       This division may be cited as the ``National Energy 
     Security Act of 2001''.

     SEC. 4002. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) increasing dependence on foreign sources of oil causes 
     systemic harm to all sectors of the United States economy, 
     threatens national security, undermines the ability of 
     Federal, State, and local units of government to provide 
     essential services, and jeopardizes the peace, security, and 
     welfare of the American people;
       (2) dependence on imports of foreign oil was 46 percent in 
     1992, rose to more than 55 percent by the beginning of 2000, 
     and is estimated by the Department of Energy to rise to 65 
     percent by 2020 unless current policies are altered;
       (3) even with increased energy efficiency, energy use in 
     the United States is expected to increase 27 percent by 2020;
       (4) the United States lacks a comprehensive national energy 
     policy and has taken actions that limit the availability and 
     capability of the domestic energy sources of oil and gas, 
     coal, nuclear and hydroelectric;
       (5) a comprehensive energy strategy must be developed to 
     combat this trend, decrease the United States dependence on 
     imported oil supplies and strengthen our national energy 
     security;
       (6) this comprehensive strategy must decrease the United 
     States dependence on foreign oil supplies to not more than 50 
     percent by the year 2011;
       (7) this comprehensive energy strategy must be multi-
     faceted and enhance the use of renewable energy resources 
     (including hydroelectric, solar, wind, geothermal and 
     biomass), conserve energy resources (including improving 
     energy efficiencies), and increase domestic supplies of 
     conventional energy resources (including oil, natural gas, 
     coal, and nuclear);
       (8) conservation efforts and alternative fuels alone will 
     not enable America to meet this goal as conventional energy 
     sources supply 96 percent of America's power at this time; 
     and
       (9) immediate actions must also be taken to mitigate the 
     economic effects of recent increases in the price of crude 
     oil, natural gas, and electricity and the related impacts on 
     American consumers, including the poor and the elderly.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this division are to protect 
     the energy security of the United States by decreasing 
     America's dependence on foreign oil sources to not more than 
     50 percent by 2010, by enhancing the use of renewable energy 
     resources, conserving energy resources (including improving 
     energy efficiencies), and increasing domestic energy 
     supplies, improving environmental quality by reducing 
     emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, and 
     mitigating the immediate effect of increases in energy prices 
     on the American consumer, including the poor and the elderly.

     deductions claimed by, the lessee shall be subject to review 
     and audit;
       (2) royalty production shall be placed in marketable 
     condition at no cost to the United States;
       (3) the Secretary of the Interior may--
       (A) sell or otherwise dispose of any royalty oil or gas 
     taken in kind for not less than fair market value; and
       (B) transport or process any oil or gas royalty taken in 
     kind;
       (4) the Secretary of the Interior may, notwithstanding 
     section 3302 of title 31, United States Code, retain and use 
     a portion of the revenues from the sale of oil and gas 
     royalties taken in kind that otherwise would be deposited to 
     miscellaneous receipts, without regard to fiscal year 
     limitation, or may use royalty production, to pay the cost 
     of--
       (A) transporting the oil or gas;
       (B) processing the gas; or
       (C) disposing of the oil or gas; and
       (5) the Secretary may not use revenues from the sale of oil

     agreement with the United States or as provided in the lease, 
     processes the gas or delivers the royalty oil or gas at a 
     point not on or adjacent to the lease area, the Secretary of 
     the Interior shall reimburse the lessee for the reasonable 
     costs of transportation (not including gathering) from the 
     lease to the point of delivery or for processing costs, or, 
     at the discretion of the Secretary of the Interior, allow the 
     lessee to deduct such transportation or processing costs in 
     reporting and paying royalties in value for other Federal oil 
     and gas leases.
       (d) Benefit to the United States.--The Secretary shall 
     administer any program taking royalty oil or gas in kind only 
     if the Secretary determines that the program is providing 
     benefits to the United States greater than or equal to those 
     which would be realized under a comparable royalty in value 
     program.
       (e) Report to Congress.--For every fiscal year, beginning 
     in 2002 through 2006, in which the United States takes oil or 
     gas royalties within any State or from the outer Continental 
     Shelf in kind, excluding royalties taken in kind and sold to 
     refineries under subsection (h) of this section, the 
     Secretary of the Interior shall provide a report to Congress 
     that describes--
       (1) the methodology or methodologies used by the Secretary 
     to determine compliance with subsection (d), including 
     performance standards for comparing to amounts likely to have 
     been received had royalties been taken in value;

