Click here to view the Wolf (Hinchey, Davis, Grijalva, Arcuri and Hall) Bill H.R. 829.
This bill would REPEAL the section of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 which authorizes the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to designate National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors (NIETC) and /or grant permits for projects in those corridors. This section of the EPAct 2005 also permits companies to use federal eminent domain power. Under this legislation NYRI would be confined to the state procedures for approving electric transmission projects.
Click here to view the Hinchey (Hall and Arcuri) Bill H.R. 810.
This legislation would MODIFY the section of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 which authorizes companies permitted to build or modify transmission lines within a NIETC to use federal eminent domain power. The bill amends this section so companies are directed to follow state law. Because of the revisions of the state eminent domain law signed by Pataki, NYRI would be unable to use any eminent domain power.
