-STATUTE-
      The Congress finds that - 
        (1) domestic geothermal reserves can be developed into
      regionally significant energy sources promoting the economic
      health and national security of the Nation;
        (2) there are institutional and economic barriers to the
      commercialization of geothermal technology; and
        (3) Federal agencies should consider the use of geothermal
      energy in the Government's buildings.

    Sec. 1511. Loans for geothermal reservoir confirmation

-STATUTE-
    (a) Authorization; purposes
      The Secretary of Energy (hereafter in this chapter referred to as
    the "Secretary") is authorized to make a loan to any person, from
    funds appropriated (pursuant to this subchapter) to the Geothermal
    Resources Development Fund established under section 1144 of this
    title, to assist such person in undertaking and carrying out a
    project which (1) is designed to explore for or determine the
    economic viability of a geothermal reservoir and (2) consists of
    surface exploration and the drilling of one or more exploratory
    wells.
    (b) Repayment rates
      Subject to subsection (c) of this section and to section 1513(b)
    of this title, any loan under subsection (a) of this section shall
    be repayable out of revenue from production of the geothermal
    energy reservoir with respect to which the loan was made, at a
    rate, in any year, not to exceed 20 per centum of the gross revenue
    from the reservoir in that year; except that if any disposition of
    the geothermal rights to the reservoir is made to one or more other
    persons by the borrower, the full amount of the loan balance
    outstanding, or so much of the loan balance outstanding as is equal
    to the full amount of the compensation realized by the borrower
    upon such disposition, whichever is less, shall be repaid
    immediately. In any case where the reservoir is confirmed (as
    determined by the Secretary), the Secretary may impute a reasonable
    revenue for purposes of determining repayment if - 
        (1) reasonable efforts are not made to put such reservoir in
      commercial operation,
        (2) the borrower (or any such other person) utilizes the
      resources of the reservoir without a sale of the energy or
      geothermal energy resources therefrom, or
        (3) a sale of energy or geothermal energy resources from the
      reservoir is made for an unreasonably low price;

    except that no such imputation of revenue shall be made during the
    three-year period immediately following such reservoir
    confirmation. In the event of failure to begin production of
    revenue (or, where no sale of energy or geothermal energy resources
    is made, to begin production of energy for commercial use) within
    five years after the date of such reservoir confirmation, the
    Secretary may take action to recover the value, not to exceed the
    amount of the unpaid balance of the loan plus any accrued interest
    thereon, of any assets of the project in question, including
    resource rights.
    (c) Cancellation of unpaid balance and accrued interest
      The Secretary may at any time cancel the unpaid balance and any
    accrued interest on any loan made under this section if he
    determines, on the basis of evidence presented by the loan
    recipient or otherwise, that the geothermal energy reservoir with
    respect to which the loan was made has characteristics which make
    that reservoir economically or technically unacceptable for
    commercial development.
    (d) "Person" defined
      As used in this subchapter, the term "person" includes
    municipalities, electric cooperatives, industrial development
    agencies, nonprofit organizations, and Indian tribes, as well as
    the entities included within such term under section 1 of title 1.

    (at the time the loan is made) for water resources planning
    projects under section 80 of the Water Resources Development Act of
    1974 (42 U.S.C. 1962(d)-17(a)).(!1)

      (b) Each such loan shall be for a term which the Secretary deems
    appropriate, except that no loan term shall exceed twenty years
    beyond the date on which production of energy or geothermal energy
    resources begins from the reservoir involved. If revenues are
    inadequate (as determined by the Secretary) to fully repay the
    principal and accrued interest within twenty years after production
    begins, any remaining unpaid amounts shall be forgiven.

    Sec. 1522. Establishment of program

-STATUTE-
    (a) Authorization; requirements; scope
      If the report of the Secretary submitted pursuant to section 1521
    of this title affirmatively recommends the establishment of the
    program and the Congress by law (after review of such
    recommendation) specifically authorizes the establishment of the
    program, the Secretary shall establish and implement within six
    months after the date of the enactment of such authorization a
    program, in cooperation with the insurance and reinsurance
    industry, to provide reservoir insurance to qualified eligible
    applicants in accordance with this section.
    (b) Definitions
      For the purpose of this section - 
        (1) the term "investment" means the expenditure of, and any
      irrevocable legal obligation to expend, funds (together with the
      reasonable interest costs thereof) for the purchase or
      construction of machinery, equipment, and facilities
      manufactured, or for services contracted to be furnished, for the
      development and utilization of a geothermal resource in the
      United States to provide energy in the form of heat for direct
      use or for generation of electricity;
        (2) the term "geothermal resource" means a resource in the
      United States including (A) all products of geothermal processes
      embracing indigenous steam, hot water, and hot brines; (B) steam
      and other gases, hot water and hot brines resulting from water,
      gas, or other fluids artificially introduced into geothermal
      formations; (C) heat or other associated energy found in
      geothermal formations; and (D) any byproducts derived from them,
      where "byproduct" means any mineral or minerals (exclusive of
      oil, hydrocarbon gas, and helium) which are found in solution or
      in association with other geothermal resources and which have a
      value of less than 75 per centum of the value of the geothermal
      steam or are not, because of quantity, quality, or technical
      difficulties in extraction and production, of sufficient value to
      warrant extraction and production by themselves;
        (3) the term "risk" means the hazard that a reservoir of
      geothermal resources will cease to provide sufficient quantities
      of geothermal resources at minimum conditions required to
      maintain an economically or technically viable operation for
      utilization of the geothermal resource;
        (4) the term "reasonable premiums" means premium amounts
      determined by the Secretary to be reasonable in light of the
      amount of investment subject to the risk and premiums charged in
      similar or analogous situations by private insurers where private
      insurance is concerned and by insurers or guarantors, both public
      and private, where public insurance is concerned;
        (5) the term "other insurance" means any combination of private
      or public insurance other than investment insurance provided by
      the Secretary under this section;
        (6) the term "reservoir" means the physical subsurface geologic
      structure which forms the natural repository for the undisturbed
      geothermal resource; and
        (7) the term "person" means any public or private agency,
      institution, association, partnership, corporation, political
      subdivision, or other legal entity which is a United States
      citizen as determined by application of the test for United
      States citizenship contained in section 50501 of title 46, or in
      the first sentence of section 27A of the Merchant Marine Act,
      1920 (46 U.S.C. 883-1(a)-(e)).(!1)

