This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Unlocking our Domes-
tic LNG Potential Act of 2025’’.

Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717b)

(2) by redesignating subsections (e) and (f) as 
subsections (a) and (b), respectively; 
(3) by redesignating subsection (d) as sub-
section (c), and moving such subsection after sub-
section (b), as so redesignated; 
(4) in subsection (a), as so redesignated, by 
amending paragraph (1) to read as follows: 
‘‘(1) The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (in 
this subsection referred to as the ‘Commission’) shall have 
the exclusive authority to approve or deny an application 
for authorization for the siting, construction, expansion, 
or operation of a facility to export natural gas from the 
United States to a foreign country or import natural gas 
from a foreign country, including an LNG terminal. In 
determining whether to approve or deny an application 
under this paragraph, the Commission shall deem the ex-
portation or importation of natural gas to be consistent 
with the public interest. Except as specifically provided in 
this Act, nothing in this Act is intended to affect otherwise
applicable law related to any Federal agency’s authorities 
or responsibilities related to facilities to import or export 
natural gas, including LNG terminals.’’; and 
(5) by adding at the end the following new sub-
section: 
‘‘(d)(1) Nothing in this Act limits the authority of

seq.), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et 
seq.), part B of title II of the Energy Policy and Conserva-

sion of law that imposes sanctions on a foreign person or 
foreign government (including any provision of law that 
prohibits or restricts United States persons from engaging 
in a transaction with a sanctioned person or government), 
including a country that is designated as a state sponsor 
of terrorism, to prohibit imports or exports. 
‘‘(2) In this subsection, the term ‘state sponsor of ter-
rorism’ means a country the government of which the Sec-
