Review Agencies
Any proposed LNG facility in the United States is required to undergo a comprehensive
and rigorous review by several federal, state and local agencies before construction
and operations are allowed to begin.
Although the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) has primary jurisdiction over the siting, construction and operation of LNG
facilities, several other federal, state and local agencies play a significant role
in the review process.
