49 U.S.C. § 60101 — Definitions

Page 1733 TITLE 49—TRANSPORTATION § 60101 on the Gulf Coast. Moving forward on a pipeline from Cushing to Port Arthur, Texas, could create jobs, pro- mote American energy production, and ultimately ben- efit consumers. Although expanding and modernizing our Nation’s pipeline infrastructure will not lower prices right away, it is a vital part of a sustained strategy to con- tinue to reduce our reliance on foreign oil and enhance our Nation’s energy security. Therefore, as part of my Administration’s broader efforts to improve the per- formance of Federal permitting and review processes, we must make pipeline infrastructure a priority, ensur- ing the health, safety, and security of communities and the environment while supporting projects that can contribute to economic growth and a secure energy fu- ture. In doing so, the Federal Government must work in partnership with State, local, and tribal govern- ments, which play a central role in the siting and per- mitting of pipelines; and, we must protect our natural resources and address the concerns of local commu- nities. SECTION 1. Expedited Review of Pipeline Projects from Cushing to Port Arthur and Other Domestic Pipeline Infra- structure Projects. (a) To address the existing bottleneck in Cushing, as well as other current or anticipated bot- tlenecks, agencies shall, to the maximum extent prac- ticable and consistent with available resources and ap- plicable laws (including those relating to public safety, public health, and environmental protection), coordi- nate and expedite their reviews, consultations, and other processes as necessary to expedite decisions re- lated to domestic pipeline infrastructure projects that would contribute to a more efficient domestic pipeline system for the transportation
