AI Summary

This bill establishes a more uniform, transparent, and modern process to authorize the construction, connection, operation, and maintenance of international border-crossing facilities for the import and export of oil and natural gas, and the transmission of electricity. It requires a certificate of crossing to be issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for oil and natural gas pipelines, or the Secretary of Energy for electric transmission facilities, unless the relevant official or agency finds the project is not in the public interest. The bill also streamlines the process for natural gas imports/exports to Canada and Mexico, and removes the requirement for a Presidential permit for these types of energy infrastructure projects.
