SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Soda Ash Royalty Re-
duction Act of 2004’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds the following: 
(1) The combination of global competitive pres-
sures, flat domestic demand, and spiraling costs of 
production threaten the future of the United States 
soda ash industry. 
(2) Despite booming world demand, growth in 
United States exports of soda ash since 1997 has 
been flat, with most of the world’s largest markets 
for such growth, including Brazil, the People’s Re-
public of China, India, the countries of eastern Eu-
rope, and the Republic of South Africa, have been 
closed by protectionist policies. 
(3) The People’s Republic of China is the prime 
competitor of the United States in soda ash produc-
tion, and recently supplanted the United States as 
the largest producer of soda ash in the world. 
(4) Over 700 jobs have been lost in the United 
States soda ash industry since the Department of 
the Interior increased the royalty rate on soda ash 
produced on Federal land, in 1996. 
(5) Reduction of the royalty rate on soda ash 
produced on Federal land will provide needed relief
