•    "For far too long, energy developers have faced an outdated and unpredictable permitting process that has delayed and even canceled critical infrastructure projects, costing taxpayers millions of dollars and weakening American energy security. Right now, if you want to build a pipeline or transmission line between the U.S. and Canada or the U.S. and Mexico, you are stuck navigating a patchwork of executive orders, undefined agency processes, and shifting political winds. That is no way to build long-term energy infrastructure and increase revenue." Source: Rep. Julie Fedorchak (Republican, North Dakota)

We believe that a statutorily directed, FERC-led authorization process, as proposed in the legislation, will create a more uniform, transparent review process. Importantly, the legislation recognizes that cross-border infrastructure is vital to the U.S. economy, energy security, and trade relationships, and presumes that such projects are in the public interest of the United States."
