Bill Summary
Amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to prohibit the Secretary of Energy (DOE), except in the case of a severe energy supply interruption, from executing the first drawdown of petroleum products in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) after enactment of this Act until the Secretary has developed a plan to increase the percentage of federal lands (including submerged lands of the Outer Continental Shelf) under the jurisdiction of DOE, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of the Interior, and the Secretary of Defense (DOD) leased for oil and gas production by the same percentage as the percentage of petroleum in the SPR that is to be drawn down in such first and subsequent drawdowns. Prohibits such plan from providing for a total increase of more than 10% in the percentage of such federal lands leased for oil and gas production.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to require the Secretary of Energy to develop a plan to increase oil and gas production on federal lands before drawing down petroleum reserves from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), except in cases of severe energy supply interruptions. The SPR is a government-owned stockpile of crude oil intended to reduce the impact of disruptions to oil supplies. The plan must ensure that the percentage of federal lands leased for oil and gas production increases by the same amount as the percentage of petroleum drawn from the SPR, but this total increase cannot exceed 10 percent. The Secretary of Energy must consult with the Secretaries of Agriculture, the Interior, and Defense when creating this plan.
