organization shall file a proposed reliability standard or modification 
to a reliability standard with the Commission.
    ``(2) The Commission may approve a proposed reliability standard or 
modification to a reliability standard if it determines that the 
standard is just, reasonable, not unduly discriminatory or 
preferential, and in the public interest. The Commission shall give due 
weight to the technical expertise of the electric reliability 
organization with respect to the content of a proposed standard or 
modification to a reliability standard, but shall not defer with 
respect to its effect on competition.
    ``(3) The electric reliability organization and the Commission 
shall rebuttably presume that a proposal from a regional entity 
organized on an interconnection-wide basis for a reliability standard 
or modification to a reliability standard to be applicable on an 
interconnection-wide basis is just, reasonable, and not unduly 
discriminatory or preferential, and in the public interest.

electric reliability organization to enter into an agreement to 
delegate authority to a regional entity for the purpose of proposing 
and enforcing reliability standards (including related activities) if 
the regional entity satisfies the provisions of subsection (c)(2) (A) 
and (B) and the agreement promotes effective and efficient 
administration of bulk-power system reliability, and may modify such 
delegation. The electric reliability organization and the Commission 
shall rebuttably presume that a proposal for delegation to a regional 
entity organized on an interconnection-wide basis promotes effective 
and efficient administration of bulk-power system reliability and 
should be approved. Such regulation may provide that the Commission may 
assign the electric reliability organization's authority to enforce 
reliability standards directly to a regional entity consistent with the 
requirements of this paragraph.

regional advisory body on the petition of at least two-thirds of the 
States within a region that have more than one-half of their electric 
load served within the region. A regional advisory body shall be 
composed of one member from each participating State in the region, 
appointed by the Governor of each State, and may include 
representatives of agencies, States, and provinces outside the United 
States. A regional advisory body may provide advice to the electric 
reliability organization, a regional reliability entity, or the 
Commission regarding the governance of an existing or proposed regional 
reliability entity within the same region, whether a standard proposed 
to apply within the region is just, reasonable, not unduly 
discriminatory or preferential, and in the public interest, whether 
fees proposed to be assessed within the region are just, reasonable, 
not unduly discriminatory or preferential, and in the public interest 
and any other responsibilities requested by the Commission. The 
Commission may give deference to the advice of any such regional 
advisory body if that body is organized on an interconnection-wide 
basis.

kilowatt-hour of electric energy the entity generates from the date of 
enactment of this section and in each subsequent calendar year through 
the use of a renewable energy resource at an eligible facility.
    ``(B) For incremental hydropower the credits shall be calculated 
based on the expected increase in average annual generation resulting 
from the efficiency improvements or capacity additions. The number of 
credits shall be calculated using the same water flow information used 
to determine a historic average annual generation baseline for the 
hydroelectric facility and certified by the Secretary or the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission. The calculation of the credits for 
incremental hydropower shall not be based on any operational changes at 
the hydroelectric facility not directly associated with the efficiency 
improvements or capacity additions.
    ``(C) The Secretary shall issue two renewable energy credits for 
each kilowatt-hour of electric energy generated and supplied to the 
grid in that calendar year through the use of a renewable energy 
resource at an eligible facility located on Indian land. For purposes 
of this paragraph, renewable energy generated by biomass cofired with 
other fuels is eligible for two credits only if the biomass was grown 
on the land eligible under this paragraph.
    ``(D) For renewable energy resources produced from a generation 
offset, the Secretary shall issue two renewable energy credits for each 
kilowatt-hour generated.
    ``(E) To be eligible for a renewable energy credit, the unit of 
electric energy generated through the use of a renewable energy 
resource may be sold or may be used by the generator. If both a 
renewable energy resource and a nonrenewable energy resource are used 
to generate the electric energy, the Secretary shall issue credits 
based on the proportion of the renewable energy resource used. The 
Secretary shall identify renewable energy credits by type and date of 
generation.
    ``(5) When a generator sells electric energy generated through the 
use of a renewable energy resource to a retail electric supplier under 
a contract subject to section 210 of this Act, the retail electric 
supplier is treated as the generator of the electric energy for the 
purposes of this section for the duration of the contract.
    ``(6) The Secretary may issue credits for existing facility offsets 
to be applied against a retail electric supplier's own required annual 
percentage. The credits are not tradeable and may only be used in the 
calendar year generation actually occurs.
    ``(e) Credit Trading.--A renewable energy credit may be sold or 
exchanged by the entity to whom issued or by any other entity who 
acquires the credit. A renewable energy credit for any year that is not 
used to satisfy the minimum renewable generation requirement of 
subsection (a) for that year may be carried forward for use within the 
next 4 years.
    ``(f) Credit Borrowing.--At any time before the end of calendar 
year 2005, a retail electric supplier that has reason to believe it 
will not have sufficient renewable energy credits to comply with 
subsection (a) may--
            ``(1) submit a plan to the Secretary demonstrating that the 
        retail electric supplier will earn sufficient credits within 
        the next 3 calendar years which, when taken into account, will 
        enable the retail electric supplier's to meet the requirements 
        of subsection (a) for calendar year 2005 and the subsequent 
        calendar years involved; and
            ``(2) upon the approval of the plan by the Secretary, apply 
        credits that the plan demonstrates will be earned within the 
        next 3 calendar years to meet the requirements of subsection 
        (a) for each calendar year involved.
    ``(g) Credit Cost Cap.--The Secretary shall offer renewable energy 
credits for sale at the lesser of 3 cents per kilowatt-hour or 200 
percent of the average market value of credits for the applicable 
compliance period. On January 1 of each year following calendar year 
2005, the Secretary shall adjust for inflation the price charged per 
credit for such calendar year, based on the Gross Domestic Product 
Implicit Price Deflator.
    ``(h) Enforcement.--The Secretary may bring an action in the 
appropriate United States district court to impose a civil penalty on a 
retail electric supplier that does not comply with subsection (a), 
unless the retail electric supplier was unable to comply with 
subsection (a) for reasons outside of the supplier's reasonable control 
(including weather-related damage, mechanical failure, lack of

