Bill > HR1575

This bill seeks to repeal restrictions on the export and import of natural gas, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), by amending the Natural Gas Act. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Granting the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) the exclusive authority to approve or deny applications for the siting, construction, expansion, or operation of facilities to export or import natural gas, including LNG terminals. 2. Clarifying that the bill does not affect the President's authority to prohibit imports or exports under various laws, including those that impose sanctions on foreign persons or governments, such as state sponsors of terrorism. The goal of the bill is to "unlock our domestic LNG potential" by removing restrictions on the export and import of natural gas, potentially allowing for increased domestic production and global trade of this energy resource.
