## Summary

This bill would create a **ban on Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) exports to designated foreign adversaries**. It forbids export or sale of petroleum products drawn from the SPR to China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, and to entities owned or controlled by those countries or the Chinese Communist Party, while providing a narrow waiver for national security and a 60‑day rulemaking deadline for the Energy Secretary. - Exporters and oil traders: Would be barred from exporting or selling SPR-drawn petroleum products to the named countries and to entities under their ownership or control. - Department of Energy: Would have to issue rules within 60 days to implement the prohibition and could grant exceptions if the Secretary certifies a national security interest. - Targeted foreign governments and controlled entities: Would lose access to petroleum products sourced from SPR draws under the ban. - Federal law and policy: Would add a new Sec. 164 to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act and update appropriations cross-references so the ban is codified in U.S. oil export law.