        policies on investment under different geological and 
        developmental circumstances, including but not limited to 
        deepwater environments, subsalt formations, deep and deviated 
        wells, coalbed methane and other unconventional oil and gas 
        formations;
            (3) assess the extent to which Federal and State fiscal 
        policies negatively impact the ultimate recovery of resources 
        from existing fields and smaller accumulations in offshore 
        waters, especially in water depths less than 800 meters, of the 
        Gulf of Mexico;
            (4) compare existing Federal and State policies with tax 
        and royalty regimes in other countries with particular emphasis 
        on similar geological, developmental and infrastructure 
        conditions; and
            (5) evaluate how alternative tax and royalty policies, 
        including counter-cyclical measures, could increase recovery of 
        domestic oil and natural gas resources and revenues to Federal, 
        State, local and tribal governments.
    (c) Policy Recommendations.--Based upon the findings of the 
evaluation under subsection (a), a report describing the findings and 
recommendations for policy changes shall be provided to the President, 
the Congress, the Governors of the member States of the Interstate Oil 
and Gas Compact Commission, and Indian tribes having an oil and gas 
lease approved by the Secretary of the Interior. The recommendations 
should ensure that the public interest in receiving the economic 
benefits of tax and royalty revenues is balanced with the broader 
national security and economic interests in maximizing recovery of 
domestic resources. The report should include recommendations regarding 
actions to--
            (1) ensure stable development drilling during periods of 
        low oil and/or natural gas prices to maintain reserve 
        replacement and deliverability;

        climate on the oil and gas service industry and domestic oil 
        and gas exploration and production;
            (3) ensure a consistent level of domestic activity to 
        encourage the education and retention of a technical workforce; 
        and
            (4) maintain production capability during periods of low 
        oil and/or natural gas prices.
    (d) Royalty Guidelines.--The recommendations required under (c) 
should include guidelines for private resource holders as to the 
appropriate level of royalties given geology, development cost, and the 
national interest in maximizing recovery of oil and gas resources.
    (e) Report.--The study under subsection (a) shall be completed not 
later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this section. The 
report and recommendations required in (c) shall be transmitted to the 
President, the Congress, Indian tribes, and the Governors of the member 
States of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission.

SEC. 702. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that:
            (1) Construction of a natural gas pipeline system from the 
        Alaskan North Slope to United States markets is in the national 
        interest and will enhance national energy security by providing 
        access to the significant gas reserves in Alaska needed to meet 
        the anticipated demand for natural gas.
            (2) The Commission issued a conditional certificate of 
        public convenience and necessity for the Alaska Natural Gas 
        Transportation System, which remains in effect.

SEC. 703. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this subtitle are--
            (1) to provide a statutory framework for the expedited 
        approval, construction, and initial operation of an Alaska 
        natural gas transportation project, as an alternative to the 
        framework provided in the Alaska Natural Gas Transportation Act 
        of 1976 (15 U.S.C. 719-719o), which remains in effect;
            (2) to establish a process for providing access to such 
        transportation project in order to promote competition in the 
        exploration, development and production of Alaska natural gas;
            (3) to clarify Federal authorities under the Alaska Natural 
        Gas Transportation Act; and
            (4) to authorize Federal financial assistance to an Alaska 
        natural gas transportation project as provided in this 
        subtitle.

        revisions. The Secretary shall carefully consider the State's 
        proposals and work in consultation with the States and 
        operators to address safety concerns.
            ``(5) Monitoring implementation.--The Secretary of 
        Transportation shall review the risk analysis and program for 
        integrity management required under this section and provide 
        for continued monitoring of such plans. Not later than 2 years 
        after the implementation of integrity management plans under 
        this section, the Secretary shall complete an assessment and 
        evaluation of the effects on safety and the environment of 
        extending all of the requirements mandated by the regulations 
        described in paragraph (1) to additional areas. The Secretary 
        shall submit the assessment and evaluation to Congress along 
        with any recommendations to improve and expand the utilization 
        of integrity management plans.
            ``(6) Opportunity for local input on integrity 
        management.--Within 18 months after the date of enactment of

        he or she has been discharged or otherwise discriminated 
        against by any person in violation of subsection (a) may, not 
        later than 90 days after the date on which such violation 
        occurs, file (or have any person file on his or her behalf) a 
        complaint with the Secretary of Labor alleging such discharge 
        or discrimination. Upon receipt of such a complaint, the 
        Secretary of Labor shall notify, in writing, the person named 
        in the complaint and the Administrator of the Research and

                preliminary order, or both, and request a hearing on 
                the record. The filing of such objections shall not 
                operate to stay any reinstatement remedy contained in 
                the preliminary order. Such hearings shall be conducted 
                expeditiously. If a hearing is not requested in such 
                30-day period, the preliminary order shall be deemed a 
                final order that is not subject to judicial review.

SEC. 775. STATE PIPELINE SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEES.

    Within 90 days after receiving recommendations for improvements to 
pipeline safety from an advisory committee appointed by the Governor of 
any State, the Secretary of Transportation shall respond in writing to 
the committee setting forth what action, if any, the Secretary will 
take on those recommendations and the Secretary's reasons for acting or 
not acting upon any of the recommendations.

