SA 1004. Mr. MURPHY (for himself, Ms. Collins, and Mr. King)
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. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO INCREASING
FUNDING FOR PROCESSING CERTAIN PERMITS.
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 increasing funding for the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission and other relevant permitting agencies
so that approvals of additive gas transmission capacity in
supply-constrained areas of the United States, including the
6 New England States, can be processed as quickly as possible
while respecting all applicable environmental, health, and
safety laws, by the amounts provided in such legislation for
those purposes, provided that such legislation 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.
