology for reviewing the projects that make access to reliable, domestic and affordable energy possible.

Knowing of your support for the energy industry, I am reaching out to ask that you TAKE ACTION to assist FERC in its decision-making process. We have created a process on our Action Center that makes it very easy for you to support the energy projects that promote economic growth, American jobs and a healthier environment. Please take a minute to click the button below and add your name to a petition that will be sent to the FERC.

Please share this with your co-workers, family and friends who have a similar interest in keeping the natural gas industry strong and moving forward. If you would like to create a more unique comment or craft an email to your staff, membership or network promoting this action, please contact me. Our outreach team will be happy to assist you.
