  KEYT^[3] (NewsChannel 3-12, the established Santa Barbara ABC/NBC affiliate) reports environmental groups' 24 December petition to the Ninth Circuit seeking to halt "the emergency special permit" PHMSA issued that week for Lines CA-324 and CA-325 and quotes PHMSA's decision language, but it dates the permit only as "this week" rather than 23 December, so it corroborates the event within a window.

  Federal regulator approves Sable Offshore's plans to restart oil production in Santa Barbara County | News Channel 3-12

  KEYT^[2] reports that, per Sable's 8-K, PHMSA told the company it had approved its restart plans for Line CA-324 and Line CA-325 on Dec. 22 — the same federal approval sequence, but the page gives a date one day before the 23 December special permit and describes the restart-plan approval rather than the permit itself, which caps the confidence.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
