(c) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the policy of the 
United States— 
(1) to increase energy security by decreasing 
energy reliance on corrupt foreign governments; 
(2) to promote global energy security through 
promotion of programs such as EITI that seek to in-
still transparency and accountability into extractive 
industries resource payments. 
(d) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that the United States should further global energy 
security and promote democratic development in resource- 
rich foreign countries by— 
(1) encouraging further participation in the Ex-
tractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) 
by eligible countries and companies; 
(2) promoting the efficacy of the EITI program 
by ensuring a robust and candid review mechanism; 
(3) establishing a domestic reporting require-
ment for all companies that purchase natural re-
sources from or make payments to government offi-
cials or entities connected with the extraction of 
such resources so that citizens can monitor expendi-
tures by government officials to ensure account-
ability for illicit diversion and wasteful use of reve-
nues received; and
(4) seeking to establish an international report-
ing requirement similar to the reporting requirement 
described in paragraph (3) in order to ensure that 
all international companies and foreign countries are 
competing and cooperating on a level playing field. 
(e) REPORT.— 
(1) REPORT REQUIRED.—Not later than 180 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and 
annually thereafter, the Secretary of State shall sub-
mit to Congress a report on progress made in pro-
moting transparency in extractive industries re-
source payments. 
(2) MATTERS TO BE INCLUDED.—The report 
required by paragraph (1) shall include a detailed 
description of United States participation in the Ex-
tractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), 
bilateral and multilateral diplomatic efforts to fur-
ther participation in the EITI, and other United 
States initiatives to strengthen energy security, deter 
energy kleptocracy, and promote transparency in the 
extractive industries.

SEC. 2201. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Several provisions of the Energy Policy Act 
of 1992 were designed to expand Federal programs 
that support renewable energy and energy efficient 
equipment exports and to broaden the portfolio of 
programs to include training and technology transfer 
activities that help promote development in less in-
dustrialized nations, expand global markets, and re-
duce greenhouse gas emissions. However, few of the 
export-related provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 
1992 were implemented due to a lack of Federal 
funding. 
(2) In 2000, Congress called for several United 
States Government agencies to create an Inter-
agency Working Group to support a Clean Energy 
Technology Exports Initiative to use the combined 
resources of various agencies to promote the export 
of clean energy technologies abroad. The Initiative 
also suffered from low levels of Federal funding and 
has not produced significant results.
(3) Large and emerging economies, such as 
India and China, play significant roles in the global 
energy security system as large consumers of energy 
and should be included as member countries in the 
International Energy Agency to strengthen the com-
mon interest of importers in encouraging trans-
parent energy markets and in planning for supply 
disruptions. 
(4) The challenge of energy security severely af-
fects developing countries where over 1.6 billion peo-
ple lack access to affordable energy services. In 
these nations, a lack of transparency and account-
ability creates a climate of mistrust for investors; bi-
lateral and multilateral lending institutions do not 
provide sufficient incentives to companies investing 
in clean and efficient energy technologies; women 
and children suffer disproportionately due to the 
lack of energy services; inaccessibility of energy serv-
ices impedes other development programs in edu-
cation, health, agriculture, and the environment; and 
dependence on imported fuels leaves countries vul-
nerable to supply disruptions and economic shocks. 
(5) In addition to promoting the export of clean 
energy technologies, large energy-consuming econo-
mies must also have appropriate incentive systems,
policy and regulatory frameworks, and investment 
climates in place to accept and promote the adoption 
of such technologies. 
(6) More than $16 trillion needs to be invested 
in energy-supply infrastructure worldwide by 2030 
to meet energy demand, and almost half of total en-
ergy investment will take place in developing coun-
tries, where production and demand are expected to 
increase the most. 
(7) Public and private sector capital will be 
needed to fulfill future demand. The opportunity ex-
ists for public and private actors to coordinate ef-
forts and leverage resources to direct this investment 
into technologies, practices, and services that pro-
mote energy efficiency, clean-energy production, and 
a reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions. 
(8) In attempting to address the global climate 
change challenge, the United States Government re-
cently launched the Asia Pacific Partnership on 
Clean Development and Climate, which is meant to 
accelerate the development and deployment of clean 
energy technologies. However, this Partnership oper-
ates in a non-binding framework that does not re-
quire any emissions reductions from the partner 
countries.
SEC. 2202. UNITED STATES ASSISTANCE FOR DEVELOPING 
COUNTRIES. 
(a) ASSISTANCE AUTHORIZED.—The Administrator 
of the United States Agency for International Develop-
ment shall support policies and programs in developing 
countries that promote clean and efficient energy tech-
nologies— 
(1) to produce the necessary market conditions 
for the private sector delivery of energy and environ-
mental management services; 
(2) to create an environment that is conducive 
to accepting clean and efficient energy technologies 
that support the overall purpose of reducing green-
house gas emissions, including— 
(A) improving policy, legal, and regulatory 
frameworks; 
(B) increasing institutional abilities to pro-
vide energy and environmental management 
services; and 
(C) increasing public awareness and par-
ticipation in the decision-making of delivering 
energy and environmental management services; 
and 
(3) to promote the use of American-made clean 
and efficient energy technologies, products, and en-
ergy and environmental management services.
