House Panel Advances Bill to Remove DOE From LNG Export Approval Process

The House Energy and Commerce Committee voted 26-23 June 25 to approve a bill that would eliminate a requirement that the Energy Department authorize liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, leaving the independent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as the sole authority for the approval process (see 2503070048). The Unlocking Our Domestic LNG Potential Act now heads to the full House.
