Protecting International Pipelines for Energy Security Act
This bill prohibits the President from revoking presidential permits for international oil or natural gas pipelines (including border-crossing sections) or related electric transmission facilities without specific authorization from Congress. It applies to permits required under several executive orders, preventing unilateral cancellation by the President. The law requires Congress to pass a new law explicitly allowing revocation, rather than the President acting alone. This directly affects pipeline projects seeking or holding federal permits for cross-border energy infrastructure.
