Section 28 of the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 185) is amended by
amending subsection (s) to read as follows:
''exports of alaskan north slope oil

''(s)(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) through (6) of this subsection
and notwithstanding any other provision of this Act or any other
provision of law (including any regulation) applicable to the export of
oil transported by pipeline over right-of-way granted pursuant to
section 203 of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act (43 U.S.C.
1652), such oil may be exported unless the President finds that
exportation of this oil is not in the national interest. The President
shall make his national interest determination within five months of
the date of enactment of this subsection. In evaluating whether exports
of this oil are in the national interest, the President shall at a
minimum consider--
''(A) whether exports of this oil would diminish the total
quantity or quality of petroleum available to the United
States;
''(B) the results of an appropriate environmental review,
including consideration of appropriate measures to mitigate any
potential adverse effects of exports of this oil on the
environment, which shall be completed within four months of the
date of the enactment of this subsection; and
''(C) whether exports of this oil are likely to cause
sustained material oil supply shortages or sustained oil prices
significantly above world market levels that would cause
sustained material adverse employment effects in the United
States or that would cause substantial harm to consumers,
including noncontiguous States and Pacific territories.
If the President determines that exports of this oil are in the
national interest, he may impose such terms and conditions (other than
a volume limitation) as are necessary or appropriate to ensure that
such exports are consistent with the national interest.
''(2) Except in the case of oil exported to a country with which
the United States entered into a bilateral international oil supply
agreement before November 26, 1979, or to a country pursuant to the
International Emergency Oil Sharing Plan of the International Energy
Agency, any oil transported by pipeline over right-of-way granted
pursuant to section 203 of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act
(43 U.S.C. 1652) shall, when exported, be transported by a vessel
documented under the laws of the United States and owned by a citizen
of the United States (as determined in accordance with section 2 of the
Shipping Act, 1916 (46 U.S.C. App. 802)).
''(3) Nothing in this subsection shall restrict the authority of
the President under the Constitution, the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), or the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) to prohibit exports of this
oil or under Part B of title II of the Energy Policy and Conservation
Act (42 U.S.C. 6271-76).
''(4) The Secretary of Commerce shall issue any rules necessary for
implementation of the President's national interest determination,
including any licensing requirements and conditions, within 30 days of
the date of such determination by the President. The Secretary of
Commerce shall consult with the Secretary of Energy in administering
the provisions of this subsection.
''(5) If the Secretary of Commerce finds that exporting oil under
authority of this subsection has caused sustained material oil supply
shortages or sustained oil prices significantly above world market
levels and further finds that these supply shortages or price increases
have caused or are likely to cause sustained material adverse
employment effects in the United States, the Secretary of Commerce, in
consultation with the Secretary of Energy, shall recommend, and the
President may take, appropriate action concerning exports of this oil,
which may include modifying or revoking authority to export such oil.
''(6) Administrative action under this subsection is not subject to
sections 551 and 553 through 559 of title 5, United States Code.''.

Student:
Amends the Mineral Leasing Act to permit the export of Alaskan North Slope oil unless the President finds, within five months after enactment of this Act, that such exportation is not in the national interest. Sets forth mandatory considerations in evaluating whether such exportation is in the national interest, including an environmental review and supply and employment impact analysis. Mandates that, except in certain cases, such oil be transported by U.S.-owned merchant marine vessels. Retains the President's authority to prohibit exportation of the oil. Instructs the Secretary of Commerce to issue, within 30 days after the President's national interest determination, necessary rules, including any licensing requirements and conditions, to implement such determination. Directs the Secretary to recommend that the President take appropriate action (including modification of export authorization) if oil exports under authority of this Act have caused sustained material supply shortages or price increases significantly above world market levels, together with sustained material adverse effects upon domestic employment. Instructs the Comptroller General to review and report to specified congressional committees on energy production in California and Alaska and the effects of Alaskan North Slope crude oil exports upon consumers, independent refiners, and shipbuilding and ship repair yards on the West Coast and in Hawaii.
