Show full summary
- Foreign adversaries and affiliated entities: Would be barred from receiving SPR oil drawn down under any law, blocking sales or exports to those listed countries and their controlled entities.
- Department of Energy role: The Energy Secretary would have to issue a rule to implement the ban within 60 days and could grant a waiver if a specific export is certified to be in U.S. national security interests.
- Legal alignment: The bill would add the new prohibition into the Energy Policy and Conservation Act and update statutory cross references so the ban integrates with existing SPR drawdown authorities.
