Limits court challenges to liquefied natural gas export approvals by keeping permits in place during litigation, sending environmental-review violations back to agencies to fix instead of vacating permits, and routing appeals to one appeals court on an expedited schedule.

• Provides that a lawsuit over the environmental review of a liquefied natural gas facility does not affect the validity of that facility's permit, license, or approval.
• Directs courts that find a Natural Gas Act or NEPA violation to remand the matter to the federal agency rather than set aside or vacate the permit, and requires agencies to keep processing related export and siting applications.
• Gives the federal court of appeals for the circuit where the facility is or will be located exclusive jurisdiction over review of agency orders, requires expedited review, and bars claims filed more than 90 days after a Federal Register notice of final agency action.
