Plain-English Summary

The proposal would restrict or prohibit oil and gas drilling activities in coastal waters off the United States, protecting marine environments and coastal communities from potential environmental damage and spills. This would affect energy companies that operate offshore drilling operations, as well as coastal residents, fishing industries, and tourism businesses that depend on clean ocean waters.
