       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. SPENDING-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO 
                   AUTHORIZING THE DEVELOPMENT OF GEOTHERMAL WELLS 
                   TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE SAME CATEGORICAL

       The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate 
     may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,

     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 authorizing the 
     development of geothermal wells to be eligible for the same 
     categorical exclusions as the development of oil and gas 
     wells, by the amounts provided in such legislation for those 
     purposes, provided that such legislation would not raise new 
     revenue and 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.
