  SA 3115. Ms. ERNST (for herself and Mr. Thune) submitted an amendment 
intended to be proposed by her to the concurrent resolution S. Con. 
Res. 14, setting forth the congressional budget for the United States 
Government for fiscal year 2022 and setting forth the appropriate 
budgetary levels for fiscal years 2023 through 2031; 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 
                   PROHIBITING OR LIMITING THE ISSUANCE OF COSTLY 
                   CLEAN AIR ACT PERMIT REQUIREMENTS ON FARMERS 
                   AND RANCHERS IN THE UNITED STATES OR THE 
                   IMPOSITION OF NEW FEDERAL METHANE REQUIREMENTS 
                   ON LIVESTOCK.

       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 
     Federal environmental policies under the Clean Air Act (42 
     U.S.C. 7401 et seq.), which may include prohibiting or 
     limiting the issuance of costly permit requirements under 
     that Act on farmers and ranchers in the United States or the 
     imposition of any new Federal methane requirements on 
     livestock that would have the effect of increasing the cost 
     of beef and other critical products, 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 2022 through 2026 or the 
     period of the total of fiscal years 2022 through 2031.
                                 ______
