The Jurisdictional Oversight and Adjudication for Natural Gas Act, known as the JOAN Act, aims to enhance coordination among federal and state agencies in the approval process for natural gas infrastructure. By streamlining authorizations, the legislation seeks to make the review process more efficient and timely. A central feature of the JOAN Act is the designation of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) as the lead agency for environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for natural gas projects.