SEC. 776. FINES AND PENALTIES.

    The Inspector General of the Department of Transportation shall 
conduct an analysis of the Department's assessment of fines and 
penalties on gas transmission and hazardous liquid pipelines, including 
the cost of corrective actions required by the Department in lieu of

Act, shall provide a report to the Senate Committee on Commerce, 
Science, and Transportation and the House Committee on Transportation 
and Infrastructure on any findings and recommendations for actions by 
the Secretary or Congress to ensure the fines assessed are an effective 
deterrent for reducing safety risks.

SEC. 777. STUDY OF RIGHTS-OF-WAY.

    The Secretary of Transportation is authorized to conduct a study on 
how best to preserve environmental resources in conjunction with 
maintaining pipeline rights-of-way. The study shall recognize pipeline 
operators' regulatory obligations to maintain rights-of-way and to 
protect public safety.

SEC. 778. STUDY OF NATURAL GAS RESERVE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that:
            (1) In the last few months, natural gas prices across the 
        country have tripled.
            (2) In California, natural gas prices have increased 
        twenty-fold, from $3 per million British thermal units to 
        nearly $60 per million British thermal units.
            (3) One of the major causes of these price increases is a 
        lack of supply, including a lack of natural gas reserves.
            (4) The lack of a reserve was compounded by the rupture of 
        an El Paso Natural Gas Company pipeline in Carlsbad, New Mexico 
        on August 1, 2000.
            (5) Improving pipeline safety will help prevent similar 
        accidents that interrupt the supply of natural gas and will 
        help save lives.
            (6) It is also necessary to find solutions for the lack of 
        natural gas reserves that could be used during emergencies.
    (b) Study by the National Academy of Sciences.--The Secretary of 
Energy shall request the National Academy of Sciences to--
            (1) conduct a study to--
                    (A) determine the causes of recent increases in the 
                price of natural gas, including whether the increases 
                have been caused by problems with the supply of natural 
                gas or by problems with the natural gas transmission 
                system;

        national, regional or state basis. Such study shall evaluate 
        renewable fuel supplies and prices, blendstock supplies, and 
        supply and distribution system capabilities. Based on such 
        study, the Secretary shall make specific recommendations to the 
        Administrator regarding waiver of the requirements of paragraph 
        (2), in whole or in part, to avoid any such adverse impacts. 
        Within 270 days from enactment, the Administrator shall, 
        consistent with the recommendations of the Secretary waive, in 
        whole or in part, the renewable fuels requirement under 
        paragraph (2) by reducing the national quantity of renewable 
        fuel required under this subsection in 2004. This provision 
        shall not be interpreted as limiting the Administrator's 
        authority to waive the requirements of paragraph (2) in whole, 
        or in part, under paragraph (7), pertaining to waivers.

                of Energy shall complete for the Administrator a study 
                to determine whether the requirement of paragraph (2) 
                would impose a disproportionate economic hardship on 
                small refineries. For any small refinery that the

assurance of repayment in the form of a performance bond, insurance, 
collateral, or other means acceptable to the Secretary in an amount 
equal to not less than 20 percent of the amount of the loan.
    (h) Guarantee Fee.--The recipient of a loan guarantee under 
subsection (b) shall pay the Secretary an amount determined by the 
Secretary to be sufficient to cover the administrative costs of the 
Secretary relating to the loan guarantee.
    (i) Full Faith and Credit.--The full faith and credit of the United 
States is pledged to the payment of all guarantees made under this 
section. Any such guarantee made by the Secretary shall be conclusive 
evidence of the eligibility of the loan for the guarantee with respect 
to principal and interest. The validity of the guarantee shall be 
incontestable in the hands of a holder of the guaranteed loan.
    (j) Reports.--Until each guaranteed loan under this section has 
been repaid in full, the Secretary shall annually submit to Congress an 
report on the activities of the Secretary under this section.

