NOIA Statement on House Passage of the Reconciliation Package
Washington, D.C. – National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) President Erik Milito issued the following statement after the House of Representatives passed its version of the reconciliation package, which includes critical offshore energy provisions:
“House passage of this legislation is a significant milestone in advancing American energy dominance. Many of the included provisions are vital to preserving the Gulf of America’s role as a strategic energy hub and reinforcing U.S. leadership in offshore energy.
“As the Senate moves forward, we urge lawmakers to deliver a final, balanced reconciliation package that maintains essential offshore oil and gas measures while ensuring current offshore energy tax credits are protected from premature repeal or phase-out. Undermining these credits risks disrupting critical investments in American manufacturing, infrastructure, ports, shipbuilding, and offshore energy projects nationwide.
“The reconciliation process is a historic opportunity to advance U.S. energy production, environmental stewardship, and economic resilience. NOIA looks forward to working closely with Congress to secure a successful outcome.”
