This legislation aims to significantly restrict the President's authority concerning permits for cross-border energy infrastructure. It specifically prohibits the President from unilaterally revoking any Presidential permit or other authorization issued for the construction, operation, or maintenance of oil or natural gas pipelines and electric transmission facilities that cross international borders. This prohibition applies to permits issued under various Executive Orders, such as 13337, 11423, 12038, and 10485, or any other relevant Executive Order. A central provision dictates that such permits can only be revoked if explicitly authorized by an Act of Congress , thereby requiring legislative approval for any such action. This measure seeks to ensure greater stability and predictability for international energy projects by limiting executive discretion and preventing unilateral executive decisions on these critical facilities.