SEC. 833. AUTHORITY FOR WATER QUALITY PROTECTION FROM FUELS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) since 1979, methyl tertiary butyl ether (referred to in 
        this section as ``MTBE'') has been used nationwide at low 
        levels in gasoline to replace lead as an octane booster or 
        anti-knocking agent;
            (2) Public Law 101-549 (commonly known as the ``Clean Air 
        Act Amendments of 1990'') (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) established 
        a fuel oxygenate standard under which reformulated gasoline 
        must contain at least 2 percent oxygen by weight;
            (3) at the time of the adoption of the fuel oxygen 
        standard, Congress was aware that significant use of MTBE could 
        result from the adoption of that standard, and that the use of 
        MTBE would likely be important to the cost-effective 
        implementation of that program;
            (4) Congress is aware that gasoline and its component 
        additives have leaked from storage tanks, with consequences for 
        water quality;
            (5) the fuel industry responded to the fuel oxygenate 
        standard established by Public Law 101-549 by making 
        substantial investments in--
                    (A) MTBE production capacity; and
                    (B) systems to deliver MTBE-containing gasoline to 
                the marketplace;
            (6) when leaked or spilled into the environment, MTBE may 
        cause serious problems of drinking water quality;
            (7) in recent years, MTBE has been detected in water 
        sources throughout the United States;
            (8) MTBE can be detected by smell and taste at low 
        concentrations;
            (9) while small quantities of MTBE can render water 
        supplies unpalatable, the precise human health effects of MTBE 
        consumption at low levels are yet unknown;
            (10) in the report entitled ``Achieving Clean Air and Clean 
        Water: The Report of the Blue Ribbon Panel on Oxygenates in 
        Gasoline'' and dated September 1999, Congress was urged--
                    (A) to eliminate the fuel oxygenate standard;
                    (B) to greatly reduce use of MTBE; and
                    (C) to maintain the environmental performance of 
                reformulated gasoline;
            (11) Congress has--
                    (A) reconsidered the relative value of MTBE in 
                gasoline; and
                    (B) decided to eliminate use of MTBE as a fuel 
                additive;
            (12) the timeline for elimination of use of MTBE as a fuel 
        additive must be established in a manner that achieves an 
        appropriate balance among the goals of--
                    (A) environmental protection;
                    (B) adequate energy supply; and
                    (C) reasonable fuel prices; and
            (13) it is appropriate for Congress to provide some limited 
        transition assistance--
                    (A) to merchant producers of MTBE who produced MTBE 
                in response to a market created by the oxygenate 
                requirement contained in the Clean Air Act; and
                    (B) for the purpose of mitigating any fuel supply 
                problems that may result from elimination of a widely-
                used fuel additive.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are--
            (1) to eliminate use of MTBE as a fuel oxygenate; and
            (2) to provide assistance to merchant producers of MTBE in 
        making the transition from producing MTBE to producing other 
        fuel additives.
    (c) Authority for Water Quality Protection From Fuels.--Section 
211(c) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7545(c)) is amended--
            (1) in paragraph (1)(A)--
                    (A) by inserting ``fuel or fuel additive or'' after 
                ``Administrator any''; and
                    (B) by striking ``air pollution which'' and 
                inserting ``air pollution, or water pollution, that'';
            (2) in paragraph (4)(B), by inserting ``or water quality 
        protection,'' after ``emission control,''; and
            (3) by adding at the end the following:
            ``(5) Prohibition on use of mtbe.--
                    ``(A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (E), not

                Subtitle E--Rural and Remote Communities

SEC. 941. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Rural and Remote Community 
Fairness Act''.

SEC. 942. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) a modern infrastructure, including energy-efficient 
        housing, electricity, telecommunications, bulk fuel, wastewater 
        and potable water service, is a necessary ingredient of a 
        modern society and development of a prosperous economy;
            (2) the Nation's rural and remote communities face critical 
        social, economic and environmental problems, arising in 
        significant measure from the high cost of infrastructure 
        development in sparsely populated and remote areas, that are 
        not adequately addressed by existing Federal assistance 
        programs;
            (3) in the past, Federal assistance has been instrumental 
        in establishing electric and other utility service in many 
        developing regions of the Nation, and that Federal assistance 
        continues to be appropriate to ensure that electric and other 
        utility systems in rural areas conform with modern standards of 
        safety, reliability, efficiency and environmental protection; 
        and
            (4) the future welfare of the Nation and the well-being of 
        its citizens depend on the establishment and maintenance of 
        viable rural and remote communities as social, economic and 
        political entities.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this subtitle is the development and 
maintenance of viable rural and remote communities through the 
provision of efficient housing, and reasonably priced and 
environmentally sound energy, water, wastewater, and bulk fuel, 
telecommunications and utility services to those communities that do 
not have those services or who currently bear costs of those services 
that are significantly above the national average.

