Natural Gas Pipeline Projects Gain Last-Minute Approvals by FERC

SUGAR LAND--February 7, 2017--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--As pipeline developers counted down the days to when Norman Bay would resign from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), a few natural gas pipelines developers managed to squeeze in regulatory approvals at the eleventh hour. Bay resigned from FERC on Friday after being replaced as chairman of the commission by President Trump. Trump appointed Cheryl LaFleur as Acting Chairman of FERC, prompting Bay to resign from the commission and leaving it with only two acting commissioners--not enough to make the quorum required to approve future projects.
