SA 13. Mr. MARKEY (for himself and Ms. Baldwin) submitted an
amendment intended to be proposed to amendment SA 2 proposed by Ms.
Murkowski (for herself, Mr. Hoeven, Mr. Barrasso, Mr. Risch, Mr. Lee,
Mr. Flake, Mr. Daines, Mr. Manchin, Mr. Cassidy, Mr. Gardner, Mr.
Portman, Mr. Alexander, and Mrs. Capito) to the bill S. 1, to approve
the Keystone XL Pipeline; as follows:
At the end of section 2, add the following:
(f) Limitation.--
(1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), none of the
crude oil and bitumen transported into the United States by
the operation of the Keystone XL pipeline under the authority
provided by subsection (a), and none of the refined petroleum
fuel products originating from that crude oil or bitumen, may
be exported from the United States.
(2) Waivers authorized.--The President may waive the
limitation described in paragraph (1) if--
(A) the President determines that a waiver is in the
national interest because it--
(i) will not lead to an increase in domestic consumption of
crude oil or refined petroleum products obtained from
countries hostile to United States' interests or with
political and economic instability that compromises energy
supply security;
(ii) will not lead to higher costs to refiners who purchase
the crude oil than the refiners would pay for crude oil in
the absence of the waiver; and
(iii) will not lead to higher gasoline costs to consumers
than consumers would pay in the absence of the waiver;
(B) an exchange of crude oil or refined product provides
for no net loss of crude oil or refined product consumed
domestically; or
(C) a waiver is necessary under the Constitution, a law, or
an international agreement.