     other applicable provision of law, of revenues derived from 
     the sale of royalty production taken in kind from a lease, 
     the Secretary of the Interior shall deduct amounts paid or 
     deducted under paragraphs (b)(3) and (c), and shall deposit 
     such amounts to miscellaneous receipts.
       (2) If the Secretary of the Interior allows the lessee to 
     deduct transportation or processing costs under paragraph 
     (c), the Secretary of the Interior may not reduce any 
     payments to recipients of revenues derived from any other 
     Federal oil and gas lease as a consequence of that deduction.
       (g) Consultation With States.--The Secretary of the 
     Interior will consult with a State prior to conducting a 
     royalty in kind program within the State and may delegate 
     management of any portion of the Federal royalty in kind 
     program to such State except as otherwise prohibited by 
     Federal law. The Secretary shall also consult annually with 
     any State from which Federal royalty oil or gas is being 
     taken in kind to ensure to the maximum extent practicable 
     that the royalty in kind program provides revenues to the 
     State greater than or equal to those which would be realized 
     under a comparable royalty in value program.
       (h) Provisions for Small Refineries.--
       (1) If the Secretary of the Interior determines that 
     sufficient supplies of crude oil are not available in the 
     open market to refineries not having their own source of 
     supply for crude oil, the Secretary may grant preference to 
     such refineries in the sale of any royalty oil accruing or 
     reserved to the United States under Federal oil and gas 
     leases issued under any mineral leasing law, for processing 
     or use in such refineries at private sale at not less than 
     fair market value.
       (2) In selling oil under this subsection, the Secretary of 
     the Interior may at his discretion prorate such oil among 
     such refineries in the area in which the oil is produced.
       (i) Disposition to Federal Agencies.--

     and gas leases may be sold at not less than the fair market 
     value to any department or agency of the United States.
       (2) Any royalty oil or gas taken in kind from Federal oil 
     and gas leases on the outer Continental Shelf may be disposed 
     of under section 27 of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act 
     (43 U.S.C. 1353(a)(3)).

                   AREA.

       (a) Authorization.--Congress hereby authorizes and directs 
     the Secretary, acting through the Bureau of Land Management 
     in consultation with the Fish and Wildlife Service and other 
     appropriate Federal offices and agencies, to take such 
     actions as are necessary to establish and implement a 
     competitive oil and gas leasing program that will result in 
     an environmentally sound program for the exploration, 
     development, and production of the oil and gas resources of 
     the 1002 Area and to administer the provisions of this title 
     through regulations, lease terms, conditions, restrictions, 
     prohibitions, stipulations and other provisions that ensure 
     the oil and gas exploration, development, and production 
     activities on the 1002 Area will result in no significant 
     adverse effect on fish and wildlife, their habitat, 
     subsistence resources, and the environment, and shall require 
     the application of the best commercially available technology 
     for oil and gas exploration, development, and production, on 
     all new exploration, development, and production operations, 
     and whenever practicable, on existing operations, and in a 
     manner to ensure the receipt of fair market value by the 
     public for the mineral resources to be leased.
       (b) Repeal.--The prohibitions and limitations contained in 
     section 1003 of the Alaska National Interest Lands 
     Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 3143) are hereby 
     repealed.
       (c) Compatibility.--Congress hereby determines that the oil 
     and gas leasing program and activities authorized by this

     to leasing if the Secretary determines that these Special 
     Areas are of such unique character and interest so as to 
     require special management and regulatory protection. The 
     Secretary may, however, permit leasing of all or portions of 
     any Special Areas within the 1002 Area by setting lease terms 
     that limit or condition surface use and occupancy by lessees 
     of such lands but permit the use of horizontal drilling 
     technology from sites on leases located outside the

