该立法包括能源劳动力提出的条款，包括限制滥用《濒危物种法》。针对濒危物种的具体规定包括禁止将沙丘鼠尾草蜥蜴和小草原鸡列入名单。

“HR 4821 法案的通过是土地所有者权利和美国能源安全的重大胜利，”能源劳动力和技术委员会主席蒂姆·塔普利 (Tim Tarpley) 表示。“随着能源需求持续增长，我们必须争取有利于美国石油和天然气的政策，使产量增加能够满足全球需求。我们严重担心沙丘鼠尾草蜥蜴和小草原鸡的清单可能会被用作限制美国能源生产的工具。我们不能允许繁文缛节的治理危及二叠纪盆地的繁荣。”

此外，该计划要求内政部长每季度进行陆上石油和天然气租赁销售，直接回应政府最近发布的海上五年租赁计划。政府的新计划在五年内将离岸租赁销售数量从 11 个减少到 3 个。美国墨西哥湾的碳强度约为其他产区的一半，为 375,000 名美国人提供了就业机会。

“海湾地区生产的石油和天然气是世界上最清洁的能源之一，”塔普利说。“最近发布的海上五年租赁计划不足以满足美国的能源需求。根据这项新的拨款计划，至少需要 20 笔租赁销售，使石油和天然气公司有能力继续海上生产，提供美国能源安全并挽救数千名工人的工作。”

(WO) – The Energy Workforce and Technology Council issued a statement applauding the passage of H.R. 4821, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2024. This bill passed in a bipartisan vote of 213 to 203.

The legislation includes provisions advanced by Energy Workforce, including limiting the abuse of the Endangered Species Act. Provisions specific to endangered species include the prohibition of listing both the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard and Lesser Prairie-Chicken.

“The passage of H.R. 4821 is a resounding win for landowner rights and American energy security,” said Tim Tarpley, President of Energy Workforce and Technology Council. “As energy demand continues to grow, we must fight for policies that are friendly to American oil and gas, allowing increased production to match global demand. We have serious concerns that a listing of the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard and the Lesser Prairie Chicken may be used as a tool to curtail U.S. energy production. We cannot allow governance by red tape to imperil prosperity in the Permian basin.”

Further, the package requires the Secretary of the Interior to conduct quarterly onshore oil and gas lease sales, directly responding to the administration’s recently released offshore five-year leasing plan. The administration’s new plan decreases the number of offshore lease sales from eleven to three over a span of five years. The U.S. Gulf of Mexico boasts approximately half the carbon intensity of other producing regions and supports the jobs of 375,000 Americans.

“Oil and gas produced in the Gulf is some of the cleanest energy produced anywhere in the world,” said Tarpley. “The recently released offshore five-year leasing plan is insufficient to meet U.S. energy needs. Under this new appropriation package, at least 20 lease sales would be required, granting oil and gas companies the ability to continue offshore production, providing American energy security and saving the jobs of thousands of workers.”
