Summary:

Provides background on activities undertaken by State Department to satisfy requirements of Executive Order (E.O.) 11423, as amended by E.O. 13337, to approve construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline Project via a Presidential Permit. Discusses issues regarding pipeline route through Nebraska, highlighting connection between State Department obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act and the executive order, which have led to permitting delays. Addresses Congressional response to Presidential permitting delay through Senate introduction of S. 2280, which would authorize TransCanada to construct, connect, operate, and maintain the pipeline and cross-border facilities described in the company's Presidential Permit application filed in May 2012
