Reader Jennifer Thompson of the Alaska Gas Pipeline Federal Coordinator’s office writes,
"The Office of the Federal Coordinator today posted online its new, searchable permits matrix to help the public better understand the complexities, the data needs and schedules of the multiple federal approvals required for the Alaska North Slope natural gas pipeline.    The revised permits matrix is available at http://www.arcticgas.gov/permits-matrix."
