Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act
- Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act
The Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act is a United States federal law signed by Richard Nixon on November 16, 1973 that authorized the building an oil pipeline connecting the North Slope of Alaska to Port Valdez. Specifically, it halted all legal challenges - filed primarily by environmental activists - against the construction of the pipeline.
The act is found in title 43, section 1651 of the United States Code (usc|43|1651). Eventually, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System was built as a result of this act.
