New York extends moratorium on environmental safety certificates for liquefied natural gas facilities and routes.

New York amends chapter 395 of the laws of 1978 to extend the moratorium on the issuance of certificates of environmental safety for siting liquefied natural gas facilities and certifying transportation routes. The moratorium, originally set to expire on April 1, 1999, is now extended until April 1, 2027, for cities with a population of one million or more. This extension aims to allow more time for environmental assessments and public safety considerations.
