NEWARK, N.J., Oct. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) today said it welcomed the addition of the Susquehanna-Roseland electric reliability project to the initial list of projects for a new federal Rapid Response Team for Transmission, aimed at coordinating and expediting the federal permitting process for critical infrastructure upgrades. The Susquehanna-Roseland power line is one of seven projects eligible for this joint initiative by the White House Council on Environmental Quality, the U.S. Department of the Interior, the U.S. Department of Energy and a number of other agencies.
"It's clear the Administration recognizes the importance of this transmission system upgrade that will maintain electric reliability for millions of people in our region," said Ralph LaRossa, president of PSE&G. "Since this project was announced, we have been working closely with state and federal agencies such as the National Park Service to ensure a timely review and approval of permits that are needed before work can begin. We fully understand and support a thorough assessment. At the same time, utilities need the ability to make these critical system upgrades in a timely manner. The Rapid Response Team is a welcome addition to the federal permitting process."See the full content of this document
