AuthorityConstruction Permit

• FERC can authorize construction of transmission
  facilities in a corridor if
• A state has no authority to either site
  facilities or consider interstate benefits, or
• A state, with authority to site, either does not
  act within 1 year or conditions approval such
  that there is either no reduction in congestion
  or is not economically feasible
