on Resources 
A BILL 
To promote natural gas production from the abundant nat-
ural gas hydrate resources on the outer Continental Shelf 
and Federal lands in Alaska by providing royalty incen-
tives, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. GAS HYDRATE PRODUCTION INCENTIVE. 
(a) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this section is to pro-
mote natural gas production from the abundant natural 
gas hydrate resources on the outer Continental Shelf and 
Federal lands in Alaska by providing royalty incentives. 
(b) SUSPENSION OF ROYALTIES.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary of the Inte-
rior shall grant royalty relief for natural gas pro-
duced from gas hydrate resources under any lease 
issued under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act 
(43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.), and under any oil and gas 
lease issued for onshore Federal lands in Alaska, if 
the lease (eligible lease) is issued prior to January 
1, 2016, and production of natural gas from the gas 
hydrate resources commences prior to January 1, 
2018. 
(2) AMOUNT OF RELIEF.—The Secretary shall 
grant royalty relief to an eligible lease as a suspen-
sion volume of at least 50 billion cubic feet of nat-
ural gas produced from gas hydrate resources per 
nine square mile leased tract, in addition to any 
other royalty relief provisions applicable to the eligi-
ble lease not specifically granting a gas hydrate pro-
duction incentive. The minimum suspension volume 
for leased tracts that are smaller or larger than nine 
square miles shall be adjusted on a proportional 
basis. For purposes of this section, the term ‘‘gas 
hydrate resources’’ includes both the natural gas 
content of the gas hydrates within the hydrate sta-
bility zone and the free natural gas trapped by and 
beneath the hydrate stability zone.
(c) APPLICATION TO EXISTING LEASES.—Any relief 
granted under the authority of this section shall fully 
apply to leases in existence on the date of the enactment 
of this Act.

sulting from its advice and oversight functions 
under subsection (d). 
(f) INFORMING THE PUBLIC.—The Board shall 
hold public hearings, release public reports, and oth-
erwise inform the public of its activities, as appro-
priate and in a manner consistent with the protec-
tion of classified information and applicable law. 
(g) ACCESS TO INFORMATION.— 
(1) AUTHORIZATION.—If determined by the 
Board to be necessary to carry out its responsibil-
ities under this section, the Board may— 
(A) secure directly from any Federal exec-
utive department or agency, or any Federal of-
ficer or employee, all relevant records, reports, 
audits, reviews, documents, papers, or rec-
ommendations, including classified information 
consistent with applicable law; 
(B) interview, take statements from, or 
take public testimony from personnel of any 
Federal executive department or agency or any
