IPAA (Dec. 8, 2024) – IPAA’s priorities include equitable tax policies for energy businesses, sensible environmental regulations, reform of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)/permitting reform, access to federal lands and waters, reforms to the Endangered Species Act, and lifting the pause on issuing permits for liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities. We also want to shift the policies of the federal government from meeting international climate goals to focus on energy security for Americans and increasing U.S. business competitiveness internationally.

The choices our nation makes regarding energy policy will have an enormous impact on America’s economy and our position in the world. We urge the administration to take positive actions to support America’s small oil and natural gas producers and develop a robust energy policy that will unleash American entrepreneurs, expand our economy, and make the United States an energy superpower once again. This will not only benefit the United States, but nations around the globe.

Linked below is a booklet of several issues the IPAA believes are key to helping the United States remain at the forefront of energy development in the coming years. In addition, attached is a more detailed issues document outlining specific actions IPAA believes are necessary for the United States to remain the global energy leader in the years ahead. America’s independent oil and natural gas producers play a critical role in our country’s domestic energy development, and we look forward to collaborating with you and your administration to find innovative solutions to address America’s energy challenges.
