                 HARKIN (AND AKAKA) AMENDMENT NO. 1095

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. HARKIN (for himself and Mr. Akaka) submitted an amendment 
intended to be proposed by them to the bill S. 395, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

                               TITLE III

     SECTION 301. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Hydrogen Future Act of 
     1995''.

     SEC. 302. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) fossil fuels, the main energy source of the present, 
     have provided this country with tremendous supply but are 
     limited;
       (2) additional research, development, and demonstration are 
     needed to encourage private sector investment in development 
     of new and better energy sources and enabling technologies;
       (3) hydrogen holds tremendous promise as a fuel because it 
     can be extracted from water and can be burned much more 
     cleanly than conventional fuels;
       (4) hydrogen production efficiency is a major technical 
     barrier to society's collectively benefiting from 1 of the 
     great energy carriers of the future;
       (5) an aggressive, results-oriented, multiyear research 
     initiative on efficient hydrogen fuel production and use 
     should be maintained; and
       (6) the current Federal effort to develop hydrogen as a 
     fuel is inadequate.

     SEC. 303. PURPOSES.

       The purposes of this Act are--
       (1) to provide for a research, development, and 
     demonstration program leading to the production, storage, 
     transport, and use of hydrogen for industrial, residential, 
     transportation, and utility applications; and
       (2) to provide advice from academia and the private sector 
     in the implementation of the Department of Energy's hydrogen 
     research, development, and demonstration program to ensure 
     that economic benefits of the program accrue to the United 
     States.

                      JOHNSTON AMENDMENT NO. 1096

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. JOHNSTON submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to 
the bill S. 395, supra; as follows:

       Insert the following new title III:

      TITLE III--OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF DEEP WATER ROYALTY RELIEF

