GOVERNMENT

摘要

Based on two hearings, it appears House GOP members are focused on providing the pipeline industry with regulatory relief as part of any upcoming infrastructure bill. One House committee held hearings in May on a discussion draft of legislation containing changes to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) Section 7 pipeline approval process. The other committee heard testimony from industry leaders on needed changes to the pipeline safety laws administered by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA).
