<p><strong>Strategic Production Response and Implementation Act</strong></p><p>This bill modifies the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to prohibit&nbsp;the Department of Energy (DOE) from drawing down petroleum products in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve until DOE develops and implements a plan to increase the percentage of federal lands leased for oil and gas production.