   DIVISION D--INTEGRATION OF ENERGY POLICY AND CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY

                TITLE X--NATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY

                     Subtitle A--Sense of Congress

SEC. 1001. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CLIMATE CHANGE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Evidence continues to build that increases in 
        atmospheric concentrations of man-made greenhouse gases are 
        contributing to global climate change.
            (2) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 
        has concluded that ``there is new and stronger evidence that 
        most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is 
        attributable to human activities'' and that the Earth's average 
        temperature can be expected to rise between 2.5 and 10.4 
        degrees Fahrenheit in this century.
            (3) The National Academy of Sciences confirmed the findings 
        of the IPCC, stating that ``the IPCC's conclusion that most of 
        the observed warming of the last 50 years is likely to have 
        been due to the increase of greenhouse gas concentrations 
        accurately reflects the current thinking of the scientific 
        community on this issue'' and that ``there is general agreement 
        that the observed warming is real and particularly strong 
        within the past twenty years''. The National Academy of 
        Sciences also noted that ``because there is considerable 
        uncertainty in current understanding of how the climate system 
        varies naturally and reacts to emissions of greenhouse gases 
        and aerosols, current estimates of the magnitude of future 
        warming should be regarded as tentative and subject to future 
        adjustments upward or downward''.
            (4) The IPCC has stated that in the last 40 years, the 
        global average sea level has risen, ocean heat content has 
        increased, and snow cover and ice extent have decreased, which 
        threatens to inundate low-lying island nations and coastal 
        regions throughout the world.
            (5) In October 2000, a United States Government report 
        found that global climate change may harm the United States by 
        altering crop yields, accelerating sea-level rise, and 
        increasing the spread of tropical infectious diseases.
            (6) In 1992, the United States ratified the United Nations 
        Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the ultimate 
        objective of which is the ``stabilization of greenhouse gas 
        concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent 
        dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. 
        Such a level should be achieved within a time-frame sufficient 
        to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change, to 
        ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable 
        economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner''.
            (7) The UNFCCC stated in part that the Parties to the 
        Convention are to implement policies ``with the aim of 
        returning . . . to their 1990 levels anthropogenic emissions of 
        carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases'' under the principle 
        that ``policies and measures . . . should be appropriate for 
        the specific conditions of each Party and should be integrated 
        with national development programmes, taking into account that 
        economic development is essential for adopting measures to 
        address climate change''.
            (8) There is a shared international responsibility to 
        address this problem, as industrial nations are the largest 
        historic and current emitters of greenhouse gases and 
        developing nations' emissions will significantly increase in 
        the future.
            (9) The UNFCCC further stated that ``developed country 
        Parties should take the lead in combating climate change and 
        the adverse effects thereof'', as these nations are the largest 
        historic and current emitters of greenhouse gases. The UNFCCC 
        also stated that ``steps required to understand and address 
        climate change will be environmentally, socially and 
        economically most effective if they are based on relevant 
        scientific, technical and economic considerations and 
        continually re-evaluated in the light of new findings in these 
        areas''.
            (10) Senate Resolution 98 of the One Hundred Fifth 
        Congress, which expressed that developing nations must also be 
        included in any future, binding climate change treaty and such 
        a treaty must not result in serious harm to the United States 
        economy, should not cause the United States to abandon its 
        shared responsibility to help reduce the risks of climate 
        change and its impacts. Future international efforts in this 
        regard should focus on recognizing the equitable 
        responsibilities for addressing climate change by all nations, 
        including commitments by the largest developing country 
        emitters in a future, binding climate change treaty.
            (11) It is the position of the United States that it will 
        not interfere with the plans of any nation that chooses to 
        ratify and implement the Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC.
            (12) American businesses need to know how governments 
        worldwide will address the risks of climate change.
            (13) The United States benefits from investments in the 
        research, development and deployment of a range of clean energy 
        and efficiency technologies that can reduce the risks of 
        climate change and its impacts and that can make the United 
        States economy more productive, bolster energy security, create 
        jobs, and protect the environment.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the United States 
Congress that the United States should demonstrate international 
leadership and responsibility in reducing the health, environmental, 
and economic risks posed by climate change by--
            (1) taking responsible action to ensure significant and 
        meaningful reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases from all 
        sectors;
            (2) creating flexible international and domestic 
        mechanisms, including joint implementation, technology 
        deployment, tradable credits for emissions reductions and 
        carbon sequestration projects that will reduce, avoid, and 
        sequester greenhouse gas emissions; and
            (3) participating in international negotiations, including 
        putting forth a proposal to the Conference of the Parties, with 
        the objective of securing United States participation in a 
        future binding climate change Treaty in a manner that is 
        consistent with the environmental objectives of the UNFCCC, 
        that protects the economic interests of the United States, and 
        recognizes the shared international responsibility for 
        addressing climate change, including developing country 
        participation.

House Office and in consultation with the Interagency Task Force, shall 
develop a National Climate Change Strategy, which shall--
            (1) have the long-term goal of stabilization of greenhouse 
        gas concentrations through actions taken by the United States 
        and other nations;
            (2) recognize that accomplishing the long-term goal of the 
        Strategy will take from many decades to more than a century, 
        but acknowledging that significant actions must begin in the 
        near term;
            (3) incorporate the four key elements;
            (4) be developed on the basis of an examination of a broad 
        range of emissions levels and dates for achievement of those 
        levels (including those evaluated by the Intergovernmental 
        Panel on Climate Change and those consistent with United States 
        treaty commitments) that, after taking into account actions by 
        other nations, would achieve the long-term goal of the 
        Strategy;
            (5) consider the broad range of activities and actions that 
        can be taken by United States entities to reduce, avoid, or 
        sequester greenhouse gas emissions both within the United 
        States and in other nations through the use of market 
        mechanisms, which may include, but not be limited to, 
        mitigation activities, terrestrial sequestration, earning 
        offsets through carbon capture or project-based activities, 
        trading of emissions credits in domestic and international 
        markets, and the application of the resulting credits from any 
        of the above within the United States;
            (6) minimize any adverse short-term and long-term social, 
        economic, national security, and environmental impacts, 
        including ensuring that the strategy is developed in an 
        economically and environmentally sound manner;
            (7) incorporate mitigation approaches leading to the 
        development and deployment of advanced technologies and

