Read twice and referred to the Select Committee on Intelligence.
This bill requires the Director of National Intelligence to develop a strategy within 90 days to improve information sharing between the federal government and private companies about foreign adversary threats to American energy and mining projects abroad. The strategy focuses specifically on protecting U.S. persons and companies competing in foreign energy generation, storage, and critical mineral projects from tactics like economic espionage, intellectual property theft, deceptive ownership structures, and disinformation campaigns by foreign adversaries. The bill affects American energy and mining companies operating internationally who would benefit from receiving federal intelligence about these threats, as well as federal agencies that would need to coordinate on sharing this sensitive information. Within 30 days of completing the strategy, the Director must submit an implementation plan to congressional intelligence committees. The bill does not specify funding amounts or authorize new appropriations for this intelligence-sharing effort.