     to the United States, including recreation, irrigation, flood 
     control, water supply, and fish and wildlife benefits;
       (4) in the next 15 years, the bulk of all non-Federal 
     hydroelectric power capacity in the United States is due to 
     be relicensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission;
       (5) the process of licensing hydroelectric projects by the 
     Commission--
       (A) does not produce optimal decisions, because the 
     agencies that participate in the process are not required to 
     consider the full effects of their mandatory and recommended 
     conditions on a license;
       (B) is inefficient, in part because agencies do not always 
     submit their mandatory and recommended conditions by a time 
     certain;
       (C) is burdened by uncoordinated environmental reviews and 
     duplicative permitting authority; and
       (D) is burdensome for all participants and too often 
     results in litigation; and
       (6) while the alternative licensing procedures available to 
     applicants for hydroelectric project licenses provide 
     important opportunities for the collaborative resolution of 
     many of the issues in hydroelectric project licensing, those 
     procedures are not appropriate in every case and cannot 
     substitute for statutory reforms of the hydroelectric 
     licensing process.

     SEC. 4723. PURPOSE.

       The purpose of this subtitle is to achieve the objective of 
     relicensing hydroelectric power projects to maintain high 
     environmental standards while preserving low cost power by--
       (1) requiring agencies to consider the full effects of 
     their mandatory and recommended conditions on a hydroelectric 
     power license and to document the consideration of a broad 
     range of factors;
       (2) requiring the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to 
     impose deadlines by which Federal agencies must submit 
     proposed mandatory and recommended conditions to a license; 
     and
       (3) making other improvements in the licensing process.

     shall follow the procedures under paragraph (2) for review of 
     that filing.
       ``(2) Submissions under paragraph (1) shall include--
       ``(A) a concise statement of the purpose of the proposal; 
     and
       ``(B) a record of any proceedings conducted with respect to 
     such proposal.
     The Commission shall provide notice of the filing of such 
     proposal and afford interested entities 30 days to submit 
     comments. The Commission, after taking into consideration any 
     submitted comments, shall approve or disapprove such proposal 
     not later than 60 days after the deadline for the submission 
     of comments, except that the Commission may extend the 60 day 
     period for an additional 90 days for good cause, and except 
     further that if the Commission does not act to approve or 
     disapprove a proposal within the foregoing periods, the 
     proposal shall go into effect subject to its terms, without 
     prejudice to the authority of the Commission thereafter to 
     modify the proposal in accordance with the standards and 
     requirements of this section. Proposals approved by the 
     Commission shall take effect according to their terms but not 
     earlier than 30 days after the effective date of the 
     Commission's order, except as provided in paragraph (3) of 
     this subsection.
       ``(3)(A) In the exercise of its review responsibilities 
     under this subsection, the Commission shall give due weight 
     to the technical expertise of the Electric Reliability 
     Organization with respect to the content of a new or modified 
     organization standard, but shall not defer to the 
     organization with respect to the effect of the standard on 
     competition. The Commission shall approve a proposed new or 
     modified organization standard if it determines the proposal 
     to be just, reasonable, not unduly discriminatory or 
     preferential, and in the public interest.
       ``(B) An existing or proposed organization standard which 
     is disapproved in whole or in part by the Commission shall be 
     remanded to the Electric Reliability Organization for further 
     consideration.
       ``(C) The Commission, on its own motion or upon complaint, 
     may direct the Electric Reliability Organization to develop 
     an organization standard, including modification to an 
     existing organization standard, addressing a specific matter 
     by a date certain if the Commission considers such new or 
     modified organization standard necessary or appropriate to 
     further the purposes of this section. The Electric 
     Reliability Organization shall file any such new or modified 
     organization standard in accordance with this subsection.
       ``(D) An affiliated regional reliability entity may propose 
     a variance or entity rule to the Electric Reliability 
     Organization. The affiliated regional reliability entity may 
     request that the Electric Reliability Organization expedite 
     consideration of the proposal, and may file a notice of such 
     request with the Commission, if expedited consideration is 
     necessary to provide for bulk-power system reliability. If 
     the Electric Reliability Organization fails to adopt the 
     variance or entity rule, either in whole or in part, the 
     affiliated regional reliability entity may request that the 
     Commission review such action. If the Commission determines, 
     after its review of such a request, that the action of the 
     Electric Reliability Organization did not conform to the 
     applicable standards and procedures approved by the 
     Commission, or if the Commission determines that the variance 
     or entity rule is just, reasonable, not unduly discriminatory 
     or preferential, and in the public interest, and that the 
     Electric Reliability Organization has unreasonably rejected 
     the proposed variance or entity rule, then the Commission may 
     remand the proposed variance or entity rule for further 
     consideration by the Electric Reliability Organization or may 
     direct the Electric Reliability Organization or the 
     affiliated regional reliability entity to develop a variance 
     or entity rule consistent with that requested by the 
     affiliated regional reliability entity. Any such variance or 
     entity rule proposed by an affiliated regional reliability 
     entity shall be submitted to the Electric Reliability 
     Organization for review and filing with the Commission in 
     accordance with the procedures specified in this subsection.

