Bill overview
The Protecting American Energy Security Act of 2026 aims to strengthen controls on the export of U.S. natural gas. Specifically, it requires the Secretary of Energy to issue a certification demonstrating that exporting natural gas to a ‘covered nation’ is in the public interest. This certification must be in effect alongside any existing export authorization, and it lasts for one year, subject to renewal or revocation by the Secretary. The bill intends to provide the Department of Energy with greater oversight of natural gas exports.
