API Midstream and Industry Operations Group Director, Robin Roric, said: “This is an important step in strengthening our nation’s energy infrastructure and creating US jobs across the country […] Creating certainty and improving efficiency in the permitting process for natural gas pipelines will ensure that consumers continue benefitting from affordable, reliable, clean-burning natural gas.

“We urge the Senate to approve this legislation so that American workers, consumers, and the environment can continue to benefit from our nation’s abundant supply of natural gas.”
