Aerial Infrastructure Route Survey Act of 2015, or the AIR Survey Act of 2015

This bill amends the Natural Gas Act to accept data collected by aerial survey in lieu of ground survey data for the purposes of completing:

  • any prefiling process established to facilitate the formal application process for obtaining a certificate of public convenience and necessity for a natural gas transportation facility, or
  • an application associated with a federal authorization concerning a certificate application.

An agency that accepts an aerial survey may, nevertheless, require as a condition of approval of an application associated with a federal authorization that the aerial survey data be verified through the use of ground survey data before the construction or extension of the pertinent facility.