                                agencies.
            (3) Exemptions from reporting.--
                    (A) In general.--If the Director of the Office of 
                National Climate Change Policy determines under section 
                1108(b) that the reporting requirements under paragraph 
                (1) shall apply to all entities (other than entities 
                exempted by this paragraph), regardless of 
                participation or nonparticipation in the registry, an 
                entity shall be required to submit reports under 
                paragraph (1) only if, in any calendar year after the 
                date of enactment of this Act--
                            (i) the total greenhouse gas emissions of 
                        at least 1 facility owned by the entity exceeds 
                        10,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent 
                        (or such greater quantity as may be established 
                        by a designated agency by regulation); or
                            (ii)(I) the total quantity of greenhouse 
                        gases produced, distributed, or imported by the 
                        entity exceeds 10,000 metric tons of carbon 
                        dioxide equivalent (or such greater quantity as 
                        may be established by a designated agency by 
                        regulation); and
                            (II) the entity is not a feedlot or other 
                        farming operation (as defined in section 101 of 
                        title 11, United States Code).
                    (B) Entities already reporting.--
                            (i) In general.--An entity that, as of the 
                        date of enactment of this Act, is required to 
                        report carbon dioxide emissions data to a 
                        Federal agency shall not be required to re-
                        report that data for the purposes of this 
                        title.
                            (ii) Review of participation.--For the 
                        purpose of section 1108, emissions reported 
                        under clause (i) shall be considered to be 
                        reported by the entity to the registry.
            (4) Provision of verification information by reporting 
        entities.--Each entity that submits a report under this 
        subsection shall provide information sufficient for each 
        designated agency to which the report is submitted to verify, 
        in accordance with measurement and verification methods and 
        standards developed under section 1106, that the greenhouse gas 
        report of the reporting entity--
                    (A) has been accurately reported; and
                    (B) in the case of each voluntary report under 
                paragraph (2), represents--
                            (i) actual reductions in direct greenhouse 
                        gas emissions--
                                    (I) relative to historic emission 
                                levels of the entity; and
                                    (II) net of any increases in--
                                            (aa) direct emissions; and
                                            (bb) indirect emissions 
                                        described in paragraph 
                                        (1)(C)(ii); or
                            (ii) actual increases in net sequestration.
            (5) Failure to submit report.--An entity that participates 
        or has participated in the registry and that fails to submit a 
        report required under this subsection shall be prohibited from 
        including emission reductions reported to the registry in the 
        calculation of the baseline of the entity in future years.
            (6) Independent third-party verification.--To meet the 
        requirements of this section and section 1106, a entity that is 
        required to submit a report under this section may--
                    (A) obtain independent third-party verification; 
                and
                    (B) present the results of the third-party 
                verification to each appropriate designated agency.
            (7) Availability of data.--
                    (A) In general.--The designated agencies shall 
                ensure, to the maximum extent practicable, that 
                information in the database is--
                            (i) published;
                            (ii) accessible to the public; and
                            (iii) made available in electronic format 
                        on the Internet.
                    (B) Exception.--Subparagraph (A) shall not apply in 
                any case in which the designated agencies determine 
                that publishing or otherwise making available 
                information described in that subparagraph poses a risk 
                to national security.
            (8) Data infrastructure.--The designated agencies shall 
        ensure, to the maximum extent practicable, that the database 
        uses, and is integrated with, Federal, State, and regional 
        greenhouse gas data collection and reporting systems in effect 
        as of the date of enactment of this Act.
            (9) Additional issues to be considered.--In promulgating 
        the regulations under section 1104(c)(1) and implementing the 
        database, the designated agencies shall take into consideration 
        a broad range of issues involved in establishing an effective 
        database, including--
                    (A) the appropriate units for reporting each 
                greenhouse gas;
                    (B) the data and information systems and measures 
                necessary to identify, track, and verify greenhouse gas 
                emission reductions in a manner that will encourage the 
                development of private sector trading and exchanges;
                    (C) the greenhouse gas reduction and sequestration 
                methods and standards applied in other countries, as 
                applicable or relevant;
                    (D) the extent to which available fossil fuels, 
                greenhouse gas emissions, and greenhouse gas production 
                and importation data are adequate to implement the 
                database;
                    (E) the differences in, and potential uniqueness 
                of, the facilities, operations, and business and other 
                relevant practices of persons and entities in the 
                private and public sectors that may be expected to 
                participate in the registry; and
                    (F) the need of the registry to maintain valid and 
                reliable information on baselines of entities so that, 
                in the event of any future action by Congress to 
                require entities, individually or collectively, to 
                reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Congress will be 
                able--
                            (i) to take into account that information; 
                        and
                            (ii) to avoid enacting legislation that 
                        penalizes entities for achieving and reporting 
                        reductions.
    (d) Annual Report.--The designated agencies shall jointly publish 
an annual report that--
            (1) describes the total greenhouse gas emissions and 
        emission reductions reported to the database during the year 
        covered by the report;
            (2) provides entity-by-entity and sector-by-sector analyses 
        of the emissions and emission reductions reported;
            (3) describes the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse 
        gases; and
            (4) provides a comparison of current and past atmospheric 
        concentrations of greenhouse gases.

        record of greenhouse gas emissions, emission reductions, 
        sequestration, and atmospheric concentrations for use in the 
        registry.
            (2) Requirements.--The methods and standards developed 
        under paragraph (1) shall address the need for--
                    (A) standardized measurement and verification 
                practices for reports made by all entities 
                participating in the registry, taking into account--
                            (i) protocols and standards in use by 
                        entities desiring to participate in the 
                        registry as of the date of development of the 
                        methods and standards under paragraph (1);
                            (ii) boundary issues, such as leakage and 
                        shifted use;
                            (iii) avoidance of double counting of 
                        greenhouse gas emissions and emission 
                        reductions; and
                            (iv) such other factors as the designated 
                        agencies determine to be appropriate;
                    (B) measurement and verification of actions taken 
                to reduce, avoid, or sequester greenhouse gas 
                emissions;
                    (C) in coordination with the Secretary of 
                Agriculture, measurement of the results of the use of 
                carbon sequestration and carbon recapture technologies,

                            (i) organic soil carbon sequestration 
                        practices; and
                            (ii) forest preservation and reforestation 
                        activities that adequately address the issues 
                        of permanence, leakage, and verification;
                    (D) such other measurement and verification 
                standards as the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary 
                of Agriculture, the Administrator, and the Secretary of 
                Energy determine to be appropriate; and
                    (E) other factors that, as determined by the 
                designated agencies, will allow entities to adequately 
                establish a fair and reliable measurement and reporting 
                system.
    (b) Review and Revision.--The designated agencies shall 
periodically review, and revise as necessary, the methods and standards 
developed under subsection (a).

        in coordination with the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of 
        Agriculture, and the Administrator, adopt the methods and 
        standards developed under subsection (a) for use in 
        implementing the database.
    (d) Experts and Consultants.--
            (1) In general.--The designated agencies may obtain the 
        services of experts and consultants in the private and 
        nonprofit sectors in accordance with section 3109 of title 5, 
        United States Code, in the areas of greenhouse gas measurement, 
        certification, and emission trading.
            (2) Available arrangements.--In obtaining any service 
        described in paragraph (1), the designated agencies may use any 
        available grant, contract, cooperative agreement, or other

       DIVISION E--ENHANCING RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND TRAINING

          TITLE XII--ENERGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

SEC. 1201. SHORT TITLE.

