## Summary

**Energy Non-Procurement List** This bill would create a list to block federal procurement from foreign entities judged harmful to U.S. energy supply chains, prioritizing firms tied to critical materials, batteries, and battery components. It would pair procurement limits with annual list updates, public and classified reports to Congress, exception rules for unavailable goods, and an interagency study to harmonize other federal lists of risky entities. - Federal contractors: Contractors would generally be barred from entering or renewing contracts that involve entities on the list beginning 1 year after enactment. Limited exceptions are allowed when needed goods or components cannot be procured in required quantity or timeliness and would trigger monthly disclosure by the contractor and a Secretary report within 90 days analyzing alternatives and recommendations. - Domestic and friendly-country suppliers: The Secretary would be required to assess alternative domestic or friendly-country sources and recommend steps to support those sources if they do not exist now. Exceptions to the procurement ban may be conditioned to encourage development of those sources and can last for the time needed to complete a project. - Federal oversight and lists: The Secretary would publish an unclassified list with a classified annex and must revise the list at least annually. The bill also calls for a List Overlap Study within 1 year to identify and recommend harmonization of related agency lists, including sanctioned parties and designated Chinese military companies.
