     Force, issue guidelines establishing procedures for the 
     administration of the national registry. Such guidelines 
     shall include--
       (1) means and methods for persons or entities to determine, 
     quantify, and report by appropriate and credible means their 
     baseline emissions levels on an annual basis, taking into 
     consideration any reports made by

[[Page S2979]]

     such participants under past Federal programs;
       (2) procedures for the use of an independent third-party or 
     other effective verification process for reports on emissions 
     levels and emissions reductions, using the authorities 
     available to the Secretary under this and other provisions of 
     law and taking into account, to the extent possible, costs, 
     risks, the voluntary nature of the registry, and other 
     relevant factors;
       (3) a range of reference cases for reporting of project-
     based reductions in various sectors, and the inclusion of 
     benchmark and default methodologies and practices for use as 
     reference cases for eligible projects;
       (4) safeguards to prevent and address reporting, 
     inadvertently or otherwise, of some or all of the same 
     greenhouse gas emissions or reductions by more than one 
     reporting person or entity and to make corrections and 
     adjustments in data where necessary;
       (5) procedures and criteria for the review and registration 
     of ownership or holding of all or part of any reported and 
     independently verified emission reduction projects, actions 
     and measures relative to such reported baseline emissions 
     level;
       (6) measures or a process for providing to such persons or 
     entities transferable credits with unique serial numbers for 
     such verified emissions reductions; and
       (7) accounting provisions needed to allow for changes in 
     registration and transfer of ownership of such credits 
     resulting from a voluntary private transaction between 
     persons or entities, provided that the Secretary is notified 
     of any such transfer within 30 days of the transfer having 
     been effected either by private contract or market mechanism.
       (b) Consideration.--In developing such guidelines, the 
     Secretary shall take into consideration--
       (1) the existing guidelines for voluntary emissions 
     reporting issued under section 1605(b) of the Energy Policy 
     Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 13385(b)), experience in applying such 
     guidelines, and any revisions thereof initiated by the 
     Secretary pursuant to direction of the President issued prior 
     to the enactment of this title;
       (2) protocols and guidelines developed under any Federal, 
     State, local, or private voluntary greenhouse gas emissions 
     reporting or reduction programs;
       (3) the various differences and potential uniqueness of the 
     facilities, operations and business and other relevant 
     practices of persons and entities in the private and public 
     sectors that may be expected to participate in the registry;
       (4) issues, such as comparability, that are associated with 
     the reporting of both emissions baselines and reductions from 
     activities and projects; and
       (5) the appropriate level or threshold emissions applicable 
     to a facility or activity of a person or entity that may be 
     reasonably and cost effectively identified, measured and 
     reported voluntarily, taking into consideration different 
     types of facilities and activities and the de minimis nature 
     of some emissions and their sources; and
       (6) any other consideration the Secretary may deem 
     appropriate.
       (c) Experts and Consultants.--The Secretary, and any member 
     of the Interagency Task Force, may secure the services of 
     experts and consultants in the private and non-profit sectors 
     in accordance with the provisions of section 3109 of title 5, 
     United Sates Code, in the areas of greenhouse gas 
     measurement, certification, and emissions trading. In 
     securing such services, any grant, contract, cooperative 
     agreement, or other arrangement authorized by law and already 
     available to the Secretary or the member of the Interagency 
     Task Force securing such services may be used.
       (d) Transferability of Prior Reports.--Emissions reports 
     and reductions that have been made by a person or entity 
     pursuant to section 1605(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 
     (42 U.S.C. 13385(b)) or under other Federal or State 
     voluntary greenhouse gas reduction programs may be 
     independently verified and registered with the registry using 
     the same guidelines developed by the Secretary pursuant to 
     this section.
       (e) Public Comment.--The Secretary shall make such 
     guidelines available in draft form for public notice and 
     opportunity for comment for a period of at least 90 days, and 
     thereafter shall adopt them for use in implementation of the 
     registry established pursuant to this title.
       (f) Review and Revision.--The Secretary, through the 
     Interagency Task Force, shall periodically thereafter review 
     the guidelines and, as needed, revise them in the same manner 
     as provided for in this section.

     SEC. 1106. VOLUNTARY AGREEMENTS.

