  SA 3220. Ms. CANTWELL submitted an amendment intended to be proposed 
to amendment SA 2953 proposed by Ms. Murkowski to the bill S. 2012, to 
provide for the modernization of the energy policy of the United 
States, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; 
as follows:

       Beginning on page 325, strike line 9 and all that follows 
     through page 327, line 5 and insert the following:
       (1) Definition of recycled carbon fiber.--In this 
     subsection, the term ``recycled carbon fiber'' includes--
       (A) carbon fiber composite recycling; and
       (B) carbon fiber recovery or reuse of carbon fiber 
     composites and the components of carbon fiber composites.
       (2) Study.--The Secretary shall conduct a study on--
       (A) the technology of recycled carbon fiber, carbon fiber 
     recovery, and production waste carbon fiber; and
       (B) the potential lifecycle energy savings and economic 
     impact of recycled carbon fiber and carbon fiber recovery.
       (3) Factors for consideration.--In conducting the study 
     under paragraph (2), the Secretary shall consider--
       (A) the quantity of recycled carbon fiber, recovered carbon 
     fiber, or production waste carbon fiber that would make the 
     use of recycled carbon fiber, carbon fiber recovery, or 
     production waste carbon fiber economically viable;
       (B) any existing or potential barriers to carbon fiber 
     recovery, recycling carbon fiber, or using recovered or 
     recycled carbon fiber;
       (C) any financial incentives that may be necessary for the 
     development of carbon fiber recovery, recycled carbon fiber, 
     or production waste carbon fiber;
       (D) the potential lifecycle savings in energy from carbon 
     fiber recovery or producing recycled carbon fiber, as 
     compared to producing new carbon fiber;
       (E) the best and highest uses for recovered carbon fiber 
     and recycled carbon fiber;
       (F) the potential reduction in carbon dioxide emissions 
     from carbon fiber recovery and producing recycled carbon 
     fiber, as compared to producing new carbon fiber;
       (G) any economic benefits gained from using recovered 
     carbon fiber and recycled carbon fiber or production waste 
     carbon fiber;
       (H) workforce training and skills needed to address labor 
     demands in the development of recovered carbon fiber and 
     recycled carbon fiber or production waste carbon fiber; and
       (I) how the Department can leverage existing efforts in the 
     industry on the use of production waste carbon fiber.
       (4) Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to Congress 
     a report describing the results of the study conducted under 
     paragraph (2).
       (b) Recycled Carbon Fiber Demonstration Project.--On 
     completion of the study required under subsection (a)(2), the 
     Secretary shall consult with the
                                 ______
