Keystone XL Pipeline Saga Over ... For Now In late September and early October 2015, in what was perceived as a strategic move, TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, LP (TransCanada) made two major announcements. First, TransCanada announced the withdrawal of condemnation lawsuits the company had filed in Nebraska courts seeking access to property of unwilling landowners along the route of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. See News Release, TransCanada, "TransCanada Will Apply to Nebraska Public Service Commission to Approve Keystone XL Route" (Sept. 30, 2015). Second, on October 5, 2015, the company filed an application with the Nebraska Public Service Commission (PSC) under the Major Oil Pipeline Siting Act (MOPSA), Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 57-1401 to -1413, for the same pipeline route approved in 2013 by the Nebraska Governor.
