Requires new approval for natural gas exports to certain countries.
This bill would require companies to get an extra approval from the Secretary of Energy before exporting natural gas to certain countries. This new step would add a yearly certification process, on top of existing rules, to ensure these exports are in the public interest. It mainly affects businesses that export natural gas to these specific nations.
Today, companies exporting natural gas from the U.S. need an order authorizing the export. After this bill, if they export to a "covered nation," they would also need a separate one-year certification from the Secretary of Energy stating the export is in the public interest.
