(A) the likely impact on domestic animal 
agriculture feedstocks that, in any crop year, 
are significantly below current projections; and

on domestic animal agriculture feedstocks that 
are significantly below current projections. 
(4) COMPONENTS.—The study shall include—

which the requirements described in subsection 
(a)(2) should be suspended or reduced to pre-
vent adverse impacts to domestic animal agri-
culture feedstocks described in paragraph 
(3)(B); and 
(B) recommendations for the means by 
which the Federal Government could prevent or 
minimize adverse economic hardships and im-
pacts. 
(5) DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION OF STUDY.— 
Not later than 270 days after the date of enactment

conversion of organic matter from renewable 
biomass. 
(b) ADDITIONAL CREDIT.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—The President shall provide 
a credit under the program established under section 
111(d) to the owner of a facility that uses renewable 
energy to displace more than 90 percent of the fossil 
fuel normally used in the production of renewable 
fuel. 
(2) CREDIT AMOUNT.—The President may pro-
vide the credit in a quantity that is not more than 
the equivalent of 1.5 gallons of renewable fuel for 
each gallon of renewable fuel produced in a facility 
described in paragraph (1). 
SEC. 113. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO THE USE OF 
RENEWABLE RESOURCES TO GENERATE EN-
ERGY. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 
(1) the United States has a quantity of renew-
able energy resources that is sufficient to supply a 
significant portion of the energy needs of the United 
States; 
(2) the agricultural, forestry, and working land 
of the United States can help ensure a sustainable 
domestic energy system;

(3) accelerated development and use of renew-
able energy technologies provide numerous benefits 
to the United States, including improved national se-
curity, improved balance of payments, healthier 
rural economies, improved environmental quality, 
and abundant, reliable, and affordable energy for all 
citizens of the United States; 
(4) the production of transportation fuels from 
renewable energy would help the United States meet 
rapidly growing domestic and global energy de-
mands, reduce the dependence of the United States 
on energy imported from volatile regions of the 
world that are politically unstable, stabilize the cost 
and availability of energy, and safeguard the econ-
omy and security of the United States; 
(5) increased energy production from domestic 
renewable resources would attract substantial new 
investments in energy infrastructure, create eco-
nomic growth, develop new jobs for the citizens of 
the United States, and increase the income for farm, 
ranch, and forestry jobs in the rural regions of the 
United States; 
(6) increased use of renewable energy is prac-
tical and can be cost effective with the implementa-
