WASHINGTON, Feb 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers on Thursday said it is revising a list of more than

600 energy and other infrastructure projects it had earmarked to

be fast-tracked under President Donald Trump's declaration of a

national energy emergency.

The Army Corps, a federal engineering service with

permitting authority over projects involving wetlands and

waterways, posted the list of priority projects requiring faster

environmental approval review last week, without public notice.

That move followed an energy emergency executive order that

Trump signed on January 20.

But the agency on Thursday said it will remove the list from

its website database until it determines which projects meet the

criteria laid out in Trump's executive order.

The list's removal is the latest example of the Trump

administration having to backtrack on a hastily-executed action.

"The USACE is in the process of reviewing active permit

applications relative to the Executive Order," Army Corps

spokesperson Doug Garman said. "The data field will be added

back once we refine which permit actions may be covered by the

EO."

The list included numerous high-profile fossil fuel

projects, such as Enbridge's ( ENB ) Line 5 oil pipeline under

Lake Michigan, several natural gas power plants, and liquefied

natural gas export terminals proposed by Cheniere and

Venture Global ( VG ).

But it also included projects that had already been

cancelled or completed, and dozens of renewable energy projects,

which were not included in the national energy emergency order.

Other federal agencies have also had to backtrack in recent

days.

Reuters last week reported that 325 workers were sent notice

they had been laid off from the National Nuclear Security

Administration, which works around the world to secure dangerous

nuclear materials. Later that day, an uncertain number of those

layoffs were rescinded, causing chaos in NNSA offices.

Similarly, the U.S. Department of Agriculture had to rehire

employees who had been working on the government's bird flu

response, after firing them a few days earlier.
