Nebraska Representatives Adrian Smith and Lee Terry seem all too eager to sidestep the final process in TransCanada’s quest to receive a presidential permit from President Obama. Smith and Terry must not understand that a 90-day period for other federal agencies to weigh in is required for the permitting process. Agencies like the Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Environmental Protection Agency, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Farm Service and Rural Utilities Service Agencies. Others like Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Energy, Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and Office of Pipeline Safety must all weigh in. Smith and Terry must not be concerned about their input.—Greg Awtry, York News-Times
