To amend the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to grant easements and rights-of-way on the Outer Continental Shelf for activities otherwise authorized by that Act.
Summary
H.R. 907 proposes to expand the authority of the Secretary of the Interior to grant easements and rights-of-way on the Outer Continental Shelf, which includes submerged lands located off the U.S. coast. This change would allow for the construction and operation of infrastructure necessary to support both traditional energy sources, like oil and natural gas, and alternative energy sources, such as wind or wave power. For citizens, this bill aims to streamline the development of offshore energy projects, potentially increasing domestic energy production and diversifying the nation’s energy supply.
