How each member voted
The House roll call, passed the House, December 12, 2025
This bill centralizes federal environmental review of natural gas pipeline projects at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. For authorizations under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act and certificates under section 7, FERC acts as the only lead agency for review under the National Environmental Policy Act, and every other agency must give maximum deference to the scope FERC sets. FERC must identify agencies with a role within 30 days, invite them within 45 days, and designate participating agencies within 60 days; agencies that are not designated cannot run a supplemental NEPA review (outside a narrow legal-necessity exception) and their comments are neither considered nor entered into the record. The bill waives the Clean Water Act section 401 state water-quality certification for these authorizations, though a state may propose water-quality conditions that FERC may adopt if it finds them necessary. Federal authorization decisions are due within 90 days after FERC finishes its NEPA review, agencies must work on concurrent schedules and report progress, and FERC must consult the Transportation Security Administration on the applicant's pipeline security.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 17 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 71 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm and by 15 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: CMS Energy Corp; American Gas Association; Centerpoint Energy; Independent Petroleum Association of America; Chamber of Commerce of the U.S.A. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 12 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