       ``(E) Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
     subsection, a proposed organization standard or amendment 
     shall take effect according to its terms if the Electric 
     Reliability Organization determines that an emergency exists 
     requiring that such proposed organization standard or 
     amendment take effect without notice or comment. The Electric 
     Reliability Organization shall notify the Commission 
     immediately following such determination and shall file such 
     emergency organization standard or amendment with the 
     Commission not later than 5 days following such determination 
     and shall include in such filing an explanation of the need 
     for such emergency standard. Subsequently, the Commission 
     shall provide notice of the organization standard or 
     amendment for comment, and shall follow the procedures set 
     out in paragraphs (2) and (3) for review of the new or 
     modified organization standard. Any such organization 
     standard that has gone into effect shall remain in effect 
     unless and until suspended or disapproved by the Commission. 
     If the Commission determines at any time that the emergency 
     organization standard or amendment is not necessary, the 
     Commission may suspend such emergency organization standard 
     or amendment.
       ``(4) All users of the bulk power system shall comply with 
     any organization standard that takes effect under this 
     section.
       ``(f) Coordination With Canada and Mexico.--The Electric 
     Reliability Organization shall take all appropriate steps to 
     gain recognition in Canada and Mexico. The United States 
     shall use its best efforts to enter into international 
     agreements with the appropriate governments of Canada and 
     Mexico to provide for effective compliance with organization 
     standards and to provide for the effectiveness of the 
     Electric Reliability Organization in carrying out its mission 
     and responsibilities. All actions taken by the Electric 
     Reliability Organization, any affiliated regional reliability 
     entity, and the Commission shall be consistent with the 
     provisions of such international agreements.
       ``(g) Changes in Procedures, Governance, or Funding.--
       ``(1) The Electric Reliability Organization shall file with 
     the Commission any proposed change in its procedures, 
     governance, or funding, or any changes in the affiliated 
     regional reliability entity's procedures, governance, or 
     funding relating to delegated functions, and shall include 
     with the filing an explanation of the basis and purpose for 
     the change.
       ``(2) A proposed procedural change may take effect 90 days 
     after filing with the Commission if the change constitutes a 
     statement of policy, practice, or interpretation with respect 
     to the meaning or enforcement of an existing procedure. 
     Otherwise, a proposed procedural change shall take effect 
     only upon a finding by the Commission, after notice and 
     opportunity for comments, that the change is just, 
     reasonable, not unduly discriminatory or preferential, is in 
     the public interest, and satisfies the requirements of 
     subsection (d)(4).
       ``(3) A change in governance or funding shall not take 
     effect unless the Commission finds that the change is just, 
     reasonable, not unduly discriminatory or preferential, in the 
     public interest, and satisfies the requirements of subsection 
     (d)(4).
       ``(4) The Commission, upon complaint or upon its own 
     motion, may require the Electric Reliability Organization to 
     amend the procedures, governance, or funding if the 
     Commission determines that the amendment is necessary to meet 
     the requirements of this section. The Electric Reliability 
     Organization shall file the amendment in accordance with 
     paragraph (1) of this subsection.
       ``(h) Delegations of Authority.--
       ``(1) The Electric Reliability Organization shall, upon 
     request by an entity, enter into an agreement with such 
     entity for the delegation of authority to implement and 
     enforce compliance with organization standards in a specified 
     geographic area if the organization finds that the entity 
     requesting the delegation satisfies the requirements of 
     subparagraphs (A), (B), (C), (D), (F), (J), and (K) of 
     subsection (d)(4), and if the delegation promotes the 
     effective and efficient implementation and administration of 
     bulk power system reliability. The Electric Reliability 
     Organization may enter into an agreement to delegate to the 
     entity any other authority, except that the Electric 
     Reliability Organization shall reserve the right to set and 
     approve standards for bulk power system reliability.
       ``(2) The Electric Reliability Organization shall file with 
     the Commission any agreement entered into under this 
     subsection and any information the Commission requires with 
     respect to the affiliated regional reliability entity to 
     which authority is to be delegated. The Commission shall 
     approve the agreement, following public notice and an 
     opportunity for comment, if it finds that the agreement meets 
     the requirements of paragraph (1), and is just, reasonable, 
     not unduly discriminatory or preferential, and is in the 
     public interest. A proposed delegation agreement with an 
     affiliated regional reliability entity organized on an 
     interconnection-wide basis shall be rebuttably presumed by 
     the Commission to promote the effective and efficient 
     implementation and administration of bulk power system 
     reliability. No delegation by the Electric Reliability 
     Organization shall be valid unless approved by the 
     Commission.
       ``(3)(A) A delegation agreement entered into under this 
     subsection shall specify the procedures for an affiliated 
     regional reliability entity to propose entity rules or 
     variances for review by the Electric Reliability 
     Organization. With respect to any such proposal that would 
     apply on an interconnection-wide basis, the Electric 
     Reliability Organization shall presume such proposal valid if 
     made by an interconnection-wide affiliated regional 
     reliability entity unless the Electric Reliability 
     Organization makes a written finding that the proposal--
       ``(i) was not developed in a fair and open process that 
     provided an opportunity for all interested parties to 
     participate;
       ``(ii) has a significant adverse impact on reliability or 
     commerce in other interconnections;
       ``(iii) fails to provide a level of reliability of the 
     bulk-power system within the interconnection such that it 
     would constitute a serious and substantial threat to public 
     health, safety, welfare, or national security; or
       ``(iv) creates a serious and substantial burden on 
     competitive markets within the interconnection that is not 
     necessary for reliability.
       ``(B) With respect to any such proposal that would apply 
     only to part of an interconnection, the Electric Reliability 
     Organization shall find such proposal valid if the affiliated 
     regional reliability entity or entities making the proposal 
     demonstrate that it--
       ``(i) was developed in a fair and open process that 
     provided an opportunity for all interested parties to 
     participate;
       ``(ii) would not have an adverse impact on commerce that is 
     not necessary for reliability;
       ``(iii) provides a level of bulk power system reliability 
     adequate to protect public health, safety, welfare, and 
     national security, and would not have a significant adverse 
     impact on reliability; and
       ``(iv) in the case of a variance, is based on legitimate 
     differences between regions or between subregions within the 
     affiliated regional reliability entity's geographic area.