       Sec. 301.--This title may be referred to as the ``Outer 
     Continental Shelf Deep Water Royalty Relief Act''.
       [[Page S6758]] Sec. 302. Amendments to the Outer 
     Continental Shelf Lands Act.--Section 8(a) of the Outer 
     Continental Shelf Lands Act, (43 U.S.C. 1337(a)(3)), is 
     amended by striking paragraph (3) in its entirety and 
     inserting the following:
       ``(3)(A) The Secretary may, in order to--
       ``(i) promote development or increased production on 
     producing or non-producing leases; or
       ``(ii) encourage production of marginal resources on 
     producing or non-producing leases; through primary, 
     secondary, or tertiary recovery means, reduce or eliminate 
     any royalty or net profit share set forth in the lease(s). 
     With the lessee's consent, the Secretary may make other 
     modifications to the royalty or net profit share terms of the 
     lease in order to achieve these purposes.
       ``(B)(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act other 
     than this subparagraph, with respect to any lease or unit in 
     existence on the date of enactment of the Outer Continental 
     Shelf Deep Water Royalty Relief Act meeting the requirements 
     of this subparagraph, no royalty payments shall be due on new 
     production, as defined in clause (iv) of this subparagraph, 
     from any lease or unit located in water depths of 200 meters 
     or greater in the Western and Central Planning Areas of the 
     Gulf of Mexico, including that portion of the Eastern 
     Planning Area of the Gulf of Mexico encompassing whole lease 
     blocks lying west of 87 degrees, 30 minutes West longitude, 
     until such volume of production as determined pursuant to 
     clause (ii) has been produced by the lessee.
       ``(ii) Upon submission of a complete application by the 
     lessee, the Secretary shall determine within 180 days of such 
     application whether new production from such lease or unit 
     would be economic in the absence of the relief from the 
     requirement to pay royalties provided for by clause (i) of 
     this subparagraph. In making such determination, the 
     Secretary shall consider the increased technological and 
     financial risk of deep water development and all costs 
     associated with exploring, developing, and producing from the 
     lease. The lessee shall provide information required for a 
     complete application to the Secretary prior to such 
     determination. The Secretary shall clearly define the 
     information required for a complete application under this 
     section. Such application may be made on the basis of an 
     individual lease or unit. If the Secretary determines that 
     such new production would be economic in the absence of the 
     relief from the requirement to pay royalties provided for by 
     clause (i) of this subparagraph, the provisions of clause (i) 
     shall not apply to such production. If the Secretary 
     determines that such new production would not be economic in 
     the absence of the relief from the requirement to pay 
     royalties provided for by clause (i), the Secretary must 
     determine the volume of production from the lease or unit on 
     which no royalties would be due in order to make such new 
     production economically viable; except that for new 
     production as defined in clause (iv) (aa), in no case will 
     that volume be less than 17.5 million barrels of oil 
     equivalent in water depths of 200 to 400 meters, 52.5 million 
     barrels of oil equivalent in 400-800 meters of water, and 
     87.5 million barrels of oil equivalent in water depths 
     greater than 800 meters. Redetermination of the applicability 
     of clause (i) shall be undertaken by the Secretary when 
     requested by the lessee prior to the commencement of the new 
     production and upon significant change in the factors upon 
     which the original determination was made. The Secretary 
     shall make such redetermination within 120 days of submission 
     of a complete application. The Secretary may extend the time 
     period for making any determination or redetermination under 
     this clause for 30 days, or longer if agreed to by the 
     applicant, if circumstances so warrant. The lessee shall be 
     notified in writing of any determination or redetermination 
     and the reasons for and assumptions used for such 
     determination. Any determination or redetermination under 
     this clause shall be a final agency action. The Secretary's 
     determination or redetermination shall be judicially 
     reviewable under section 10(a) of the Administrative 
     Procedures Act, 5 U.S.C. Sec. 702, only for action filed 
     within 30 days of the Secretary's determination or 
     redetermination.
       ``(iii) In the event that the Secretary fails to make the 
     determination or redetermination called for in clause (ii) 
     upon application by the lessee within the time period, 
     together with any extension thereof, provided for by clause 
     (ii), no royalty payments shall be due on new production as 
     follows:
       ``(I) For new production, as defined in clause (iv)(I) of 
     this subparagraph, no royalty shall be due on such production 
     according to the schedule of minimum volumes specified in 
     clause (ii) of this subparagraph.
       ``(II) For new production, as defined in clause (iv)(II) of 
     this subparagraph, no royalty shall be due on such production 
     for one year following the start of such production.
       ``(iv) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term `new 
     production' is--
       ``(I) any production from a lease from which no royalties 
     are due on production, other than test production, prior to 
     the date of enactment of the Outer Continental Shelf Deep 
     Water Royalty Relief Act; or
       ``(II) any production resulting from lease development 
     activities pursuant to a Development Operations Coordination 
     Document, or supplement thereto that would expand production 
     significantly beyond the level anticipated in the Development 
     Operations Coordination Document, approved by the Secretary 
     after the date of enactment of the Outer Continental Shelf 
     Deep Water Royalty Relief Act.
       ``(v) During the production of volumes determined pursuant 
     to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this subparagraph, in any year 
     during which the arithmetic average of the closing prices on 
     the New York Mercantile Exchange for Light Sweet crude oil 
     exceeds $28.00 per barrel, any production of oil will be 
     subject to royalties at the lease stipulated royalty rate. 
     Any production subject to this clause shall be counted toward 
     the production volume determined pursuant to clause (ii) or 
     (iii). Estimated royalty payments will be made if such 
     average of the closing prices for the previous year exceeds 
     $28.00. After the end of the calendar year, when the new 
     average price can be calculated, lessees will pay any 
     royalties due, with interest but without penalty, or can 
     apply for a refund, with interest, of any overpayment.
       ``(vi) During the production of volumes determined pursuant 
     to clause (ii) or (iii) of this subparagraph, in any year 
     during which the arithmetic average of the closing prices on 
     the New York Mercantile Exchange for natural gas exceeds 
     $3.50 per million British thermal units, any production of 
     natural gas will be subject to royalties at the lease 
     stipulated royalty rate. Any production subject to this 
     clause shall be counted toward the production volume 
     determined pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii). Estimated 
     royalty payments will be made if such average of the closing 
     prices for the previous year exceeds $3.50. After the end of 
     the calendar year, when the new average price can be 
     calculated, lessees will pay any royalties due, with interest 
     but without penalty, or can apply for a refund, with 
     interest, of any overpayment.
       ``(vii) The prices referred to in clauses (v) and (vi) of 
     this subparagraph shall be changed during any calendar year 
     after 1994 by the percentage, if any, by which the implicit 
     price deflator for the gross domestic product changed during 
     the preceding calendar year.''
       Sec. 303. New Leases--
       Section 8(a)(1) of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, 
     as amended, (43 U.S.C. 1337 (a)(1)) is amended as follows:
       (1) Redesignate section 8(a)(1)(H) as section 8(a)(1)(I); 
     and
       (2) Add a new section 8(a)(1)(H) as follows:

