Summary

Natural Gas Pipeline Permitting Reform Act - Amends the Natural Gas Act to direct the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to approve or deny a certificate of public convenience and necessity within 12 months after providing public notice of the permit application for a natural gas pipeline project. Requires the responsible agency issuing any federal license, permit, or approval regarding the siting, construction, expansion, or operation of a project for which a certificate is sought to approve or deny issuance of the certificate within 90 days after FERC issues its final environmental document regarding the project. Directs FERC to grant an agency request for a 30-day extension of the 90-day time period if the agency demonstrates necessity due to unforeseen circumstances beyond its control. States that any license, permit or approval shall go into effect if the responsible agency neither approves nor denies its issuance within that time period.
