Bill > S2494

This bill, known as the Natural Gas Export Promotion Act of 2014, aims to speed up the process for approving applications to export natural gas and to make information about where liquefied natural gas (LNG) is sent publicly available. Specifically, it mandates that the Secretary of Energy must make a final decision on natural gas export applications within 45 days after environmental reviews are completed, and if the Secretary fails to meet this deadline, courts can order a decision within 30 days and must prioritize these cases. Furthermore, for any authorized exports of liquefied natural gas, the bill requires companies to report the destination countries to the Secretary of Energy, who will then publish this information online for public access, with reporting deadlines set for shortly after the first export and then monthly thereafter.
