Protecting American Energy Security Act of 2026

This bill would change the Natural Gas Act so that anyone exporting natural gas from the United States to a "covered nation" must have a certification from the Secretary of Energy stating that the export would be in the public interest. This certification would be required in addition to the export order already required under current law. "Covered nation" is defined by reference to an existing federal law in title 10 of the U.S. Code. Each certification would last one year unless the Secretary of Energy revokes it earlier.
