Fueling American Prosperity Act: Boosting Oil & Gas Production

This act aims to increase oil and gas production in the U.S., potentially impacting fuel prices. It mandates the government to quickly resume offshore and onshore drilling lease sales. Failure to meet these requirements could lead to hiring freezes and transfer limitations within the Department of the Interior.
Key points
Resumption of Drilling Sales: The government must immediately resume onshore and offshore oil and gas lease sales, potentially increasing fuel availability.
Faster Environmental Reviews: During periods of high gasoline prices (above $3.99/gallon), environmental reviews must be finalized faster. If deadlines are missed, projects may proceed without full environmental assessments.
Government Restrictions: If the required drilling actions are not met, the Department of the Interior will face hiring freezes and employee transfer limitations, potentially affecting its operations.