    This division may be cited as the ``Energy Science and Technology 
Enhancement Act of 2003''.

SEC. 1202. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) A coherent national energy strategy requires an energy 
        research and development program that supports basic energy 
        research and provides mechanisms to develop, demonstrate, and 
        deploy new energy technologies in partnership with industry.
            (2) An aggressive national energy research, development, 
        demonstration, and technology deployment program is an integral 
        part of a national climate change strategy, because it can 
        reduce--
                    (A) United States energy intensity by 1.9 percent 
                per year from 1999 to 2020;
                    (B) United States energy consumption in 2020 by 8 
                quadrillion Btu from otherwise expected levels; and
                    (C) United States carbon dioxide emissions from 
                expected levels by 166 million metric tons in carbon 
                equivalent in 2020.
            (3) An aggressive national energy research, development, 
        demonstration, and technology deployment program can help 
        maintain domestic United States production of energy, increase 
        United States hydrocarbon reserves by 14 percent, and lower 
        natural gas prices by 20 percent, compared to estimates for 
        2020.
            (4) An aggressive national energy research, development, 
        demonstration, and technology deployment program is needed if

Production States to implement approved State plans to provide security 
against hostile and natural threats to critical OCS energy 
infrastructure facilities and support of any necessary public service 
or transportation activities that are needed to maintain the safety and 
operation of critical energy infrastructure activities. For purposes of 
this program, restoration of any coastal wetland shall be considered to 
be an activity that secures critical OCS energy infrastructure 
facilities from a natural threat.
    (c) State Plans.--
            (1) Initial plan.--Not later than 180 days after the date 
        of enactment of this Act, to be eligible to receive funds under 
        the program, the Governor of an OCS Production State shall 
        submit to the Secretary a plan to provide security against 
        hostile and natural threats to critical energy infrastructure 
        facilities in the OCS Production State and to support any of 
        the necessary public service or transportation activities that 
        are needed to maintain the safety and operation of critical 
        energy infrastructure facilities. Such plan shall include--
                    (A) the name of the State agency that will have the 
                authority to represent and act for the State in dealing 
                with the Secretary for purposes of this section;
                    (B) a program for the implementation of the plan

