Amends subsection (c)(1) of 50 U.S.C. 3021 by inserting additional text into that subsection (the specific inserted text is not included in the provided section).
Adds a new section (section 1408, 'National Energy Dominance Council') to subtitle A of title XIV of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 establishing the National Energy Dominance Council within the Executive Office of the President and specifying membership, duties, coordination, meetings, administration (staff and agency cooperation), and reporting.
Creates a new White House advisory body called the National Energy Dominance Council to advise the President, coordinate interagency work, and produce a National Energy Dominance Strategy (with a required review within 100 days). It also amends the law governing the National Security Council by inserting additional text into the National Security Act of 1947 (the exact insertion text was not provided).
Establish the National Energy Dominance Council within the Executive Office of the President (referred to as the Council).
Designate the Secretary of the Interior as Chair of the Council.
Designate the Secretary of Energy as Vice Chair of the Council.
Specify additional Council members: Administrator of the EPA; Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy; Assistant to the President for Economic Policy; Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs; Attorney General; Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers; Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality; Director of the Office of Management and Budget; Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy; Secretary of Agriculture; Secretary of Commerce; Secretary of Defense; Secretary of State; Secretary of Transportation; Secretary of the Treasury; United States Trade Representative; White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy; and heads of any other executive departments or agencies the President designates.
Advise the President on how to exercise Presidential authority to produce more energy so the United States becomes energy dominant.
Primary federal impact: The Executive Office of the President and multiple federal agencies (DOE, DOD, DHS, EPA, Treasury, and others) will be directly affected by new coordination requirements and the Council’s requests for input and cooperation. Agencies may need to divert staff time to support Council meetings, data requests, and development of the required strategy. For the energy sector: utilities, owners/operators of generation facilities, and other energy companies are likely to be affected indirectly when the Council’s National Energy Dominance Strategy guides executive priorities or regulatory actions; those priorities could shift permitting, reliability, export/import, infrastructure, or energy security efforts. For national security institutions: the statutory amendment to the National Security Act signals a possible shift or clarification in how the NSC interfaces with energy policy or Council outputs; intelligence, defense, and homeland security personnel may increase coordination. Operational and budget effects: the sections do not contain explicit funding; establishing and staffing the Council could be absorbed within Executive Office resources or prompt separate budget requests. Political and administrative effects: centralizing energy strategy in the White House can speed decision-making and elevate energy policy in national-security planning, but it also concentrates policy influence in the Executive Office and may draw scrutiny from Congress and stakeholders. Overall, the bill reorganizes advisory structure and requires an expedited strategy, with downstream effects depending on the content of the strategy and the unspecified NSC text insertion.
