U.S. FERC proposes reforms to fast-track natural gas infrastructure permitting
5/22/2026
THE U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has proposed sweeping reforms to its blanket permitting process for natural gas facilities, under which companies may construct certain facilities without case-specific authorization from the Commission
- These reforms will further streamline the permitting process and speed up construction of infrastructure on which Americans rely for affordable and reliable energy.
- The proposed reforms empower companies to build much needed critical infrastructure without the delay of case-by-case approvals
- Extended the deadline for projects using temporary regulatory waivers on cost limits to May 31, 2028, one year beyond the previous May 31, 2027, cutoff
- This extension provides regulatory certainty to the industry as the Commission finalizes its permanent policy
