AI Summary
This bill, titled the Keystone For a Secure Tomorrow Act, approves a specific permit for the Keystone XL pipeline project, which involves energy facilities and crossings on the U.S. international border. Key provisions include requiring a reconsideration of the pipeline's route within Nebraska, allowing for a review period to potentially alter that route and related plans, and mandating the President to coordinate this review with Nebraska, provide necessary data and assistance, and ultimately approve the route submitted by the Nebraska governor. If the President fails to approve the governor's submitted route within 10 days, it will be automatically approved by law.
