Strategic Production Response and Implementation Act
Introduced Jan 3, 2025 by Rep. Andy Biggs
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill modifies the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to prohibit the Department of Energy (DOE) from drawing down petroleum products in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve until DOE develops and implements a plan to increase the percentage of federal lands leased for oil and gas production. The increase must be equal to the percentage of petroleum in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve that is to be drawn down. However, the bill does not apply to a drawdown of petroleum products in the case of a severe energy supply interruption, which is permitted under current law.
The plan must not provide for a total increase in the percentage of federal lands leased for oil and gas production in excess of 10%.
