Looks like the BP/CP consortium is attempting an end-run on the Alaska legislature.

They appear to be going the Federal Certification (USDOT approval) route where TransCan played by the rules set-up by Alaska.

Pass the popcorn, this looks like fun!

Well, good luck to them. That sounds like an effective way to see to it that the whole thing is tied up in courts for a long time.

Alaska politicians, being likely the same sorts of a&&holes as in other states, will almost certainly sue to block it, dontchathink?