    (c) Eligibility for investment insurance
      Any person with a total direct investment of not less than
    $1,000,000 in the development and use, not including exploration
    and testing, of a geothermal resource associated with a reservoir,
    and unable to obtain other insurance at reasonable premiums for the
    amount of the investment subject to risk, as determined by the
    Secretary under this section, shall be eligible for investment
    insurance.
    (d) Application for investment insurance; contents, etc.
      Any eligible person seeking investment insurance under this
    section shall file an application with the Secretary setting forth
    (1) the total amount of the contemplated investment in a geothermal
    resource and associated reservoir; (2) the views of the applicant
    concerning the nature and extent of the risk, including a geologic,
    engineering, and financial assessment based on site specific
    results of exploration and testing of the geothermal resource and
    the reservoir, stated with as much specificity as is possible; (3)
    the status of all required Federal, State, and local approvals,
    permits, and leases for the proposed development and utilization
    operations at the site; (4) the extent to which the applicant has
    been able to obtain other insurance against the risk; and (5) such
    other information as the Secretary may require.
    (e) Determinations respecting application for insurance
      Unless the Secretary determines the risk proposed by the
    applicant is unreasonable, the Secretary, within ninety days after
    receipt of a satisfactory application, shall determine in writing
    and submit to the applicant (1) the risk which may cause loss of
    investment for the applicant; (2) the total investment subject to
    the risk; (3) the amount of the other insurance which is available
    at reasonable premiums for the purpose of indemnifying the
    applicant against the risk; (4) the amount of investment insurance
    available pursuant to this section, which shall be the difference
    between the total investment subject to the risk and the total
    other insurance determined to be available at reasonable premiums,
    but not in excess of the lesser of 90 per centum of, or $50,000,000
    of, the loss of investment subject to the risk; and (5) any
    reasonable terms and conditions necessary for the prudent
    administration of the program, including reasonable premiums for
    the insurance pursuant to this section (which shall be deposited in
    the Geothermal Resources Development Fund).
    (f) Certificate of insurance; issuance, etc.
      The Secretary, within ninety days after making and submitting the
    determinations under subsection (e) of this section, and upon
    agreement of the applicant to such determinations, shall issue a
    certificate of insurance containing such terms and conditions as
    the Secretary shall specify, which shall not be transferrable
    without the express approval of the Secretary for good cause shown,
    and shall execute a contract with the applicant setting forth the
    terms and conditions of the investment insurance and such other
    provisions as may be necessary to protect the interests of the
    United States, including provisions with respect to the ownership,
    use, and disposition of any currency, credits, assets, or
    investments on account of which payment under such insurance is to
    be made and any right, title, claim, or course of action existing
    in relation thereto.
    (g) Compensation payable to holder of certificate of insurance;
      amount, etc.
      Any holder of a certificate of insurance pursuant to subsection
    (f) of this section who claims a loss of value of his investment by
    reason of the specified risk shall receive compensation, to the
    extent the Secretary determines that the holder is eligible to
    receive compensation pursuant to the certificate and the contract,
    in the amount of the loss incurred by the holder which is subject
    to insurance and for which the holder has not received and will not
    receive compensation from other insurance.
    (h) Withdrawal and payment of compensation
      Any compensation received by the holder shall be withdrawn from
    the Geothermal Resources Development Fund. The full faith and
    credit of the United States is hereby pledged to the payment of any
    compensation under this section.
    (i) Denial of insurance
      A person shall not be denied insurance pursuant to this section
    solely because such person is the recipient of other Federal
    assistance under this or any other Act.
    (j) Appropriations
      There may be appropriated to the Geothermal Resources Development
    Fund (established pursuant to section 1144 of this title), for
    purposes of this section, such amounts as are authorized for such
    purposes in the law referred to in subsection (a) of this section
    or in other legislation hereafter enacted.
    (k) Reinsurance agreements; procedures applicable; criteria; report
      to Congress
      The Secretary may enter into agreements to reinsure any private
    insurer for any risk associated with insurance for the development
    and utilization of a geothermal resource and associated reservoir,
    using the procedures set forth in subsections (c) through (i) of
    this section, to the extent that he deems it appropriate in order
    to provide an incentive for the participation of the private
    insurance industry in geothermal development; and he may also use
    any other available authority to obtain such participation. The
    Secretary shall submit a report to the Congress, within one year
    after the enactment of the law referred to in subsection (a) of
    this section, on the need for any additional authority to obtain
