Bill > HR1587

This bill, called the Protecting International Pipelines for Energy Security Act, prohibits the President from unilaterally revoking Presidential permits related to cross-border energy infrastructure without explicit Congressional authorization. Specifically, the bill prevents the President from revoking permits issued under several Executive Orders (including E.O. 13337 and E.O. 11423) for the construction, connection, operation, or maintenance of oil and natural gas pipelines, electric transmission facilities, and their associated border-crossing facilities. The bill defines border-crossing facilities as the portion of these infrastructure projects located at an international boundary of the United States, and provides clear definitions for terms like "natural gas" (referencing the Natural Gas Act) and "oil" (meaning petroleum or petroleum products). The legislation effectively limits the President's executive power to cancel or withdraw permits for critical energy infrastructure that crosses international borders, requiring any such revocation to be specifically approved by an Act of Congress.
