Strengthening the Economy with Critical Untapped Resources to Expand American Energy Act or the SECURE American Energy Act

Accessing Strategic Resources Offshore Act or the ASTRO Act

This bill addresses offshore and onshore oil and gas resources on the outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and other federal lands.

The bill amends the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to establish a revenue sharing framework to distribute revenues collected from oil and gas leasing on the OCS to certain states (Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alaska). The bill also increases, for FY2029-FY2059, the amount of qualified OCS revenues available for distribution to Gulf producing states (Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas).

The bill limits the President's authority to prohibit oil and gas leasing on the OCS.

Under the bill, the Department of the Interior must conduct wind lease sales on the OCS off the coast of California and Hawaii.
