## Summary

**Creates a unified, certificate-based federal system for authorizing cross-border oil, natural gas, and electric transmission facilities.** It would replace some Presidential-permit requirements and set firm approval timelines to speed cross-border energy projects. - Project developers and utilities: Would need a "certificate of crossing" to construct, connect, operate, or maintain a facility within 1,000 feet of an international boundary. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission handles oil and natural gas pipelines and the Secretary of Energy handles electric lines, with certificates generally due within 120 days after final agency action. - Natural gas exporters and importers: Adds a requirement that the Commission grant applications to export or import natural gas to Canada or Mexico no later than 30 days after a complete application is filed, accelerating cross-border gas approvals. - Regulators and reliability: Removes the requirement for a Presidential permit for these projects and repeals the Federal Power Act provision that previously governed some electric exports. The Secretary of Energy must condition certificates on meeting Electric Reliability Organization and regional standards, and the bill preserves existing FERC and other federal authorities.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Easier power trade with Canada, Mexico: benefit, medium. If enacted, the bill would repeal the current federal order required to send electricity to Canada or Mexico. Related changes would shift certain hearings and findings to the Energy Secretary. The Secretary would need to find that proposed transmission would not harm U.S. power supply or public-int…
- Faster gas trade with Canada, Mexico: benefit, low. If enacted, FERC would have 30 days to grant a complete application to import gas from or export gas to Canada or Mexico. The 30-day clock would start when FERC receives a complete filing. This change would take effect 1 year after enactment.
- New rules to build cross-border energy lines: mixed, medium. This bill would create one certificate of crossing to build, connect, or run oil, gas, or electric lines at the border. FERC would decide oil and gas pipelines; the Energy Secretary would decide electric lines and require compliance with grid reliability standards. For projects under NEPA, the agen…