     The Electric Reliability Organization shall approve or 
     disapprove such proposal within 120 days, or the proposal 
     shall be deemed approved. Following approval of any such 
     proposal under this paragraph, the Electric Reliability 
     Organization shall seek Commission approval pursuant to the 
     procedures prescribed under subsection (e)(3). Affiliated 
     regional reliability entities may not make requests for 
     approval directly to the Commission except pursuant to 
     subsection (e)(3)(D).
       ``(4) If an affiliated regional reliability entity 
     requests, consistent with paragraph (1) of this subsection, 
     that the Electric Reliability Organization delegate authority 
     to it, but is unable within 180 days to reach agreement with 
     the Electric Reliability Organization with respect to such 
     requested delegation, such entity may seek relief from the 
     Commission. If, following notice and opportunity for comment, 
     the Commission determines that a delegation to the entity 
     would meet the requirements of paragraph (1) above, and that 
     the delegation would be just, reasonable, not unduly 
     discriminatory or preferential, and in the public interest, 
     and that the Electric Reliability Organization has 
     unreasonably withheld such delegation, the Commission may, by 
     order, direct the Electric Reliability Organization to make 
     such delegation.
       ``(5)(A) The Commission may, upon its own motion or upon 
     complaint, and with notice to the appropriate affiliated 
     regional reliability entity or entities, direct the Electric 
     Reliability Organization to propose a modification to an 
     agreement entered into under this subsection if the 
     Commission determines that--
       ``(i) the affiliated regional reliability entity no longer 
     has the capacity to carry out effectively or efficiently its 
     implementation or enforcement responsibilities under that 
     agreement, has failed to meet its obligations under that 
     agreement, or has violated any provision of this section;
       ``(ii) the rules, practices, or procedures of the 
     affiliated regional reliability entity no longer provide for 
     fair and impartial discharge of its implementation or 
     enforcement responsibilities under the agreement;
       ``(iii) the geographic boundary of a transmission entity 
     approved by the Commission is not wholly within the boundary 
     of an affiliated regional reliability entity and such 
     difference is inconsistent with the effective and efficient 
     implementation and administration of bulk power system 
     reliability; or
       ``(iv) the agreement is inconsistent with another 
     delegation agreement as a result of actions taken under 
     paragraph (4) of this subsection.
       ``(B) Following an order of the Commission issued under 
     subparagraph (A), the Commission may suspend the affected 
     agreement if the Electric Reliability Organization or the 
     affiliated regional reliability entity does not propose an 
     appropriate and timely modification. If the agreement is 
     suspended, the Electric Reliability Organization shall assume 
     the previously delegated responsibilities.