       (a) In General.--In furtherance of the purposes of this 
     title, any person or entity, and the Secretary, may 
     voluntarily enter into an agreement to provide that--
       (1) such person or entity (and successors thereto) shall 
     report annually to the registry on emissions and sources of 
     greenhouse gases from applicable facilities and operations 
     which generate net emissions above any de minimis thresholds 
     specified in the guidelines issued by the Secretary pursuant 
     to this title;
       (2) such person or entity (and successors thereto) shall 
     commit to report and participate in the registry for a period 
     of at least 5 calendar years, provided that such agreements 
     may be renewed by mutual consent;

     agreement, such person or entity (and successors thereto) 
     shall determine, by mutual agreement with the Secretary--
       (A) pursuant to the guidelines issued under this title, a 
     baseline emissions level for a representative period 
     preceding the effective date of the agreement; and
       (B) emissions reduction goals, taking into consideration 
     the baseline emissions level determined under subparagraph 
     (A) and any relevant economic and operational factors that 
     may affect such baseline emissions level over the duration of 
     the agreement; and
       (4) for certified emissions reductions made relative to the 
     baseline emissions level, the Secretary shall provide, at the 
     request of the person or entity, transferable credits (with 
     unique assigned serial numbers) to the person or entity 
     which, inter alia--
       (A) can be used by such person or entity towards meeting 
     emissions reductions goals set forth under the agreement;
       (B) can be transferred to other parties or entities through 
     a voluntary private transaction between persons or entities; 
     or
       (C) shall be applicable towards any incentive, market-
     based, or regulatory programs determined by the Congress in a 
     future enactment to be necessary and feasible to reduce the 
     risk of climate change and its impacts.
       (b) Public Notice and Comment.--At least 30 days before any 
     agreement is final, the Secretary shall give notice thereof 
     in the Federal Register and provide an opportunity for public 
     written comment. After reviewing such comments, the Secretary 
     may withdraw the agreement or the parties thereto may 
     mutually agree to revise it to finalize it without 
     substantive change. Such agreement shall be retained in the 
     national registry and be available to the public.
       (c) Emissions in Excess.--In the event that a person or 
     entity fails to certify that emissions from applicable 
     facilities are less than the emissions reduction goals 
     contained in the agreement, such person or entity shall take 
     actions as necessary to reduce such excess emissions, 
     including--
       (1) redemption of transferable credits acquired in previous 
     years if owned by the person or entity;

     reductions. Such standards and best practices shall address 
     the need for--
       (1) standardized measurement and verification practices for 
     reports made by all persons or entities participating in the 
     registry, taking into account--
       (A) existing protocols and standards already in use by 
     persons or entities desiring to participate in the registry;
       (B) boundary issues such as leakage and shifted 
     utilization;
       (C) avoidance of double-counting of greenhouse gas 
     emissions and emissions reductions; and
       (D) such other factors as the panel determines to be 
     appropriate;
       (2) measurement and verification of actions taken to 
     reduce, avoid or sequester greenhouse gas emissions;
       (3) in coordination with the Secretary of Agriculture, 
     measurement of the results of the use of carbon sequestration 
     and carbon recapture technologies, including--
       (A) organic soil carbon sequestration practices;
       (B) forest preservation and re-forestration activities 
     which adequately address the issues of permanence, leakage 
     and verification; and
       (4) such other measurement and verification standards as 
     the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Agriculture, and 
     the Secretary of Energy shall determine to be appropriate.
       (b) Public Comment.--The Secretary of Commerce shall make 
     such standards and practices available in draft form for 
     public notice and opportunity for comment for a period of at 
     least 90 days, and thereafter shall adopt them, in 
     coordination with the Secretary of Energy, for use in the 
     guidelines for implementation of the registry as issued 
     pursuant to this title.

     SEC. 1108. CERTIFIED INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTIES.

       (a) Certification.--The Secretary of Commerce shall, 
     through the Director of the National Institute of Standards 
     and Technology and the Administrator, develop standards for 
     certification of independent persons to act as certified 
     parties to be employed in verifying the accuracy and 
     reliability of reports made under this title, including 
     standards that--
       (1) prohibit a certified party from themselves 
     participating in the registry through the ownership or 
     transaction of transferable credits recorded in the registry;
       (2) prohibit the receipt by a certified party of 
     compensation in the form of a commission where such party 
     receives payment based on

[[Page S2980]]

     the amount of emissions reductions verified; and
       (3) authorize such certified parties to enter into 
     agreements with persons engaged in trading of transferable 
     credits recorded in the registry.
       (b) List of Certified Parties.--The Secretary shall 
     maintain and make available to persons or entities making 
     reports under this title and to the public upon request a 
     list of such certified parties and their clients making 
     reports under this title.

     SEC. 1109. REPORT TO CONGRESS.

