Committee on Energy and Natural Resources Subcommittee on Public Lands, Forests, and Mining. Hearings held. With printed Hearing: S.Hrg. 119-305.
Summary
The American Shores Protection Act bars the Department of the Interior from issuing any new leases or authorizations for oil or natural gas exploration, development, or production in specified offshore areas of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, the South Atlantic Planning Area, and the Straits of Florida. It applies to the outer continental shelf off Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina and leaves existing leases untouched. The measure reflects congressional support for a 2020 presidential withdrawal of those waters.
