Bill Summary

A BILL To establish 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.

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, as well as the transmission of electricity. It requires a "certificate of crossing" to be obtained from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for oil and natural gas pipelines, or the Secretary of Energy for electric transmission facilities, unless certain exclusions apply. The bill also amends the Natural Gas Act and the Federal Power Act to streamline the approval process for the importation/exportation of natural gas to/from Canada and Mexico, and the transmission of electric energy to those countries. Additionally, the bill eliminates the requirement for a Presidential permit for the construction, connection, operation, or maintenance of these border-crossing energy facilities.
