Bill > HR2926

This bill establishes the National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC), a new interagency body within the Executive Office of the President designed to advance U.S. energy production and policy. The Council will be comprised of over 20 high-ranking government officials, including the Secretaries of Interior, Energy, Defense, and State, as well as various White House advisors and agency heads. Its primary duties include advising the President on strategies to increase U.S. energy production, improve permitting processes, facilitate cooperation between the government and private energy sectors, and develop a comprehensive National Energy Dominance Strategy. The Council will focus on cutting regulatory barriers, enhancing private sector investments, promoting innovation, and expanding energy production across multiple sectors including electricity, nuclear power, and natural gas. Within 100 days of enactment, the Council must provide the President with a review of critical energy markets, consult with state and local governments, and recommend actions to increase energy capacity, streamline infrastructure approvals, and attract private investments. Additionally, the bill amends the National Security Act to include the Secretary of the Interior as a member of the National Security Council, further emphasizing the strategic importance of energy policy.
