mit to the Congress and publish in the Federal Reg-
ister the final measurable cost and performance-
based goals; and
(3) update all such cost and performance-based
goals on a biennial basis.
SEC. 5. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.
(a) CLEAN COAL POWER INITIATIVE.—Except as
provided in subsection (c), there are authorized to be ap-
propriated to the Secretary to carry out the Clean Coal
Power Initiative under section 3 $200,000,000 for each

until expended.
(b) OTHER COAL
AND RELATED TECHNOLOGIES
PROGRAMS.—Except as provided in subsection (c), there
are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary
$172,000,000 for fiscal year 2002, $179,000,000 for fis-
cal year 2003, and $186,000,000 for fiscal year 2004, to
remain available until expended, for other coal and related
technologies research and development programs, which
shall include—
(1) Innovations for Existing Plants;
(2) Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle;
(3) advanced combustion systems;
(4) Turbines;
(5) Sequestration Research and Development;
(6) innovative technologies for demonstration;
(7) Transportation Fuels and Chemicals;
(8) Solid Fuels and Feedstocks;
(9) Advanced Fuels Research; and
(10) Advanced Research.
(c) LIMIT
ON USE
OF FUNDS.—Notwithstanding
subsections (a) and (b), no funds may be used to carry
out the activities authorized by this Act after September
30, 2002, unless the Secretary has transmitted to the Con-
gress the report required by this subsection and 1 month
have elapsed since that transmission. The report shall
include—
(1) with respect to subsection (a), a 10-year
plan containing—
(A) a detailed assessment of whether the
aggregate funding levels provided under sub-
section (a) are the appropriate funding levels
for that program;
(B) a detailed description of how proposals
will be solicited and evaluated, including a list
of all demonstration activities expected to be
undertaken;
(C) a detailed list of technical milestones
for each coal and related technology that will be
pursued;
(D) recommendations for a mechanism for
recoupment of Federal funding for successful
commercial projects; and
(E) a detailed description of how the pro-
gram will avoid problems enumerated in Gen-
eral Accounting Office reports on the Clean
Coal Technology Program, including problems
that have resulted in unspent funds and
projects that failed either financially or scientif-
ically;
(2) with respect to subsection (b), a plan
containing—
(A) a detailed description of how proposals
will be solicited and evaluated, including a list
of all demonstration activities expected to be
undertaken; and
(B) a detailed list of technical milestones
for each coal and related technology that will be
pursued; and
(3) a description of how the programs will be
carried out under subsection (a) and subsection (b)
so as to complement each other and not duplicate
activities.
(d) APPLICABILITY.—Subsection (c) shall not apply
to any program, project, or activity begun before Sep-
tember 30, 2001.
SEC. 6. PROJECT CRITERIA.
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary shall not provide
funding for any research, development, demonstration, or
commercial application of coal and related technologies
that do not advance efficiency, environmental perform-
ance, and cost competitiveness well beyond the level of
technologies that are in operation or have been dem-
onstrated as of the date of the enactment of this Act.
(b) TECHNICAL CRITERIA FOR CLEAN COAL POWER
INITIATIVE.—
(1) SEQUESTRATION AND GASIFICATION.—(A)
In allocating the funds authorized under section
5(a), the Secretary shall ensure that at least 80 per-
cent of the funds are used only for projects on car-
bon sequestration, or coal-based gasification tech-
nologies, including gasification combined cycle, gas-
ification fuel cells, gasification coproduction and hy-
brid gasification/combustion.
(B) The Secretary shall set technical milestones
specifying emissions levels that coal gasification
projects must be designed to and reasonably ex-
pected to achieve. The milestones shall get more re-
strictive through the life of the program. The mile-
stones shall be designed to achieve by 2020 coal gas-
ification projects able—
(i) to remove 99 percent of sulfur dioxide;
(ii) to emit no more than .05 lbs of NOx
per million BTU;
(iii) to remove 95 percent of mercury; and
(iv) to achieve a thermal efficiency of 60
percent (higher heating value).
(2) OTHER PROJECTS.—For projects not de-
scribed in paragraph (1), the Secretary shall set
technical milestones specifying emissions levels that
the projects must be designed to and reasonably ex-
pected to achieve. The milestones shall get more re-
strictive through the life of the program. The mile-
stones shall be designed to achieve by 2010 projects
able—
(A) to remove 97 percent of sulfur dioxide;
(B) to emit no more than .08 lbs of NOx
per million BTU;
(C) to remove 90 percent of mercury; and
(D) to achieve a thermal efficiency of 45
percent (higher heating value).
(c) FINANCIAL CRITERIA.—The Secretary shall not
provide a funding award for any research, development,
demonstration, or commercial application of coal and re-
lated technologies unless the recipient of the award has
documented to the satisfaction of the Secretary that—
(1) the award recipient is financially viable
without the receipt of additional Federal funding;
(2) the recipient will provide sufficient informa-
tion to the Secretary for the Secretary to ensure
that the award funds are spent efficiently and effec-
tively; and
(3) a market exists for the technology being
demonstrated or applied, as evidenced by statements
of interest in writing from potential purchasers of
the technology.
(d) FEDERAL SHARE.—The Federal share of the cost
of a coal or related technology project funded by the Sec-
retary shall not exceed 50 percent.
