facility. In establishing the schedule, the Commission 
shall—
(A) ensure expeditious completion of all 
such proceedings; and 
(B) accommodate the applicable schedules 
established by Federal law for such proceedings. 
(2) FAILURE TO MEET SCHEDULE.—If a Fed-
eral or State administrative agency or official does 
not complete a proceeding for an approval that is re-
quired for a Federal pipeline authorization in ac-
cordance with the schedule established by the Com-
mission under this subsection, the applicant may 
pursue remedies under subsection (e). 
(d) CONSOLIDATED
RECORD.—The Commission 
shall, with the cooperation of Federal and State adminis-
trative agencies and officials, maintain a complete consoli-
dated record of all decisions made or actions taken by the 
Commission or by a Federal administrative agency or offi-
cer (or State administrative agency or officer acting under 
delegated Federal authority) with respect to any Federal 
pipeline authorization. Such record shall be the record for 
judicial review under subsection (e) of decisions made or 
actions taken by Federal and State administrative agen-
cies and officials, except that, if the Court determines that 
the record does not contain sufficient information, the
Court may remand the proceeding to the Commission for 
further development of the consolidated record. 
(e) JUDICIAL REVIEW.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—The United States Court of 
Appeals for the District of Columbia shall have 
original and exclusive jurisdiction over any civil ac-
tion for the review of—
(A) an order or action related to a Federal 
pipeline authorization by a Federal or State ad-
ministrative agency or official; and 
(B) an alleged failure to act by a Federal 
or State administrative agency or official acting 
pursuant to a Federal pipeline authorization. 
The failure of an agency or official to act on a Fed-
eral pipeline authorization in accordance with the 
Commission’s schedule established pursuant to sub-
section (c) shall be considered inconsistent with Fed-
eral law for the purposes of paragraph (2) of this 
subsection. 
(2) COURT ACTION.—If the Court finds that an 
order or action described in paragraph (1)(A) is in-
consistent with the Federal law governing such Fed-
eral pipeline authorization, or that a failure to act 
as described in paragraph (1)(B) has occurred, and 
the order, action, or failure to act would prevent the
siting of the crude oil or refined petroleum product 
pipeline facility, the Court shall remand the pro-
ceeding to the agency or official to take appropriate 
action consistent with the order of the Court. If the 
Court remands the order, action, or failure to act to 
the Federal or State administrative agency or offi-
cial, the Court shall set a reasonable schedule and 
deadline for the agency or official to act on remand. 
(3) COMMISSION’S ACTION.—For any civil ac-
tion brought under this subsection, the Commission 
shall promptly file with the Court the consolidated 
record compiled by the Commission pursuant to sub-
section (d). 
(4) EXPEDITED REVIEW.—The Court shall set 
any civil action brought under this subsection for ex-
pedited consideration. 
(5) ATTORNEY’S
FEES.—In any action chal-
lenging a Federal pipeline authorization that has 
been granted, reasonable attorney’s fees and other 
expenses of litigation shall be awarded to the pre-
vailing party. This paragraph shall not apply to any 
action seeking remedies for denial of a Federal pipe-
line authorization or failure to act on an application 
for a Federal pipeline authorization.