[[Page 17310]]

     The Commission shall allow the Electric Reliability 
     Organization and the affiliated regional reliability entity 
     an opportunity to appeal the suspension.
       ``(i) Organization Membership.--Every system operator shall 
     be required to be a member of the electric Reliability 
     Organization and shall be required also to be a member of any 
     affiliated regional reliability entity operating under an 
     agreement effective pursuant to subsection (h) applicable to 
     the region in which the system operator operates or is 
     responsible for the operation of bulkpower system facilities.
       ``(j) Injunctions and Disciplinary Action.--
       ``(1) Consistent with the range of actions approved by the 
     Commission under subsection (d)(4)(H), the Electric 
     Reliability Organization may impose a penalty, limitation of 
     activities, functions, operations, or other disciplinary 
     action the Electric Reliability Organization finds 
     appropriate against a user of the bulk power system if the 
     Electric Reliability Organization, after notice and an 
     opportunity for interested parties to be heard, issues a 
     finding in writing that the user of the bulk-power system has 
     violated an organization standard. The Electric Reliability 
     Organization shall immediately notify the Commission of any 
     disciplinary action imposed with respect to an act or failure 
     to act of a user of the bulk-power system that affected or 
     threatened to affect bulk power system facilities located in 
     the United States, and the sanctioned party shall have the 
     right to seek modification or rescission of such disciplinary 
     action by the Commission. If the organization finds it 
     necessary to prevent a serious threat to reliability, the 
     organization may seek injunctive relief in a Federal court in 
     the district in which the affected facilities are located.
       ``(2) A disciplinary action taken under paragraph (1) may 
     take effect not earlier than the 30th day after the Electric 
     Reliability Organization files with the Commission its 
     written finding and record of proceedings before the Electric 
     Reliability Organization and the Commission posts its written 
     finding, unless the Commission, on its own motion or upon 
     application by the user of the bulk power system which is the 
     subject of the action, suspends the action. The action shall 
     remain in effect or remain suspended unless and until the 
     Commission, after notice and opportunity for hearing, 
     affirms, sets aside, modifies, or reinstates the action, but 
     the Commission shall conduct such hearing under procedures 
     established to ensure expedited consideration of the action 
     taken.
       ``(3) The Commission, on its own motion or on complaint, 
     may order compliance with an organization standard and may 
     impose a penalty, limitation of activities, functions, or 
     operations, or take such other disciplinary action as the 
     Commission finds appropriate, against a user of the bulk 
     power system with respect to actions affecting or threatening 
     to affect bulk power system facilities located in the United 
     States if the Commission finds, after notice and opportunity 
     for a hearing, that the user of the bulk power system has 
     violated or threatens to violate an organization standard.
       ``(4) The Commission may take such action as is necessary 
     against the Electric Reliability Organization or an 
     affiliated regional reliability entity to ensure compliance 
     with an organization standard, or any Commission order 
     affecting the Electric Reliability Organization or an 
     affiliated regional reliability entity.
       ``(k) Reliability Reports.--The Electric Reliability 
     Organization shall conduct periodic assessments of the 
     reliability and adequacy of the interconnected bulk power 
     system in North America and shall report annually to the 
     Secretary of Energy and the Commission its findings and 
     recommendations for monitoring or improving system 
     reliability and adequacy.
       ``(l) Assessment and Recovery of Certain Costs.--The 
     reasonable costs of the Electric Reliability Organization, 
     and the reasonable costs of each affiliated regional 
     reliability entity that are related to implementation and 
     enforcement of organization standards or other requirements 
     contained in a delegation agreement approved under subsection 
     (h), shall be assessed by the Electric Reliability 
     Organization and each affiliated regional reliability entity, 
     respectively, taking into account the relationship of costs 
     to each region and based on an allocation that reflects an 
     equitable sharing of the costs among all end users. The 
     Commission shall provide by rule for the review of such costs 
     and allocations, pursuant to the standards in this subsection 
     and subsection (d)(4)(F).
       ``(m) Savings Provisions.--
       ``(1) The Electric Reliability Organization shall have 
     authority to develop, implement and enforce compliance with 
     standards for the reliable operation of only the bulk power 
     system.
       ``(2) This section does not provide the Electric 
     Reliability Organization or the Commission with the authority 
     to set and enforce compliance with standards for adequacy or 
     safety of electric facilities or services.
       ``(3) Nothing in this section shall be construed to preempt 
     any authority of any State to take action to ensure the 
     safety, adequacy, and reliability of electric service within 
     that State, as long as such action is not inconsistent with 