     \1/2\ per centum fixed by the Secretary in amount or value of 
     production saved, removed, or sold, and with suspension of 
     royalties for a period, volume, or value of production 
     determined by the Secretary. Such suspensions may vary based 
     on the price of production from the lease.''
       Sec. 304. Lease Sales.--For all tracts located in water 
     depths of 200 meters or greater in the Western and Central 
     Planning Areas of the Gulf of Mexico, including that portion 
     of the Eastern Planning Area of the Gulf of Mexico 
     encompassing whole lease blocks lying west of 87 degrees, 30 
     minutes West longitude, any lease sale within five years of 
     the date of enactment of this title, shall use the bidding 
     system authorized in Section 8(a)(1)(H) of the Outer 
     Continental Shelf Lands Act, as amended by this title, except 
     that the suspension of royalties shall be set at a volume of 
     not less than the following:
       (1) 17.5 million barrels of oil equivalent for leases in 
     water depths of 200 to 400 meters;

                JOHNSTON (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 1101

  Mr. JOHNSTON (for himself, Mr. Murkowski, and Mr. Breaux) proposed an 
amendment to the bill S. 395, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following 
     as a new title III:

      TITLE III--OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF DEEP WATER ROYALTY RELIEF

       Sec. 301. This title may be referred to as the ``Outer 
     Continental Shelf Deep Water Royalty Relief Act''.
       Sec. 302. Amendments to the Outer Continental Shelf Lands 
     Act.--Section 8(a) of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, 
     (43 U.S.C. 1337 (a)(3)), is amended by striking paragraph (3) 
     in its entirety and inserting the following:
       ``(3)(A) The Secretary may, in order to--
       ``(i) promote development or increased production on 
     producing or non-producing leases; or
       ``(ii) encourage production of marginal resources on 
     producing or non-producing leases;

