On January 29, 2015, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee held another in a series of hearings on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. The hearing considered legislation by Sens. John Barrasso (R-WY) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM), called S. 33, the LNG Permitting Certainty and Transparency Act. The bill is intended to shorten the Department of Energy process once the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has completed its review.
