AI Summary

This bill, the Strategic Production Response Act, aims to increase oil and gas production on federal lands under the jurisdiction of various government agencies, such as the Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy, Department of the Interior, and Department of Defense. The bill requires the Secretary of Energy to develop and submit to Congress a plan to increase the percentage of federal lands leased for oil and gas production, up to a maximum of 15%, before executing the first drawdown of petroleum products from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The plan must also ensure that any petroleum products drawn down from the SPR are not sold to certain foreign entities of concern, such as China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran. The bill also includes provisions to identify areas within the Thompson Divide in Colorado for potential leasing and clarifies that the Act will not affect certain existing restrictions on oil and gas leasing in certain areas.
