     amendment between the Houses, or conference report that would 
     provide greater net benefits for foreign sources of critical 
     minerals (as defined in section 7002(a) of the Energy Act of 
     2020 (30 U.S.C. 1606(a)) than for domestic sources of 
     critical minerals.
       (b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) may be waived or 
     suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
     fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative 
     vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly 
     chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an appeal of

     subsection (a).
