A BILL To amend the Natural Gas Act to provide for expanded natural gas exports.
AI Summary
This bill, the Natural Gas Export Expansion Act, aims to amend the Natural Gas Act to provide for expanded natural gas exports. The key provisions of the bill include:
1. Finding that expanding natural gas exports will lead to increased investment and development of domestic natural gas supplies, contributing to job growth and economic development.
2. Amending the Natural Gas Act to establish an expedited application and approval process for exporting natural gas to any nation not excluded by the Act. The bill excludes nations subject to U.S. sanctions or trade restrictions, and allows the President or Congress to designate additional nations that may be excluded from the expedited approval process for national security reasons.
3. Removing the requirement for an order to authorize the export or import of natural gas to or from Canada or Mexico.
Overall, the bill seeks to facilitate and expand the export of U.S. natural gas to a wider range of international markets, with some exceptions for national security considerations.
