Alaska Natural Gas Projects

President Barack Obama has nominated Larry Persily to become federal coordinator for Alaska Natural Gas Transportation Projects, a position charged with shepherding activities by federal agencies with respect to the per-mitting and construction of a pipeline to bring North Slope gas to markets. The nomination is subject to the approval of the U.S. Senate.

The position of Federal Coordinator was established during the Bush administration in the Fiscal Year 2005 Military Construction Appropriations Bill. The Office of the Federal Coordinator is an independent office within the executive branch that reports directly to the White House. Persily will fill a vacancy created by the resignation of current coordinator Drue Pearce, effective Jan. 3, 2010, who has served as the first Federal Coordinator since December 2006.
