SA 170. Mr. MARKEY submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the bill S. 1, to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline; which was
ordered to lie on the table; 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 the interests of the United States or
with political and economic instability that compromises
energy supply security; and
(ii) 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.
