Strategic Resources Non-discrimination Act
Summary
HR4835 is an early-stage House bill with no current market impact. It would codify a non-discrimination principle for fossil fuels under DPA Title III, but the bill is stuck at committee referral with no scheduled markup. The real action is already in place via five Presidential Memoranda from April 20, 2026 that activate DPA Title III for fossil fuels. The bill preserves optionality for midstream and coal companies under future administrations that might deprioritize fossil fuel DPA support.

Key Takeaways
- 1.HR4835 has zero actual market impact today — it is an early-stage bill with no committee action since August 2025.
- 2.The real market-relevant event was the April 20, 2026 Presidential Memoranda which already invoke DPA Title III for fossil fuels.
- 3.This bill would make it harder for a future administration to exclude fossil fuels from DPA Title III, preserving optionality for midstream and coal companies.
Market Implications
The market impact of HR4835 is effectively zero at this stage. The actual price action visible in the provided data shows KMI down 5.38% over 30 days to $31.84, BTU collapsing 23.09% over 30 days to $27.44, and ET up 0.87% over 30 days to $19.76. These moves are driven by coal demand dynamics, natural gas price trends, and broader energy commodity markets — not by a stalled procedural bill. Investors should focus on the April 20 DPA memoranda as the operative policy, not HR4835.

Some confirming evidence found across public data sources
What the bill does
Prohibition on discrimination based on energy source in DPA Title III authority; bill would codify that the President cannot deny financial support (loans, loan guarantees, purchase commitments) under DPA sections 301, 302, or 303 to entities producing fossil fuel-based energy.
Who must act
President of the United States and any future administration using DPA Title III authorities for energy supply support.
What happens
Codifies a non-discrimination principle into existing statute, blocking future executive orders or agency rules from excluding natural gas pipeline, storage, and transportation projects from DPA Title III financial support eligibility.
Stock impact
Kinder Morgan (natural gas pipeline and storage operator) would retain access to DPA Title III loan guarantees and purchase commitments for fossil fuel infrastructure projects if conditions change under a future administration. Currently no immediate revenue impact as the bill is procedural and early-stage.
What the bill does
Same mechanism as above — DPA Title III non-discrimination clause covering natural gas and petroleum transportation and sale.
Who must act
President of the United States and any future administration using DPA Title III authorities.
What happens
Energy Transfer's midstream natural gas, NGL, and crude oil pipeline and terminal projects would remain eligible for DPA Title III financial support regardless of administration policy preferences regarding fossil fuels.
Stock impact
Energy Transfer (midstream natural gas and crude oil logistics) would preserve access to DPA Title III credit support for large-diameter pipeline construction and terminal expansions. Near-term: no revenue change. Long-term: optionality preserved.

Imposing Sanctions on Those Responsible for Repression in Cuba and for Threats to United States National Security and Foreign Policy
This Executive Order expands the existing national emergency against the Government of Cuba by imposing broad secondary sanctions and asset freezes on foreign persons operating in key sectors of the Cuban economy (energy, defense, metals/mining, financial services, security). It authorizes the Treasury and State Departments to block property and deny entry to individuals and entities involved in repression, corruption, or support for the Cuban government, and empowers Treasury to sanction foreign financial institutions that facilitate transactions for designated persons. The order effectively tightens the U.S. embargo by targeting third-country companies and banks that do business with Cuba.
Presidential Permit: Authorizing Bridger Pipeline Expansion LLC to Construct, Connect, Operate, and Maintain Pipeline Facilities at the International Boundary at Phillips County, Montana, Between the United States and Canada
This Presidential Memorandum grants a permit to Bridger Pipeline Expansion LLC to construct and operate a new 36-inch diameter crude oil and petroleum products pipeline crossing the U.S.-Canada border in Montana. The permit authorizes bidirectional flow and variable throughput capacity without requiring further presidential approval, while maintaining existing regulatory oversight from agencies like PHMSA and reserving the government's right to seize the facilities for national security with compensation.
Promoting Efficiency, Accountability, and Performance in Federal Contracting
This executive order mandates that federal agencies default to using fixed-price contracts for procurement, shifting away from cost-reimbursement models. It requires written justification and senior-level approval for any non-fixed-price contract over certain dollar thresholds (e.g., $10M for most agencies, $100M for the Department of War), and directs agencies to review and renegotiate their 10 largest non-fixed-price contracts within 90 days. The order also tasks OMB with implementation guidance and the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council with proposing regulatory amendments within 120 days.
