Plain-language change summary

The amendment clarifies the language related to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's procedures regarding project construction timelines. It specifies that the time period for a licensee to commence construction can be extended for up to three consecutive two-year periods. This change means that licensees could have additional time to start construction on projects, potentially aiding project planning and execution.
