  SA 3684. Mr. SASSE submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him 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 THE 
                   DEFINITION OF ``WATERS OF 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 
     Federal environmental and water policies, provided that such 
     legislation limits the term ``waters of the United States'' 
     under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 
     et seq.) to the jurisdictional water definition established 
     under the final rule of the Corps of Engineers and the 
     Environmental Protection Agency entitled ``The Navigable 
     Waters Protection Rule: Definition of `Waters of the United 
     States' '' (85 Fed. Reg. 22250 (April 21, 2020)) or prohibits 
     any expansion of the term ``waters of the United States'' 
     under that Act to include non-jurisdictional waters such as 
     bodies of water or water features, groundwater, ephemeral 
     streams, gullies, rills and pools, stormwater and runoff, 
     ditches, prior converted cropland, artificial irrigated 
     areas, water storage reservoirs, and groundwater recharge, 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.
