S. 3467 · 118th Congress
Energizing American Shipbuilding Act of 2023
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Energizing American Shipbuilding Act of 2023
This bill requires an increasing percentage of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and crude oil exports to be transported on U.S. vessels with American crews by certain deadlines. Specifically, the bill directs (1) the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to require specified percentages of LNG exports to be transported on vessels built or retrofitted in the United States and documented under its laws, and (2) the President to require specified percentages of crude oil exports to be transported on vessels built or retrofitted in the United States and documented under its laws.
The vessels that are subject to these requirements must also have certain components that are built in the United States. If the vessels are retrofitted, the work must be done in a shipyard in the United States. FERC and the President may waive the component requirements under specified circumstances.
The Energy Information Administration must collect and publish information on exports of natural gas and crude oil by vessels, including forecasts and data on those exports.
