  SA 805. Mr. HOEVEN (for himself, Mr. Cramer, and Mr. Lankford) 
submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the concurrent 
resolution S. Con. Res. 5, setting forth the congressional budget for 
the United States Government for fiscal year 2021 and setting forth the 
appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2022 through 2030; which 
was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO 
                   LEGISLATION PROHIBITING NEW FEDERAL 
                   ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING, OR RESULTING IN 
                   FEDERAL REGULATORY ACTION AT THE ENVIRONMENTAL 
                   PROTECTION AGENCY, THAT WOULD THREATEN THE 
                   RELIABILITY OF THE ELECTRICAL GRID IN THE 
                   UNITED STATES.

       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, 
     and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or 
     more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between 
     the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to 
     legislation prohibiting new Federal environmental permitting, 
     or resulting in Federal regulatory action at the 
     Environmental Protection Agency, that would threaten the 
     reliability of the electrical grid in the United States 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 2021 
     through 2025 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2021 
     through 2030.
