This bill, known as the Strategic Production Response and Implementation Act, establishes a new condition for releasing petroleum from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). It mandates that, except during severe energy supply interruptions, the Secretary cannot execute an SPR drawdown until a specific plan is developed and implemented. This plan aims to increase domestic oil and gas production on federal lands in conjunction with strategic petroleum releases. The plan requires an increase in the percentage of Federal lands , including those under the jurisdiction of the Secretaries of Agriculture, Energy, Interior, and Defense, leased for oil and gas production. This increase must match the percentage of petroleum drawn from the SPR, though it is capped at a 10 percent total increase in leased federal lands. The Secretary must also consult with the Secretaries of Agriculture, the Interior, and Defense when preparing this compensatory production increase plan.
