What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill removes current rules that require the Department of Energy (DOE) to approve the import and export of natural gas, including rules related to free trade agreements. Instead, it gives the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) full control over approving or rejecting requests to build, expand, or operate facilities—like liquefied natural gas terminals—used to send natural gas to or bring it from other countries. When making these decisions, FERC would have to determine that the import or export of natural gas serves the public interest.
