What this amendment would do

This amendment would change rules related to rights-of-way by altering how certain property and legal standards are applied under the Federal Power Act.

It removes a reference to a State from the first paragraph and updates the required standards in the third paragraph to match rule 71.1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Additionally, the amendment adds a new provision stating that any proceeding under this subsection must follow all applicable landowner protections provided by the State where the affected property is located.

It specifies that nothing in the section overrides or affects any substantive or procedural right, requirement, or protection available to an affected landowner under State law before, during, or after the proceeding.
