“PHMSA is pleased to work with FERC to advance critical infrastructure projects that support our nation’s growing energy dominance in the safest and most efficient way possible,” said PHMSA Administrator Skip Elliott.
The MOU will clarify each agency’s respective role in the permitting process for potential LNG projects, and implement procedures into the FERC’s authorisation process that will leverage PHMSA’s safety expertise to evaluate potential impact to public safety.
The forthcoming MOU was announced by FERC Chairman Kevin McIntyre during opening remarks for the 19 July Commission meeting at FERC headquarters.
