What it does
The Protecting American Energy Security Act of 2026 would amend the Natural Gas Act to require a certification from the Secretary of Energy before any natural gas can be exported from the United States to a "covered nation," defined under section 4872(f) of title 10 of the U.S. Code. This certification, in addition to any existing export authorization, must affirm that the export is in the public interest and would be valid for one year unless revoked earlier by the Secretary. The bill affects exporters of natural gas seeking to ship to covered nations, adding a new layer of federal oversight to such exports.
