Podcast | Advocacy Update: Faster Permitting, Practical Air Rules and Industry Innovation

In this episode of The Midstream News Podcast, GPA Midstream Vice President, Federal Affairs Stuart Saulters joins Kevin Broom to discuss major legislative and regulatory actions from the nation’s policymakers that will affect the midstream industry. The conversation includes: • Analysis of the bipartisan Senate permitting reform bill that could accelerate environmental reviews, put sensible limits on litigation, and give infrastructure developers greater permitting certainty. • GPA Midstream’s work with OMB and EPA to secure practical, cost-effective and legally durable Clean Air Act Quad O regulations. • Highlighting the scalable emissions-reduction technologies recognized through the Environmental Excellence Awards, which were presented at the 2026 GPA Midstream Convention.
