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. The key provisions include: requiring a "certificate of crossing" for new border-crossing facilities, with a timeline for the relevant agency to issue such certificates; amending the Natural Gas Act to require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to quickly approve applications for natural gas imports from or exports to Canada and Mexico; repealing the requirement for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to approve electricity transmission to Canada and Mexico; and prohibiting the President from revoking existing presidential permits for such border-crossing facilities without congressional authorization.
