OSTI ID:5458463

Hearings on H.R. 1010, extending federal eminent-domain authority to slurry pipelines, allowed witnesses to give an update as the proposal continues its second decade of debate. Witnesses from the coal industry, labor, the railroad industry, and groups representing farm, environmental, and consumer interests spoke as individuals and in panels to assess the relative impacts of the legislation. The bill's intent is to provide a supplement and not a replacement for rail transport as the nation increases its use of coal. (DCK)
