Bill Analysis

Bill Summary: HR 21 - Strategic Production Response Act

The Strategic Production Response Act (HR 21) aims to enhance the United States’ energy independence by streamlining the federal government’s response to energy supply disruptions. The bill establishes a framework for the strategic release of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in response to significant supply shortages, ensuring a more coordinated and effective approach to energy crises.

Key Provisions:

  • The bill mandates the Secretary of Energy to develop a comprehensive strategy for the SPR, focusing on timely releases during supply disruptions that could impact national security or the economy.
  • It requires the Secretary to consult with the Secretary of Defense and other relevant agencies to assess the potential impact of energy supply disruptions on national security.
  • The legislation emphasizes transparency by requiring the Department of Energy (DOE) to report to Congress on the SPR’s status, including inventory levels and the rationale for any releases.

Funding and Authorities: The bill does not specify new funding mechanisms but operates within the existing budgetary framework of the DOE. It enhances the Secretary of Energy’s authority to manage the SPR more effectively, particularly during emergencies.

Programs and Agencies Affected: The primary agency affected is the Department of Energy, specifically the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, which oversees the SPR. Additionally, the Department of Defense may be involved in consultations regarding national security implications.

Beneficiaries and Regulation: The bill benefits U.S. consumers and businesses by potentially stabilizing energy prices and ensuring a reliable supply of crude oil during crises. It also regulates the strategic management of the SPR, enhancing the federal government’s ability to respond to market fluctuations.

Key Timelines: Following its introduction, HR 21 was received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources for further consideration. The timeline for further action will depend on committee deliberations and subsequent legislative processes.
