Summary
Strategic Production Response Act or the SPR Act
This bill limits the drawdown of petroleum in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) until the Department of Interior issues a plan or updates a previously issued plan to increase the production of oil and gas on federal land. However, Interior may drawdown petroleum in the SPR if there is a severe energy supply interruption. The bill defines federal land to (1) include Outer Continental Shelf land; and (2) exclude land otherwise not available for oil and gas development within the National Park System, the National Wildlife Refuge System, the National Wilderness Preservation System, a National Marine Sanctuary, or Indian land.
