SA 460. Mr. COATS submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 11, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2016 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2017 through 2025; which was ordered to lie on the table; as
follows:
At the appropriate place, insert the following:
SEC. ___. SPENDING-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO COST AND
FEASIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS AND ALLOWING STATES
REASONABLE TIME TO CURE REJECTED STATE
IMPLEMENTATION PLANS.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution
for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments,
amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports
relating to environmental laws requiring State implementation
plans, which may include requiring the Administrator of the
Environmental Protection Agency to consider the costs, direct
benefits, and feasibility of control measures when assessing
the adequacy of State implementation plans rather than a
Federal implementation plan or requiring the Administrator to
allow States reasonable time to cure a rejected State
implementation plan before imposing a Federal implementation
plan on the States, by the amounts provided in such
legislation for those purposes, provided that such
legislation would not raise new revenue and would not
increase the deficit over either the period of the total of
fiscal years 2016 through 2020 or the period of the total of
fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
