Dividend Act of 2019''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) efficient markets strengthen our economy and benefit 
        our Nation by encouraging competition, innovation, and 
        technological progress;
            (2) efficient markets should reflect all costs of goods to 
        ensure that they advance America's prosperity and national 
        interests;
            (3) emissions of carbon pollution and other harmful 
        pollutants into our Nation's air impose substantial costs on 
        all Americans and on future generations; and
            (4) creation of a Carbon Dividend Trust Fund, to be 
        distributed to the American people, will make markets more

    ``(a) Generally.--The Secretary in consultation with the 
Administrator shall prescribe regulations and guidance which implement 
the carbon border fee adjustment under section 9908.

emissions of an imported carbon-intensive product, the upstream 
greenhouse gas emissions of an imported covered fuel, the full fuel 
cycle greenhouse gas emissions of an imported covered fuel, or the 
foreign cost of carbon, or otherwise administering the carbon border 
fee adjustment, it is the sense of Congress that the Secretary should 
collaborate with authorized officers of any jurisdiction, including 
sub-national governments, affected by the carbon border fee adjustment.
    ``(c) Methodology.--In determining the production greenhouse gas 
emissions of an imported carbon-intensive product, the upstream 
greenhouse gas emissions of an imported covered fuel, the full fuel 
cycle greenhouse gas emissions of an imported covered fuel, or the 
foreign cost of carbon, the Secretary shall use reliable methodologies, 
which--
            ``(1) as may be necessary or convenient--
                    ``(A) distinguish between different types of 
                covered fuels,

                greenhouse gas emissions which compose a carbon-
                intensive product's production greenhouse gas 
                emissions, as well as the various processes which 
                produced those emissions,
            ``(2) ensure that no covered fuel, covered fluorinated 
        greenhouse gas, or carbon-intensive product has the carbon fee, 
        the fluorinated greenhouse gas fee, or the border fee 
        adjustment imposed upon it more than once,
            ``(3) ensure that the implementation of the border carbon 
        adjustment aligns with the carbon fee and the fluorinated gas 
        fee,
            ``(4) in the case of incomplete data, rely upon the best 
        available methodologies for interpolating data gaps, and
            ``(5) are consistent with international treaties and 
        agreements.
    ``(d) Schedule.--The Secretary shall determine--
            ``(1) not later than 3 years after the date of the 
        enactment of this section, the production greenhouse gas 
        emissions of imported carbon-intensive products,

        enactment of this section, the full fuel cycle greenhouse gas 
        emissions and the upstream greenhouse gas emissions of every 
        imported covered fuel, and
            ``(3) not later than 3 years after the date of the 
        enactment of this section, the foreign cost of carbon in all 
        jurisdictions.
    ``(e) Procedure.--The Secretary shall establish fair, timely, 
impartial, and as necessary confidential procedures by which the 
importer of any carbon-intensive product or any covered fuel may 
petition the Secretary to revise the Secretary's determination of the 
production greenhouse gas emissions, full fuel cycle greenhouse gas 
emissions, or upstream greenhouse gas emissions of that importer's 
imported covered fuel or imported carbon-intensive product, or the 
foreign cost of carbon carried by that importer's imported carbon-
intensive product.
    ``(f) Shipments From the United States to the Territories of the 
United States.--Notwithstanding any other treaty, law, or policy, 
shipments of covered fuels or carbon-intensive products from the United 
States to Guam, the United States Virgin Islands, Samoa, Puerto Rico, 
and the Northern Mariana Islands shall be eligible for a refund of the 
carbon fee under section 9908(e).
    ``(g) Imports to the Territories of the United States.--
Notwithstanding any other treaty, law, or policy, imports of covered 
fuels or carbon-intensive products to Guam, the United States Virgin 
Islands, Samoa, Puerto Rico, and the Northern Mariana Islands shall not 
be subject to Section 9908(c) or 9908(d).''

        payments.--No credit shall be allowed under this section to a 
        taxpayer which has received any payment under section 9906.''.
    (c) Treaties and International Negotiations.--
            (1) Conformance with international treaties.--In the case 
        that the Appellate Body of the World Trade Organization, or any 
        other authoritative international treaty interpreter, shall 
        find any portion of the carbon border fee adjustment under 
        chapter 102 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to violate any 
        treaty to which the United States is a party, the Secretary of 
        the Treasury is authorized to alter any aspect of such carbon 
        border fee adjustment so as to bring the carbon border fee 
        adjustment into conformance with international law.
            (2) International negotiations.--The Congress finds the 
        international mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions to be of 
        national importance. Therefore, the Congress encourages the 
        Secretary of State, or the Secretary's designee, to commence 
        and complete negotiations with other nations with the goal of 
        forming treaties, environmental agreements, accords, 
        partnerships or any other instrument that effectively reduces 
        global greenhouse gas emissions to 10 percent of 2016 levels by 
        2050 and which respect the principle of common but 
        differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities.
            (3) Suspension of the carbon border fee adjustment.--Any 
        part of the carbon border fee adjustment shall be suspended, in 
        whole or in part,--
                    (A) by treaty or other international agreement 
                which includes provisions for the suspension of the 
                carbon border fee adjustment, in whole or in part, with 
                any party signatory to the treaty or other 
                international agreement, or
                    (B) by a finding of the Secretary that a 
                jurisdiction of importation has implemented policies 
                which, in the case of high emitting countries, reduce 
                greenhouse gas emissions at a rate at least equivalent 
                to United States greenhouse gas emission reductions, 
                or, in the case of low emitting countries, prevent the 
                increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
        Any such finding shall be reviewed at least every 3 years and 
        amended or revoked as required.
