What This Bill Would Do

This bill creates a new, standardized federal process for approving energy infrastructure projects that cross U.S. international borders, such as oil pipelines, natural gas lines, and electric transmission lines. It removes the requirement for s for these projects and sets specific deadlines for federal agencies to review and approve applications.

Why it matters

The bill shifts authority for cross-border energy projects from the President to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Department of Energy, potentially accelerating the approval timeline for energy companies seeking to import or export resources with Canada and Mexico.

Who It Would Affect

Groups the bill's text would affect if enacted, as described in the record. Being affected is not a position for or against it.

Directly affected

Energy infrastructure developers

These entities must obtain a certificate of crossing under the new process for future projects.

Directly affected

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

The agency is tasked with new rulemaking and approval responsibilities for oil and gas border-crossing facilities.

Directly affected

Department of Energy

The agency is tasked with new rulemaking and approval responsibilities for electric transmission border-crossing facilities.
