## Provisions PRIA read

- Ban on fuels from Russian crude: cost, high. If enacted, U.S. imports of petroleum products made at refineries that used Russian-origin crude would be banned upon enactment. U.S. Customs would enforce the ban. This could reduce the supply of some fuels and raise prices for refiners, importers, and consumers.
- Ban on new U.S. investment in Russia: cost, high. If enacted, starting 30 days after the law U.S. persons would be prohibited from making any new investments in the Russian Federation. The bill would also bar exports of U.S.-produced energy products to Russia and allow sanctions on people who help Russia maintain or expand energy production.
- Big tariff increase on Russian goods: cost, high. If enacted, the President would raise the ad valorem duty on all goods from Russia up to 500% within 30 days. That duty would be added on top of any antidumping or countervailing duties. Covered items explicitly include oil, gas, petroleum products, petrochemicals, and coal. Importers and businesse…
- Ban trading Russian government securities: cost, medium. If enacted, the SEC would be directed to bar trading on U.S. national exchanges of securities of issuers affiliated with the Russian government within 30 days. Investors would no longer be able to trade those securities on U.S. exchanges and trading may shift elsewhere.
- Tighter rules for ship insurance: cost, low. If enacted, the law would define 'adequate maritime insurance' for ships carrying Russian-origin goods. Insurers would have to show protection and indemnity coverage and audited financial statements. Insurers organized under Russian law or subject to Russian jurisdiction would not qualify.
- New wide Russia sanctions regime: mixed, high. If enacted, the bill would create a broad, recurring sanctions program targeting many Russian-linked people, banks, vessels, and entities. The President would be required to block property, ban transactions, and revoke visas for designated persons, with major bank measures required within 30 days a…
- Ban on Rosatom uranium imports: mixed, medium. If enacted, the President would block imports of uranium from Rosatom and its subsidiaries. The bill would also require recurring sanctions on Rosatom leaders starting on a date named in another law and every 180 days thereafter. These actions could tighten nuclear fuel supply and raise costs for b…
- Make Iran sanctions law permanent: mixed, low. If enacted, the bill would remove the expiration date from the Iran Sanctions Act and keep its sanctions authorities in force permanently. Agencies and covered entities would continue to operate under those same sanctions rules.