     any Organization Standard.
       ``(4) Within 90 days of the application of the Electric 
     Reliability Organization or other affected party, the 
     Commission shall issue a final order determining whether a 
     State action is inconsistent with an Organization Standard, 
     after notice and opportunity for comment, taking into 
     consideration any recommendations of the Electric Reliability 
     Organization.
       ``(5) The Commission, after consultation with the Electric 
     Reliability Organization, may stay the effectiveness of any 
     state action, pending the Commission's issuance of a final 
     order.
       ``(n) Regional Advisory Bodies.--The Commission shall 
     establish a regional advisory body on the petition of at 
     least \2/3\ of the States within a region that have more than 
     one-half of their electric loan served within the region. A 
     regional advisory body shall be composed of 1 member from 
     each participating State in the region, appointed by the 
     Governor of each State, and may include representatives of 
     agencies, States, and provinces outside the United States, 
     upon execution of an international agreement or agreements 
     described in subsection (f). A regional advisory body may 
     provide advice to the electric reliability organization, an 
     affiliated regional reliability entity, or the Commission 
     regarding the governance of an existing or proposed 
     affiliated regional reliability entity within the same 
     region, whether an organization standard, entity rule, or 
     variance proposed to apply within the region is just, 
     reasonable, not unduly discriminatory or preferential, and in 
     the public interest, and whether fees proposed to be assessed 
     within the region are just, reasonable, not unduly 
     discriminatory or preferential, in the public interest, and 
     consistent with the requirements of subsection (l). The 
     Commission may give deference to the advice of any such 
     regional advisory body if that body is organized on an 
     interconnection-wide basis.
       ``(o) Coordination With Regional Transmission 
     Organizations.--
       ``(1) Each regional transmission organization authorized by 
     the Commission shall be responsible for maintaining the 
     short-term reliability of the bulk power system that it 
     operates, consistent with organization standards.
       ``(2) Except as provided in paragraph (5), in connection 
     with a proceeding under subsection (e) to consider a proposed 
     organization standard, each regional transmission 
     organization authorized by the Commission shall report to the 
     Commission, and notify the electric reliability organization 
     and any applicable affiliated regional reliability entity, 
     regarding whether the proposed organization standard hinders 
     or conflicts with that regional transmission organization's 
     ability to fulfill the requirements of any rule, regulation, 
     order, tariff, rate schedule, or agreement accepted, approved 
     or ordered by the Commission. Where such hindrance or 
     conflict is identified, the Commission shall address such 
     hindrance or conflict, and the need for any changes to such 
     rule, order, tariff, rate schedule, or agreement accepted, 
     approved or ordered by the Commission in its order under 
     subsection (e) regarding the proposed standard. Where such 
     hindrance or conflict is identified between a proposed 
     organization standard and a provision of any rule, order, 
     tariff, rate schedule or agreement accepted, approved or 
     ordered by the Commission applicable to a regional 
     transmission organization, nothing in this section shall 
     require a change in the regional transmission organization's 
     obligation to comply with such provision unless the 
     Commission orders such a change and the change becomes 
     effective. If the Commission finds that the tariff, rate 
     schedule, or agreement needs to be changed, the regional 
     transmission organization must expeditiously make a section 
     205 filing to reflect the change. If the Commission finds 
     that the proposed organization standard needs to be changed, 
     it shall remand the proposed organization standard to the 
     electric reliability organization under subsection (e)(3)(B).
       ``(3) Except as provided in paragraph (5), to the extent 
     hindrances and conflicts arise after approval of a 
     reliability standard under subsection (c) or organization 
     standard under subsection (e), each regional transmission 
     organization authorized by the Commission shall report to the 
     Commission, and notify the electric reliability organization 
     and any applicable affiliated regional reliability entity, 
     regarding any reliability standard approved under subsection 
     (c) or organization standard that hinders or conflicts with 
     that regional transmission organization's ability to fulfill 
     the requirements of any rule, regulation, order tariff, rate 
     schedule, or agreement accepted, approved or ordered by the 
     Commission. The Commission shall seek to ensure that such 
     hindrances or conflicts are resolved promptly. Where a 
     hindrance or conflict is identified between a reliability 
     standard or an organization standard and a provision of any 
     rule, order, tariff, rate schedule or agreement accepted, 
     approved or ordered by the Commission applicable to a 
     regional reliability organization, nothing in this section 
     shall require a change in the regional transmission 
     organization's obligation to comply with such provision 
     unless the Commission orders such a

