       On page 75, between lines 5 and 6, insert the following:
       Sec. 616. (a) The Senate finds that--
       (1) this Act is intended to provide critical homeland 
     security resources to State and local communities and first 
     responders to help them in their efforts to improve our 
     homeland defense at the National, State, and local levels;
       (2) given the nature of the terrorist threats against our 
     Nation and the grave consequences of a terrorist attack, it 
     is in the best interest of our homeland defense that such 
     resources be disbursed and employed as effectively as 
     possible;
       (3) the Secretary of Homeland Security has repeatedly 
     emphasized the need to use a threat-based formula, instead of 
     a per capita formula, to best allocate homeland security 
     block grant funds to States for use by States and local 
     communities;
       (4) in the June 2003 report of the Homeland Security 
     Independent Task Force of the Council on Foreign Relations, 
     chaired by Senator Warren B. Rudman, entitled ``Emergency 
     Responders: Drastically Underfunded, Dangerously 
     Unprepared'', the Task Force--
       (A) declared the ``existing systems for determining the 
     distribution of appropriated funds to states to be badly in 
     need of reform'';
       (B) advised that ``Congress should establish a system for 
     allocating scarce [homeland security] resources based . . . 
     on addressing identified threats and vulnerabilities''; and
       (C) stated that, in allocating Federal homeland security 
     funds, ``the Federal Government should consider such factors 
     as population density, vulnerability assessment, and presence 
     of critical infrastructure within each state'';
       (5) the vulnerability assessment may cover a range of 
     considerations, including--
       (A) the proximity of a community to nuclear and chemical 
     facilities, ports, and international borders;
       (B) the presence of national icons that may be terrorist 
     targets;
       (C) population (including tourist, military, and commuting 
     population), population density, the location, risk, or 
     vulnerability of critical infrastructure or key national 
     assets; and
       (D) any other factor considered appropriate by the 
     Secretary of Homeland Security;
       (6) our Nation's critical infrastructure consists of 
     systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, that are 
     vital to the United States, including infrastructure relating 
     to--
       (A) agriculture;
       (B) food;
       (C) water;
       (D) public health;
       (E) emergency services;
       (F) government;

       (J) banking and finance;
       (K) chemicals;
       (L) postal service; and
       (M) shipping;
       (7) the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism 
     Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-188) 
     requires a threat analysis, an indication that Congress 
     recognizes the importance of threat-based formulas; and
       (8) other national homeland security experts have also 
     called for the distribution of Federal, State, and local 
     homeland security grants using a threat-based formula in lieu 
     of a per capita formula.
       (b) It is the sense of the Senate that homeland security 
     grants to State and local governments awarded pursuant to 
     section 1014 of the USA PATRIOT ACT of 2001 (42 U.S.C. 3711) 
     by the Office of Domestic Preparedness of the Department of 
     Homeland Security should, subject to minimum allocations for 
     small States, be allocated to States through a threat-based 
     formula in lieu of a per capita formula.

     7651 et seq.); and
       (ii) controls or limits emissions of sulfur or nitrogen 
     compounds resulting from the combustion of coal through the

     after the combustion of the coal, but before the combustion 
     products are emitted into the atmosphere;
       (B)(i) removes sulfur compounds from coal before the 
     combustion of the coal; and
       (ii) is located off the premises of the electric generation

       (ii) other coal combustion byproducts produced by the 
     electric generation unit in or to which the compliance 
     facility is incorporated or connected.

       (b) Credits.--A State may provide to an electric utility a 
     credit against any tax or fee owed to the State under a State 
     law, in an amount calculated under, and in accordance with, a 
     formula to be determined by the State, for the use of coal 
     mined from deposits in the State that is burned in a coal-
     fired electric generation unit that is owned or operated by 
     the electric utility that receives the credit.
       (c) Effect on Interstate Commerce.--Action taken by a State 
     in accordance with this section--
       (1) shall be considered to be a reasonable regulation of 
     commerce as of the effective date of the action; and
