     SEC. __. EFFECTIVE DATE.

       Notwithstanding subsections (2)(a) and (2)(b), this Act 
     shall not take effect until any consultation, analysis or 
     review required by the National Environmental Policy Act, 
     Endangered Species Act, or any other provision of law that 
     requires Federal agency consultation or review, is completed 
     with respect to whether increased greenhouse gas emissions,

     lifecycle of oil sands crude oil production, and 
     transportation from the diluted bitumen and other bituminous 
     mixtures derived from tar sands or oil sands transported 
     through the pipeline, described in section 2(a), are likely 
     to contribute to higher sea levels.
