SEC. 301. REFINERY CAPACITY STUDY.

    Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
Comptroller General shall transmit to Congress a report containing the 
results of a study of refinery capacity in the United States. Such 
study shall address--
            (1) the impacts United States refinery capacity has on 
        gasoline prices;
            (2) regulatory and other barriers to the construction and 
        operation of sufficient United States refinery capacity, 
        including possible collusion among oil companies; and
            (3) how oil companies use funding received from the Federal 
        Government, and whether those Federal dollars expand our 
        domestic oil supply or just go to dividends and stock buybacks.
