HR 92 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing.

Strategic Production Response and Implementation Act
To provide for the development of a plan to increase oil and gas production under oil and gas leases of Federal lands under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of the Interior, and the Secretary of Defense in conjunction with a drawdown of petroleum reserves from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Summary
The Strategic Production Response and Implementation Act amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to require the Secretary of Energy to develop and implement a plan for increasing oil and gas leasing on federal lands before drawing down petroleum reserves from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The plan must increase the percentage of federal lands leased for oil and gas production by an amount proportional to the percentage of petroleum being drawn from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The total increase in federal lands leased for oil and gas production is capped at 10 percent. The Secretary must consult with the Secretaries of Agriculture, Interior, and Defense in developing the plan, and the requirement does not apply in cases of severe energy supply interruption.
