Key points
Standardizing permitting rules for infrastructure projects, such as pipelines, to speed up their implementation.
States and Indian Tribes will only be able to deny project approvals based on direct water quality impacts, not for other reasons like greenhouse gas emissions.
The goal is to ensure stable energy supplies and lower prices by facilitating the transport of natural gas and other resources.
