        <text><![CDATA[ <p><b>Energy Distribution Act of 2015</b> </p> <p>This bill requires the Department of Energy (DOE) to collaborate with other federal agencies to improve the conceptual development of energy security, considering at a minimum: </p> <ul> <li> development of flexible, transparent, and competitive energy markets, including natural gas and oil markets; </li> <li> diversification of energy fuels, sources, and routes; and </li> <li> encouragement of indigenous sources of energy supply.</li> </ul> <p>DOE must: (1) lead an interagency effort to improve and coordinate data collection and analytical and modeling capabilities for energy distribution on shared energy infrastructure; and (2) coordinate the training of, and enhanced dialogue among, technical staff in federal agencies responsible for cross-border energy projects evaluation and implementation.</p> <p> The Energy Information Administration must collaborate with officials in Canada and Mexico to improve:</p> <ul> <li>the quality and transparency of North American energy data through reconciliation of data on energy trade flows among the U.S., Canada, and Mexico;</li> <li>the extension of energy mapping capabilities in those countries; and</li> <li>the development of common energy data terminology among the three nations. </li> </ul>]]></text>
