## Summary

**Prevents the President from revoking permits for cross-border oil, natural gas, and electric transmission projects unless Congress approves a revocation.** It bars the executive branch from canceling permits or authorizations issued under several specified Executive Orders and ties coverage to the border-crossing portions of pipelines and transmission lines. - Energy developers and project owners: Keeps permits and related authorizations for international pipeline and transmission projects from being overturned by the President alone, increasing permit stability for cross-border projects. - The President and federal agencies: Removes the executive branch's authority to revoke permits issued under the named Executive Orders unless an Act of Congress specifically allows a revocation. - Congress and lawmakers: Requires Congress to pass a law to authorize any revocation, shifting final control over permit cancellations to legislators. - Legal and regulatory clarity: Defines "border-crossing facility" and references the Natural Gas Act definition of natural gas to specify which projects are covered and reduce ambiguity.
