Limits how courts can challenge federal approvals for liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects by requiring courts to remand flawed environmental reviews to agencies instead of vacating permits, and by sending all legal challenges to the federal Court of Appeals for the circuit where the facility is or will be located. It also forces expedited treatment of those appeals, sets a 90-day filing deadline tied to the Federal Register notice, and defines key terms used for covered applications and facilities. The result is more regulatory continuity for LNG projects (permits stay in effect while agencies correct review problems) and a faster, narrowly routed judicial process for litigants, with trade-offs for environmental challengers and potential impacts on affected communities and agencies responsible for reviews.
