The State has asked the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to set aside these three PHMSA orders:
- PHMSA order to assume exclusive jurisdiction over the Los Flores Canyon pipelines
- PHMSA order approving the restart plan for those pipelines
- PHMSA order issuance of an Emergency Special Permit to Sable Offshore
In light of the venue and the clear language in the 2015 Consent Decree regarding the California Fire Marshal’s jurisdiction, the State’s petition would seem to have a good chance of success.