[[Page 17311]]

     change and the change becomes effective. If the Commission 
     finds that the tariff, rate schedule or agreement needs to be 
     changed, the regional transmission organization must 
     expeditiously make a section 205 filing to reflect the 
     change. If the Commission finds that an organization standard 
     needs to be changed, it shall order the electric reliability 
     organization to develop and submit a modified organization 
     standard under subsection (e)(3)(C).
       ``(4) An affiliated regional reliability entity and a 
     regional transmission organization operating in the same 
     geographic area shall cooperate to avoid conflicts between 
     implementation and enforcement of organization standards by 
     the affiliated regional reliability entity and implementation 
     and enforcement by the regional transmission organization of 
     tariffs, rate schedules, and agreements accepted, approved or 
     ordered by the Commission. In areas without an affiliated 
     regional reliability entity, the electric reliability 
     organization shall act as the affiliated regional reliability 
     entity for purposes of this paragraph.
       ``(5) Until 180 days after approval of applicable 
     subsection (h)(3) procedures, any reliability standard, 
     guidance, or practice contained in Commission-accepted 
     tariffs, rate schedules, or agreements in effect of any 
     Commission-authorized independent system operator or regional 
     transmission organization shall continue to apply unless the 
     Commission accepts an amendment thereto by the applicable 
     operator or organization, or upon complaint finds them to be 
     unjust, unreasonable, unduly discriminatory or preferential, 
     or not in the public interest. At the conclusion of such 
     transition period, any such reliability standard, guidance, 
     practice, or amendment thereto that the Commission determines 
     is inconsistent with organization standards shall no longer

     SEC. 4810. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Public Utility Holding 
     Company Act of 2001''.

     SEC. 4811. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 was 
     intended to facilitate the work of Federal and State 
     regulators by placing certain constraints on the activities 
     of holding company systems;
       (2) developments since 1935, including changes in other 
     regulation and in the electric and gas industries, have 
     called into question the continued relevance of the model of 
     regulation established by that Act;
       (3) there is a continuing need for State regulation in 
     order to ensure the rate protection of utility customers; and
       (4) limited Federal regulation is necessary to supplement 
     the work of State commissions for the continued rate 
     protection of electric and gas utility customers.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
       (1) to eliminate unnecessary regulation, yet continue to 
     provide for consumer protection by facilitating existing rate 
     regulatory authority through improved Federal and State 
     commission access to books and records of all companies in a 
     holding company system, to the extent that such information 
     is relevant to rates paid by utility customers, while 
     affording companies the flexibility required to compete in 
     the energy markets; and
       (2) to address protection of electric and gas utility 
     customers by providing for Federal and State access to books 
     and records of all companies in a holding company system that 
     are relevant to utility rates.
