AI Summary

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has decided to discontinue conducting cumulative impact analyses in environmental reviews of projects. This change was announced in an order approving the Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage Project. The decision to no longer complete cumulative impact analyses means that FERC will not consider the combined effects of multiple projects on the environment during its reviews. This shift in policy may have implications for the assessment of potential environmental consequences of projects. The significance of this change is unclear without further information on how FERC will adapt its review process to account for the potential cumulative impacts of projects.