     through primary, secondary, or tertiary recovery means, 
     reduce or eliminate any royalty or net profit share set forth 
     in the lease(s). With the lessee's consent, the Secretary may 
     make other modifications to the royalty or net profit share 
     terms of the lease in order to achieve these purposes.
       ``(B)(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act other 
     than this subparagraph, with respect to any lease or unit in 
     existence on the date of enactment of the Outer Continental 
     Shelf Deep Water Royalty Relief Act meeting the requirements 
     of this subparagraph, no royalty payments shall be due on new 
     production, as defined in clause (iv) of this subparagraph, 
     from any lease or unit located in water depths of 200 meters 
     or greater in the Western and Central Planning Areas of the 
     Gulf of Mexico, including that portion of the Eastern 
     Planning Area of the Gulf of Mexico encompassing whole lease 
     blocks lying west of 87 degrees, 30 minutes West longitude, 
     until such volume of production as determined pursuant to 
     clause (ii) has been produced by the lessee.
       ``(ii) Upon submission of a complete application by the 
     lessee, the Secretary shall determine within 180 days of such 
     application whether new production from such lease or unit 
     would be economic in the absence of the relief from the 
     requirement to pay royalties provided for by clause (i) of 
     this subparagraph. In making such determination, the 
     Secretary shall consider the increased technological and 
     financial risk of deep water development and all costs 
     associated with exploring, developing, and producing from the 
     lease. The lessee shall provide information required for a 
     complete application to the Secretary prior to such 
     determination. The Secretary shall clearly define the 
     information required for a complete application under this 
     section. Such application may be made on the basis of an 
     individual lease or unit. If the Secretary determines that 
     such new production would be economic in the absence of the 
     relief from the requirement to pay royalties provided for by 
     clause (i) of this subparagraph, the provisions of clause (i) 
     shall not apply to such production. If the Secretary 
     determines that such new production would not be economic in 
     the absence of the relief from the requirement to pay 
     royalties provided for by clause (i), the Secretary must 
     determine the volume of production from the lease or unit on 
     which no royalties would be due in order to make such new 
     production economically viable; except that for new 
     production as defined in clause (iv) (aa), in no case will 
     that volume be less than 17.5 million barrels of oil 
     equivalent in water depths of 200 to 400 meters, 52.5
      million barrels of oil equivalent in 400-800 meters of 
     water, and 87.5 million barrels of oil equivalent in water 
     depths greater than 800 meters. Redetermination of the 
     applicability of clause (i) shall be undertaken by the 
     Secretary when requested by the lessee prior to the 
     commencement of the new production and upon significant 
     change in the factors upon which the original 
     determination was made. The Secretary shall make such 
     redetermination within 120 days of submission of a 
     complete application. The Secretary may extend the time 
     period for making any determination or redetermination 
     under this clause for 30 days, or longer if agreed to by 
     the applicant, if circumstances so warrant. The lessee 
     shall be notified in writing of any determination or 
     redetermination and the reasons for and assumptions used 
     for such determination. Any determination or 
     redetermination under this clause shall be a final agency 
     action. The Secretary's determination or redetermination 
     shall be judicially reviewable under section 10(a) of the 
     Administrative Procedures Act, 5 U.S.C. Sec. 702, only for 
     actions filed within 30 days of the Secretary's 
     determination or redetermination.
       ``(iii) In the event that the Secretary fails to make the 
     determination or redetermination called for in clause (ii) 
     upon application by the lessee within the time period, 
     together with any extension thereof, provided for by clause 
     (ii), no royalty payments shall be due on new production as 
     follows:
       ``(I) For new production, as defined in clause (iv)(I) of 
     this subparagraph, no royalty shall be due on such production 
     according to the schedule of minimum volumes specified in 
     clause (ii) of this subparagraph.
       ``(II) For new production, as defined in clause (iv)(II) of 
     this subparagraph, no royalty shall be due on such production 
     for one year following the start of such production.
       ``(iv) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term `new 
     production' is--
       ``(I) any production from a lease from which no royalties 
     are due on production, other than test production, prior to 
     the date of enactment of the Outer Continental Shelf Deep 
     Water Royalty Relief Act; or
       ``(II) any production resulting from lease development 
     activities pursuant to a Development Operations Coordination 
     Document, or supplement thereto that would expand production 
     significantly beyond the level anticipated in the Development 
     Operations Coordination Document, approved by the Secretary 
     after the date of enactment of the Outer Continental Shelf 
     Deep Water Royalty Relief Act.
       ``(v) During the production of volumes determined pursuant 
     to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this subparagraph, in any year 
     during which the arithmetic average of the closing prices on 
     the New York Mercantile Exchange for Light Sweet crude oil 
     exceeds $28.00 per barrel, any production of oil will be 
     subject to royalties at the lease stipulated royalty rate. 
     Any production subject to this clause shall be counted toward 
     the production volume determined pursuant to clause (ii) or 
     (iii). Estimated royalty payments will be made if such 
     average of the closing prices for the previous year exceeds 
     $28.00. After the end of the calendar year, when the new 
     average price can be calculated, lessees will pay any 
     royalties due, with interest but without penalty, or can 
     apply for a refund, with interest, of any overpayment.
       ``(vi) During the production of volumes determined pursuant 
     to clause (ii) or (iii) of this subparagraph, in any year 
     during which the arithmetic average of the closing
      prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange for natural gas 
     exceeds $3.50 per million British thermal units, any 
     production of natural gas will be subject to royalties at 
     the lease stipulated royalty rate. Any production subject 
     to this clause shall be counted toward the production 
     volume determined pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii). 
     Estimated royalty payments will be made if such average of 
     the closing prices for the previous year exceeds $3.50. 
     After the end of the calendar year, when the new average 
     price can be calculated, lessees will pay any royalties 
     due, with interest but without penalty, or can apply for a 
     refund, with interest, of any overpayment.
       ``(vii) The prices referred to in clauses (v) and (vi) of 
     this subparagraph shall be changed during any calendar year 
     after 1994 by the percentage, if any, by which the implicit 
     price deflator for the gross domestic product changed during 
     the preceding calendar year.''
       Sec. 303. New Leases--
       Section 8(a)(1) of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, 
     as amended, (43 U.S.C. 1337(a)(1) is amended as follows:
       (1) Redesignate section 8(a)(1)(H) as section 8(a)(1)(I); 
     and
       (2) Add a new section 8(a)(1)(H) as follows:
       ``(H) cash bonus bid with royalty at no less than 12 and 
     \1/2\ per centum fixed by the Secretary in amount or value of 
     production saved, removed, or sold, and with suspension of 
     royalties for a period, volume, or value of production 
     determined by the Secretary. Such suspensions may vary based 
     on the price of production from the lease.''
       Sec. 304. Lease Sales.--For all tracts located in water 
     depths of 200 meters or greater in the Western and Central 
     Planning Areas of the Gulf of Mexico, including that portion

     encompassing whole lease blocks lying west of 87 degrees, 30 
     minutes West longitude, any lease sale within five years of 
     the date of enactment of this title, shall use the bidding 
     system authorized in Section 8(a)(1)(H) of the Outer 
     Continental Shelf Lands Act, as amended by this title, except 
     that the suspension of royalties shall be set at a volume of 
     not less than the following:
       (1) 17.5 million barrels of oil equivalent for leases in 
     water depths of 200 to 400 meters;
