day by 2030 and reduce the need for 2.3 million 
barrels of oil per day by 2040. 
(5) In 2011, the President issued a proposed 
rule to implement increased fuel economy and de-
creased global warming emissions for light duty ve-
hicles produced in model years 2017–2025. This 
rule, once fully implemented, will reduce the need for 
an additional 1.5 million barrels of oil per day by 
2030 and reduce the need for 2.4 million barrels of 
oil per day by 2040. 
(6) These actions will help reduce domestic con-
sumption of crude oil, which is an exhaustible nat-
ural resource. These measures represent only a por-
tion of Federal Government efforts to assist eco-
nomic growth and reduce economic pressures relat-
ing to high oil prices. 
(7) As the result of actions undertaken by the 
Congress and the executive branch, domestic oil pro-
duction has ramped up considerably. Oil production 
is currently at its highest level since 2003, while 
production of oil and natural gas liquids combined 
are at their highest level since 1997. Domestic oil 
production is expected to continue rising through 
2020. Restrictions on exports of oil produced on 
public lands are a necessary and appropriate com-

and refined products from such oil. 
SEC. 3. NO FOREIGN SALES OF OIL PRODUCED ON FED-
ERAL LANDS. 
The Secretary of the Interior may accept bids on any 
new oil and gas leases of Federal lands (including sub-
merged lands) under the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 
181 et seq.) or the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act 
(43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.) only from bidders certifying that

petroleum products produced from such crude oil, shall be 
offered for sale only in the United States. 
SEC. 4. WAIVER. 
The President may provide for waiver of the applica-
tion of section 3 with respect to a lease in a case in 
which— 
(1) the President determines that such a waiver 
is in the national interest because it— 
(A) will not lead to an increase in domestic 
consumption of crude oil obtained from coun-
tries hostile to United States interests or that 
have political and economic instability that com-
promises energy supply security;

(B) will not lead to higher costs to oil re-
finers that purchase the crude oil than such re-
finers would have to pay for crude oil in the ab-
sence of such a waiver; and 
(C) will not lead to higher gasoline costs 
paid by consumers than consumers would have 
to pay in the absence of such a waiver; 
(2) an exchange of crude oil or refined petro-
leum products provides for no net loss of crude oil 
or refined petroleum products, respectively, con-
sumed domestically; 
(3) a waiver is necessary under the Constitu-
tion, a law, or an international agreement; or 
(4) a standing trade agreement with a North 
American trading partner allows for such exports, 
and all crude oil and refined petroleum products ex-
ported under such a waiver will be consumed in 
North America.
