Insert a new subsection to read:
"(c) For the appropriations made in (a) and (b)
of this section, it is the intent of the legislature
that
(1) the funds be used solely to plan,
coordinate, and facilitate construction, ownership, and
management of a natural gas pipeline serving Fairbanks,
the Southcentral region of the state, and other
communities wherever practicable, connecting with or
enhancing the existing gas pipeline system, and
reaching to tidewater;
(2) the funds be used for a full alternative
analysis of possible routes;
(3) an economically feasible in-state
pipeline and any connecting lines serve industrial,
residential, and utility customers along the entire
route, including any other regions of the state that
could be served at commercially feasible rates;
(4) the Office of the Governor use the
appropriations to
(A) coordinate with entities that could
build, own, and operate the line;
(B) assist with preparing cost
estimates for the project to determine its
economic feasibility and cost to consumers;
(C) apply for and obtain right-of-way
permits for the project route, with the intent
that the state would transfer the permits to, and
receive compensation for the permits from, the
entity best able to complete the project;
(D) work with other entities to promote
the gas supply and gas purchase contracts that
would be required for the project to be
commercially viable;
(5) the coordination effort by the Office of
the Governor use, to the fullest extent possible, any
and all existing work by other state agencies before
contracting for new reports, research, and analyses,
and that the coordination effort by the Office of the
Governor not expand beyond the scope of coordinating
interests to build, own, and operate the gas line;
(6) the Office of the Governor submit
written monthly reports to the president of the senate,
the speaker of the house of representatives, and all
legislators, listing all current and future contracts
executed for development of an in-state natural gas
pipeline and specifying the scope of work and contract
amount, a cumulative total monthly of all funds spent
for development of an in-state natural gas pipeline,
reporting progress to date on the project work plan,
and presenting a work plan for each subsequent month."
