Bill > HR7094

This bill, titled the "No Aid for Russian Energy Act," aims to prohibit United States persons, which includes U.S. citizens, permanent residents, entities organized under U.S. law, and individuals physically in the U.S., from providing petroleum equipment and services to Russia's energy sector. This prohibition extends to foreign entities owned or controlled by U.S. persons, with the exception of equipment and services directly related to isotopes used for medical, agricultural, or environmental purposes, such as Carbon-13. The bill also mandates sanctions against any foreign person who engages in such prohibited activities, including asset blocking and visa restrictions for individuals involved, though exceptions exist for humanitarian aid and compliance with international obligations. The President is empowered to implement these measures using authorities under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), with penalties for violations mirroring those under IEEPA, and the President can waive sanctions for up to 180 days if deemed vital to U.S. national security interests. "Petroleum equipment and services" is broadly defined to include items and expertise related to oil and natural gas exploration and production, including software, data access, engineering, consulting, and technology transfer.
