What this bill would do

This bill, titled the ``Cutting LNG Bunkering Red Tape Act'', aims to amend the Natural Gas Act. The primary purpose is to clarify how bunkering is treated regarding exports. Specifically, it addresses the bunkering of natural gas used as marine fuel by a receiving vessel. Under this proposal, such bunkering would not be considered an export unless the transfer happens in a foreign country's territorial sea or inland waters.
