Expedited approval of interstate oil and natural gas pipelines critical to national security.

The National Security Interstate Pipeline Act aims to expedite the approval of interstate oil and natural gas pipelines deemed critical to national security. The bill designates certain pipelines as "covered pipeline projects," granting the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission exclusive authority to approve or deny applications for their siting, construction, expansion, or operation. Federal agencies are mandated to complete required actions within 180 days, and state, local, or tribal agencies within 60 days, or their inaction is deemed approval.
