Natural Gas Export Expansion Act

This bill changes the Natural Gas Act to speed up approval of natural gas exports. It extends the existing fast-track approval process, which now covers countries with free trade agreements with the United States, to any other country not excluded by the bill. Countries under U.S. sanctions would not qualify for fast-track approval, and the President or Congress could exclude other countries for national security reasons. The bill also states that no federal order is needed to export or import natural gas to or from Canada or Mexico.
