Strategic Production Response and Implementation Act

This bill changes the rules for when the government can use oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Before taking oil from the reserve, the Department of Energy must first create and carry out a plan to lease more federal land for oil and gas drilling. The amount of new land leased must match the percentage of oil being taken from the reserve. The government can still use reserve oil during serious energy emergencies, and the total increase in leased federal land cannot be more than 10%.
