LNG Export Security Act
Sponsored By: Senator Cornyn, John [R-TX]
Introduced
Summary
Prioritizes domestic natural gas development and national security in how "public interest" is defined. The LNG Export Security Act would add a new definition to Section 2 of the Natural Gas Act saying that "public interest" means considering the development of natural gas facilities and the domestic natural gas supply, domestic economic interests, and national security interests. That makes public-interest assessments under the Natural Gas Act explicitly include those three factors when agencies apply the term.

New public-interest test for gas projects
This bill would add a new definition of "public interest" to the Natural Gas Act. If enacted, agencies that approve natural gas facilities would have to consider development of U.S. gas facilities, domestic gas supply, domestic economic interests, and national security. If enacted, this would affect permitting and export approvals for LNG and other gas projects and their investors. The change would take effect upon enactment.
