The House Energy and Commerce Committee held a lengthy markup session Wednesday, debating a series of proposed amendments for eight energy bills. Under consideration are revisions to HR 2883, which could establish a predictable and transparent process to permit construction of cross-border pipelines and electric facilities. HR 2910 would promote better coordination among the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and other agencies involved in siting interstate natural gas pipelines. There also are bills regarding ozone standards, the Federal Power Act, the Environmental Protection Agency’s brownfields program, hydropower, energy emergency planning, and nuclear waste storage at Yucca Mountain, NV.
