H.R. 10302
Centralizes federal review of power transmission permits
Changes how federal agencies coordinate permits for building new electric transmission lines, putting one agency in charge and combining decisions into a single record.
- The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission would act as lead agency for certain transmission permits
- Agency actions on these permits must be published in the Federal Register
- Records and permit decisions would be combined into one joint record of decision
- Challenges to permit approvals would go through the same review process used for commission orders
