SEC. 147. STUDY OF INCENTIVES FOR RENEWABLE FUELS. 
(a) STUDY.—The President shall conduct a study of 
the renewable fuels industry and markets in the United 
States, including— 
(1) the costs to produce conventional and ad-
vanced biofuels; 
(2) the factors affecting the future market 
prices for those biofuels, including world oil prices; 
and 
(3) the financial incentives necessary to en-
hance, to the maximum extent practicable, the 
biofuels industry of the United States to reduce the 
dependence of the United States on foreign oil dur-
ing calendar years 2011 through 2030. 
(b) GOALS.—The study shall include an analysis of 
the options for financial incentives and the advantage and 
disadvantages of each option. 
(c) REPORT.—Not later than 1 year after the date 
of enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to 
Congress a report that describes the results of the study.

SEC. 148. STUDY OF STREAMLINED LIFECYCLE ANALYSIS 
TOOLS FOR THE EVALUATION OF RENEW-
ABLE CARBON CONTENT OF BIOFUELS. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary, in consultation 
with the Secretary of Agriculture and the Administrator 
of the Environmental Protection Agency, shall conduct a 
study of— 
(1) published methods for evaluating the 
lifecycle fossil and renewable carbon content of fuels, 
including conventional and advanced biofuels; and 
(2) methods for performing simplified, stream-
lined lifecycle analyses of the fossil and renewable 
carbon content of biofuels. 
(b) REPORT.—Not later than 1 year after the date 
of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to 
the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the 
Senate and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of 
the House of Representatives a report that describes the 
results of the study under subsection (a), including rec-
ommendations for a method for performing a simplified, 
streamlined lifecycle analysis of the fossil and renewable 
carbon content of biofuels that includes— 
(1) carbon inputs to feedstock production; and 
(2) carbon inputs to the biofuel production 
process, including the carbon associated with elec-
trical and thermal energy inputs.

SEC. 149. STUDY OF EFFECTS OF ETHANOL-BLENDED GASO-
LINE ON OFF-ROAD VEHICLES. 
(a) STUDY.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary, in consulta-
tion with the Secretary of Transportation and the 
Administrator of the Environmental Protection 
Agency, shall conduct a study to determine the ef-
fects of ethanol-blended gasoline on off-road vehicles 
and recreational boats. 
(2) EVALUATION.—The study shall include an 
evaluation of the operational, safety, durability, and 
environmental impacts of ethanol-blended gasoline 
on off-road and marine engines, recreational boats, 
and related equipment. 
(b) REPORT.—Not later than 1 year after the date 
of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to 
Congress a report describing the results of the study.

eastern outer Continental Shelf, as determined 
by the Secretary. 
(2) SECRETARY.—The term ‘‘Secretary’’ means 
the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Di-
rector of the Minerals Management Service. 
(b) STUDY.—The Secretary, in cooperation with an 
eligible institution, as selected by the Secretary, shall con-
duct a study to assess each offshore wind resource located 
in the region of the eastern outer Continental Shelf. 
(c) REPORT.—Upon completion of the study under 
subsection (b), the Secretary shall submit to Congress a 
report that includes— 
(1) a description of— 
(A) the locations and total power genera-
tion resources of the best offshore wind re-
sources located in the region of the eastern 
outer Continental Shelf, as determined by the 
Secretary; 
(B) based on conflicting zones relating to 
any infrastructure that, as of the date of enact-
ment of this Act, is located in close proximity 
to any offshore wind resource, the likely exclu-
sion zones of each offshore wind resource de-
scribed in subparagraph (A);
