C. What exactly does FERC do when it receives natural gas and hydropower project proposals? |
| A: |
FERC makes a decision on whether these proposed projects are in the public interest and then decides on whether to issue a certificate or license for a natural gas or hydropower project respectively. FERC routinely includes conditions in all licenses and certificates to ensure public safety and to protect the environment.
FERC performs economic and environmental analyses of all proposed projects before it makes a decision about the projects. FERC staff consults with numerous federal and state agencies and the public. Public meetings and site visits are held in the project vicinity.
