“What is this? A ploy?”
This is a routine step in the construction process. Actually, it is a kind of super-express step - just a few weeks, while other tasks are running concurrently.
Unlike the routine construction process however, the Secretary of Homeland Security can and does waive the really time consuming reviews that can often drag on for years (like in the case of the Keystone XL pipeline). Things like environmental impact statements, endangered species, and literally dozens of other potential long delays. That ability to waive all those delays has already been challenged and upheld in court.
So this comment period just makes an opening for really valid comments/concerns - not for the kind of lawfare delaying attacks that the Left is famous for.
Thanks for the updates.
Much appreciated.
