From the transcript
If that agency does not produce a timetable, as you referenced for those two solar projects, I will note that again, our geothermal project and a number of transmission projects and energy storage—. You acknowledge that we've blown past the 60 days. We, when we pass the 60 days, our requirement under the statute is to report that project in nonconformance to Congress, which is what we have done. So we are in compliance with the FAST-41 statute. I don't actually have the ability to force an agency to give me a timetable.
