AG ​Bonta filed a comment letter opposing the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)’s consideration of Sable Offshore Corp. (Sable)’s request for a special permit to waive a safety regulation and transport oil through Lines CA-324 and CA-325 in Santa Barbara and Kern counties

“Let’s be clear: we do not have a ‘National Energy Emergency.’ President Trump is simply prioritizing the fossil fuel industry, ensuring that they can continue to line their own pockets by illegally restarting oil transportation through California’s pipelines at the expense of our public health and environment. We are making it crystal clear once again that these pipelines fall under California’s jurisdiction, and the federal government cannot illegally help Sable evade state regulation and federal safety requirements by granting this permit.” – AG Bonta
