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 ANY NEW FEES OR 
                   PENALTIES IMPOSED ON ENERGY FACILITIES THAT 
                   WOULD RESULT IN HIGHER ENERGY PRICES FOR

       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 energy policy, which may include prohibiting or 
     limiting any new fees or penalties imposed on energy 
     facilities that would result in higher energy prices for 
     American taxpayers and small businesses, 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.