                and description of how such political subdivisions will 
                use amounts provided under this section, including a 
                certification by the Governor that such uses are 
                consistent with the requirements of this section; and
                    (D) measures for taking into account other relevant 
                Federal resources and programs.
            (2) Annual reviews.--Not later than 1 year after the date 
        of submission of the plan and annually thereafter, the Governor 
        of an OCS Production State shall--
                    (A) review the approved State plan; and
                    (B) submit to the Secretary any revised State plan 
                resulting from the review.
            (3) Approval of plans.--
                    (A) In general.--In consultation with appropriate 
                Federal security officials and the Secretaries of 
                Commerce and Energy, the Secretary shall--
                            (i) approve each State plan; or
                            (ii) recommend changes to the State plan.
                    (B) Resubmission of state plans.--If the Secretary 
                recommends changes to a State plan under subparagraph 
                (A)(ii), the Governor of the OCS Production State may 
                resubmit a revised State plan to the Secretary for 
                approval.
            (4) Availability of plans.--The Secretary shall provide to 
        Congress a copy of each approved State plan.
            (5) Consultation and public comment.--
                    (A) Consultation.--The Governor of an OCS 
                Production State shall develop the State plan in 
                consultation with Federal, State, and local law 
                enforcement and public safety officials, industry, 
                Indian tribes, the scientific community, and other 
                persons as appropriate.
                    (B) Public comment.--The Governor of an OCS 
                Production State may solicit public comments on the 
                State plan to the extent that the Governor determines 
                to be appropriate.
    (d) Allocation of Amounts by the Secretary.--The Secretary shall 
allocate the amounts made available for the purposes of carrying out 
the program provided for by this section among OCS Production States as 
follows:
            (1) twenty-five percent of the amounts shall be divided 
        equally among OCS Production States.
            (2) seventy-five percent of the amounts shall be divided 
        among OCS Production States on the basis of the proximity of 
        each OCS Production State to offshore locations at which oil 
        and gas are being produced.
    (e) Calculation.--The amount for each OCS Production State under 
paragraph (d)(2) shall be calculated based on the ratio of qualified 
OCS revenues generated off the coastline of the OCS Production State to 
the qualified OCS revenues generated off the coastlines of all OCS 
Production States for the prior 5-year period. Where there is more than 
one OCS Production State within 200 miles of a leased tract, the amount 
of each OCS Production State's payment under paragraph (d)(2) for such 
leased tract shall be inversely proportional to the distance between 
the nearest point on the coastline of such State and the geographic 
center of each leased tract or portion of the leased tract (to the 
nearest whole mile) that is within 200 miles of that coastline, as 
determined by the Secretary. A leased tract or portion of a leased 
tract shall be excluded if the tract or portion is located in a 
geographic area where a moratorium on new leasing was in effect on 
January 1, 2001, unless the lease was issued prior to the establishment 
of the moratorium and was in production on January 1, 2001.
    (f) Payments to OCS Political Subdivisions.--Thirty-five percent of 
each OCS Production State's allocable share as determined under 
subsection (e) shall be paid directly to the OCS political subdivisions 
by the Secretary based on the following formula:
            (1) twenty-five percent shall be allocated based on the 
        ratio of such OCS political subdivision's population to the 
        population of all OCS political subdivisions in the OCS 
        Production State.
            (2) twenty-five percent shall be allocated based on the 
        ratio of such OCS political subdivision's coastline miles to 
        the coastline miles of all OCS political subdivisions in the 
        OCS Production State. For purposes of this subsection, those 
        OCS political subdivisions without coastlines shall be 
        considered to have a coastline that is the average length of 
        the coastlines of all political subdivisions in the State.
            (3) fifty percent shall be allocated based on the relative 
        distance of such OCS political subdivision from any leased 
        tract used to calculate that OCS Production State's allocation 
        using ratios that are inversely proportional to the distance 
        between the point in the coastal political subdivision closest 
        to the geographic center of each leased tract or portion, as 
        determined by the Secretary. For purposes of the calculations 
        under this subparagraph, a leased tract or portion of a leased 
        tract shall be excluded if the leased tract or portion is 
        located in a geographic area where a moratorium on new leasing 
        was in effect on January 1, 2001, unless the lease was issued 
        prior to the establishment of the moratorium and was in 
        production on January 1, 2001.
    (g) Failure To Have Plan Approved.--Any amount allocated to an OCS 
Production State or OCS political subdivision but not disbursed because 
of a failure to have an approved Plan under this section shall be 
allocated equally by the Secretary among all other OCS Production 
States in a manner consistent with this subsection except that the 
Secretary shall hold in escrow such amount until the final resolution 
of any appeal regarding the disapproval of a plan submitted under this 
section. The Secretary may waive the provisions of this paragraph and 
hold an OCS Production State's allocable share in escrow if the 
Secretary determines that such State is making a good faith effort to 
develop and submit, or update, a Plan.
    (h) Use of Amounts Allocated by the Secretary.--
            (1) In general.--Amounts allocated by the Secretary under 
        subsection (d) may be used only in accordance with a plan 
        approved pursuant to subsection (c) for--
                    (A) activities to secure critical OCS energy 
                infrastructure facilities from human or natural 
                threats; and
                    (B) support of any necessary public service or 
                transportation activities that are needed to maintain 
                the safety and operation of critical OCS energy 
                infrastructure facilities.
            (2) Restoration of coastal wetland.--For the purpose of 
        subparagraph (1)(A), restoration of any coastal wetland shall 
        be considered to be an activity that secures critical OCS 
        energy infrastructure facilities from a natural threat.
    (i) Failure To Have Use.--Any amount allocated to an OCS political 
subdivision but not disbursed because of a failure to have a qualifying 
use as described in subsection (h) shall be allocated by the Secretary 
to the OCS Production State in which the OCS political subdivision is 
located except that the Secretary shall hold in escrow such amount 
until the final resolution of any appeal regarding the use of the 
funds.
    (j) Compliance With Authorized Uses.--If the Secretary determines 
that any expenditure made by an OCS Production State or an OCS 
political subdivision is not consistent with the uses authorized in 
subsection (h), the Secretary shall not disburse any further amounts 
under this section to that OCS Production State or OCS political 
subdivision until the amounts used for the inconsistent expenditure 
have been repaid or obligated for authorized uses.
    (k) Rulemaking.--The Secretary may promulgate such rules and 
regulations as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this 
section, including rules and regulations setting forth an appropriate 
process for appeals.
    (l) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are hereby authorized 
to be appropriated $450,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2003 
through 2008 to carry out the purposes of this section.

Import Restriction Act of 2003''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) the Government of the Republic of Iraq--
                    (A) has failed to comply with the terms of United 
                Nations Security Council Resolution 687 regarding 
                unconditional Iraqi acceptance of the destruction, 
                removal, or rendering harmless, under international 
                supervision, of all nuclear, chemical and biological 
                weapons and all stocks of agents and all related 
                subsystems and components and all research, 
                development, support and manufacturing facilities, as 
                well as all ballistic missiles with a range greater 
                than 150 kilometers and related major parts, and repair 
                and production facilities and has failed to allow 
                United Nations inspectors access to sites used for the 
                production or storage of weapons of mass destruction;
                    (B) routinely contravenes the terms and. conditions 
                of UNSC Resolution 661, authorizing the export of 
                petroleum products from Iraq in exchange for food, 
                medicine and other humanitarian products by conducting 
                a routine and extensive program to sell such products 
                outside of the channels established by UNSC Resolution 
                661 in exchange for military equipment and materials to 
                be used in pursuit of its program to develop weapons of 
                mass destruction in order to threaten the United States 
                and its allies in the Persian Gulf and surrounding 
                regions;
                    (C) has failed to adequately draw down upon the 
                amounts received in the Escrow Account established by 
                UNSC Resolution 986 to purchase food, medicine and 
                other humanitarian products required by its citizens, 
                resulting in massive humanitarian suffering by the 
                Iraqi people;
                    (D) conducts a periodic and systematic campaign to 
                harass and obstruct the enforcement of the United 
                States- and United Kingdom-enforced ``No-Fly Zones'' in 
                effect in the Republic of Iraq;
                    (E) routinely manipulates the petroleum export 
                production volumes permitted under UNSC Resolution 661 
                in order to create uncertainty in global energy 
                markets, and therefore threatens the economic security 
                of the United States;
                    (F) pays bounties to the families of suicide 
                bombers in order to encourage the murder of Israeli 
                civilians;
            (2) further imports of petroleum products from the Republic 
        of Iraq are inconsistent with the national security and foreign 
        policy interests of the United States and should be eliminated
