Certainty in Litigation for Electric Asset Reliability (CLEAR) Act of 2026
The Certainty in Litigation for Electric Asset Reliability (CLEAR) Act of 2026 amends the Federal Power Act to streamline the permitting process for new electric transmission facilities. It designates the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as the lead agency for coordinating federal authorizations and requires agencies to consolidate their review records into a single joint decision document. Additionally, the bill standardizes legal challenges by allowing parties to seek rehearing or judicial review of these approvals only through the procedures established in Section 313 of the Federal Power Act.