       Not later than 1 year after guidelines are issued for the 
     registry pursuant to this title, and biennially thereafter, 
     the President, through the Interagency Task Force, shall 
     report to the Congress on the status of the registry 
     established by this title. The report shall include--

                   TITLE--IRAQ OIL IMPORT RESTRICTION

     SECTION ____1. SHORT TITLE AND FINDINGS.

       (a) This Title can be cited as the `Iraq Petroleum Import 
     Restriction Act of 2001.'
       (b) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the government of the Republic of Iraq:
       (A) has failed to comply with the terms of United Nations 
     Security Council Resolution 686 regarding unconditional Iraqi 
     acceptance of the destruction, removal, or rendering 
     harmless, under international supervision, of all nuclear, 
     chemical and biological weapons and all stocks of agents and 
     all related subsystems and components and all research, 
     development, support and manufacturing facilities, as well as 
     all ballistic missiles with a range greater than 150 
     kilometers and related major parts, and repair and production 
     facilities and has failed to allow United Nations inspectors 
     access to sites used for the production or storage of weapons 
     of mass destruction.
       (B) routinely contravenes the terms and conditions of UNSC 
     Resolution 661, authorizing the export of petroleum products 
     from Iraq in exchange for food, medicine and other 
     humanitarian products by conducting a routine and extensive 
     program to sell such products outside of the channels 
     established by UNSC Resolution 661 in exchange for military 
     equipment and materials to be used in pursuit of its program 
     to develop weapons of mass destruction in order to threaten 
     the United States and its allies in the Persian Gulf and 
     surrounding regions.
       (C) has failed to adequately draw down upon the amounts 
     received in the Escrow Account established by UNSC Resolution 
     661 to purchase food, medicine and other humanitarian 
     products required by its citizens, resulting in massive 
     humanitarian suffering by the Iraqi people.

[[Page S2983]]

       (D) conducts a periodic and systematic campaign to harass 
     and obstruct the enforcement of the United States and United 
     Kingdom-enforced ``No-Fly Zones'' in effect in the Republic 
     of Iraq.
       (E) routinely manipulates the petroleum export production 
     volumes permitted under UNSC Resolution 661 in order to 
     create uncertainty in global energy markets, and therefore 
     threatens the economic security of the United States.
       (F) pays bounties to the families of suicide bombers in 
     order to encourage the murder of Israeli civilians.
       (2) Further imports of petroleum products from the Republic 
     of Iraq are inconsistent with the national security and 
     foreign policy interests of the United States and should be 
     eliminated until such time as they are not so inconsistent.

     SEC.____2. PROHIBITION ON IRAQI-ORIGIN PETROLEUM IMPORTS.

       The direct or indirect import from Iraq of Iraqi-origin 
     petroleum and petroleum products is prohibited, 
     notwithstanding an authorization by the Committee established 
     by UNSC Resolution 661 or its designee, or any other order to 
     the contrary.

     SEC.____3. TERMINATION/PRESIDENTIAL CERTIFICATION.

       This Title will remain in effect until such time as the

       (A) UNSC Resolution 687 and
       (B) UNSC Resolution 986 prohibiting smuggling of oil in 
     circumvention of the ``Oil-for-Food'' program; and
       (2) ceases the practice of compensating the families of 
     suicide bombers in order to encourage the murder of Israeli 
     citizens; or that
       (b) resuming the important of Iraqi-origin petroleum and 
     petroleum products would not be inconsistent with the 
     national security and foreign policy interests of the United 
     States.

     SEC. ____4. HUMANITARIAN INTERESTS.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the President should 
     make all appropriate efforts to ensure that the humanitarian 
     needs of the Iraqi people are not negatively affected by this 
     Act, and should encourage through public, private, domestic 
     and international means the direct or indirect sale, donation 
     or other transfer to appropriate non-governmental health and 
     humanitarian organizations and individuals within Iraqi of 
     food, medicine and other humanitarian products.

     the Secretary to equal the reduction in ethanol fuel 
     subsidies described in subsection (a) beginning on such date.
       (2) Liability for tax and method of payment.--

     of the Treasury or the Secretary's delegate.
       (4) Exception for exempt uses.--The tax imposed by

     the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is allowable for such use.
       (5) Exception for fuel held in vehicle tank.--No tax shall 
     be imposed by paragraph (1) on ethanol fuel held in the tank 
     of a motor vehicle or motorboat.
       (6) Exception for certain amounts of fuel.--
       (A) In general.--No tax shall be imposed by paragraph (1)

     if the aggregate amount of ethanol fuel held by such person

     regulations prescribed by the Secretary, principles similar 
     to the principles of clause (i) shall apply to a group of
