The White House is planning to roll out an executive order next week that aims to cut regulations, spur interstate pipeline construction and lower energy costs, according to two senior administration officials.
According to four current and former administration officials, the order directs the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency to clarify Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, the law that gives states authority over permits where water quality is concerned. But officials vow the administration's broader goal is to lower energy prices by accelerating the transport of natural gas and to reaffirm US energy"dominance," a word that appeared multiple times in an early draft of the order.Dennis Xander, chief executive of West Virginia-based Denex Petroleum, said the state is at risk of a glut if it can't ship more gas to New England or the Gulf states.
