LNG Coordination Act of 2024

The LNG Coordination Act of 2024 establishes a federal Working Group to improve safety oversight coordination for LNG facilities (excluding peak shaving facilities). It requires the Transportation Secretary to convene a group including representatives from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Department of Energy, OSHA, and Coast Guard. The Working Group must evaluate each agency's regulatory authority over LNG facilities and negotiate agreements to eliminate duplicate regulations, resolve jurisdictional conflicts, and clarify safety oversight responsibilities. Agencies must finalize these agreements within two years, with a report to Congress detailing how they enhance safety coordination. This directly affects LNG facility operators and federal agencies responsible for regulating LNG infrastructure.
