Bill Analysis

Bill Summary: HR 21 - Strategic Production Response Act

The Strategic Production Response Act (HR 21) aims to enhance the United States’ energy security by establishing a framework for the strategic management of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The bill seeks to ensure that the SPR is utilized effectively in response to disruptions in oil supply, thereby stabilizing domestic energy markets and prices.

Key Provisions:

  • The bill mandates the Secretary of Energy to develop a comprehensive strategy for the SPR that includes criteria for when and how to release oil from the reserve.
  • It requires the Secretary to consult with relevant stakeholders, including state governments, industry representatives, and energy experts, to inform the decision-making process regarding SPR releases.
  • The legislation emphasizes the importance of maintaining a minimum level of oil in the SPR to ensure preparedness for future supply disruptions.

Funding and Authorities: HR 21 does not specify new funding mechanisms but operates within the existing authorities of the Department of Energy (DOE). It reinforces the DOE’s role in managing the SPR and responding to energy crises.

Programs and Agencies Affected: The primary agency affected by this bill is the Department of Energy, particularly its Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, which oversees the SPR. The bill may also impact the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) in terms of data collection and analysis related to oil supply and demand.

Beneficiaries and Regulatory Impact: The bill is designed to benefit U.S. consumers and businesses by mitigating the economic impact of oil supply disruptions. It aims to provide a more stable energy market, which can lead to lower prices and greater energy reliability. Additionally, the legislation may indirectly benefit domestic oil producers by ensuring a more predictable regulatory environment.

Key Timelines: Since its introduction, HR 21 has been received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources for further consideration. The timeline for further action remains contingent on the committee’s review and subsequent legislative processes.
