       Not later than 60 days after the enactment of the Act, the 
     Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall 
     commence a rulemaking to determine whether modifications to 
     the regulations set forth in 40 CFR Section 80.78 and any 
     associated regulations regarding the transition to high ozone 
     season reformulated gasoline are necessary to ensure that the 
     transition to high ozone season reformulated gasoline is 
     conducted in a manner that minimizes disruptions to the 
     general availability and affordability of gasoline, and 
     maximizes flexibility with regard to the draining and 
     inventory management of gasoline storage tanks located at 
     refineries, terminals, wholesale and retail outlets, 
     consistent with the goals of the Clean Air Act. The 
     Administrator shall propose and take final action in such 
     rulemaking to ensure that any modifications are effective and 
     implemented at least 60 days prior to the beginning of the 
     high ozone season for the year 2002.

     calculation, and other requirements contained in the 
     regulations of the Administrator set forth in section 80.102 
     of title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations relating to 
     gasoline blendstocks are necessary to facilitate the movement 
     of gasoline and gasoline feedstocks among different regions 
     throughout the country and to improve the ability of 
     petroleum refiners and importers to respond to regional 
     gasoline shortages and prevent unreasonable short-term price 
     increases. The Administrator shall take into consideration 
     the extent to which such requirements have been, or will be, 
     rendered unnecessary or inefficient by reason of subsequent 
     environmental safeguards that were not in effect at the time 
     the regulations in section 80.102 of title 40 of the Code of 
     Federal Regulations were promulgated. The Administrator shall 
     propose and take final action in such rulemaking to ensure 
     that any modifications are effective and implemented at least 
     60 days prior to the beginning of the high ozone season for 
     the year 2002.

                               DIVISION B

     SEC. 2001. SHORT TITLE.

       This division may be cited as the ``Comprehensive Energy 
     Research and Technology Act of 2001''.

     SEC. 2002. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Nation's prosperity and way of life are sustained 
     by energy use;
       (2) the growing imbalance between domestic energy 
     production and consumption means that the Nation is becoming 
     increasingly reliant on imported energy, which has the 
     potential to undermine the Nation's economy, standard of 
     living, and national security;
       (3) energy conservation and energy efficiency help maximize 
     the use of available energy resources, reduce energy 
     shortages, lower the Nation's reliance on energy imports, 
     mitigate the impacts of high energy prices, and help protect 
     the environment and public health;
       (4) development of a balanced portfolio of domestic energy 
     supplies will ensure that future generations of Americans 
     will have access to the energy they need;
       (5) energy efficiency technologies, renewable and 
     alternative energy technologies, and advanced energy systems 
     technologies will help diversify the Nation's energy 
     portfolio with few adverse environmental impacts and are 
     vital to delivering clean energy to fuel the Nation's 
     economic growth;
       (6) development of reliable, affordable, and 
     environmentally sound energy efficiency technologies, 
     renewable and alternative energy technologies, and advanced 
     energy systems technologies will require maintenance of a 
     vibrant fundamental scientific knowledge base and continued 
     scientific and technological innovations that can be 
     accelerated by Federal funding, whereas commercial deployment 
     of such systems and technologies are the responsibility of 
     the private sector;
       (7) Federal funding should focus on those programs, 
     projects, and activities that are long-term, high-risk, 
     noncommercial, and well-managed, and that provide the 
     potential for scientific and technological advances; and
       (8) public-private partnerships should be encouraged to 
     leverage scarce taxpayer dollars.

     SEC. 2003. PURPOSES.

       The purposes of this division are to--
       (1) protect and strengthen the Nation's economy, standard 
     of living, and national security by reducing dependence on 
     imported energy;
       (2) meet future needs for energy services at the lowest 
     total cost to the Nation, including environmental costs, 
     giving balanced and comprehensive consideration to 
     technologies that improve the efficiency of energy end uses 
     and that enhance energy supply;
       (3) reduce the air, water, and other environmental impacts 
     (including emissions of greenhouse gases) of energy 
     production, distribution, transportation, and use through the 
     development of environmentally sustainable energy systems;
       (4) consider the comparative environmental impacts of the 
     energy saved or produced by specific programs, projects, or 
     activities;
       (5) maintain the technological competitiveness of the 
     United States and stimulate economic growth through the 
     development of advanced energy systems and technologies;
       (6) foster international cooperation by developing 
     international markets for domestically produced sustainable 
     energy technologies, and by transferring environmentally 
     sound, advanced energy systems and technologies to developing 
     countries to promote sustainable development;
       (7) provide sufficient funding of programs, projects, and 
     activities that are performance-based and modeled as public-
     private partnerships, as appropriate; and
       (8) enhance the contribution of a given program, project, 
     or activity to fundamental scientific knowledge.

     SEC. 2004. GOALS.

       (a) In General.--Subject to subsection (b), in order to 
     achieve the purposes of this division under section 2003, the 
     Secretary should conduct a balanced energy research, 
     development, demonstration, and commercial application 
     portfolio of programs guided by the following goals to meet 
     the purposes of this division under section 2003.
       (1) Energy conservation and energy efficiency.--
       (A) For the Building Technology, State and Community 
     Sector, the program should develop technologies, housing 
     components, designs, and production methods that will, by 
     2010--
       (i) reduce the monthly energy cost of new housing by 20 
     percent, compared to the cost as of the date of the enactment 
     of this Act;
       (ii) cut the environmental impact and energy use of new 
     housing by 50 percent, compared to the impact and use as of 
     the date of the enactment of this Act; and
       (iii) improve durability and reduce maintenance costs by 50 
     percent compared to the durability and costs as of the date 
     of the enactment of this Act.
       (B) For the Industry Sector, the program should, in 
     cooperation with the affected industries, improve the energy 
     intensity of the major energy-consuming industries by at 
     least 25 percent by 2010, compared to the energy intensity as 
     of the date of the enactment of this Act.
       (C) For Power Technologies, the program should, in 
     cooperation with the affected industries--
       (i) develop a microturbine (40 to 300 kilowatt) that is 
     more than 40 percent more efficient by 2006, and more than 50 
     percent more efficient by 2010, compared to the efficiency as 
     of the date of the enactment of this Act; and
       (ii) develop advanced materials for combustion systems that 
     reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides by 30 to 50 percent while 
     increasing efficiency 5 to 10 percent by 2007, compared to 
     such emissions as of the date of the enactment of this Act.
       (D) For the Transportation Sector, the program should, in 
     cooperation with affected industries--
       (i) develop a production prototype passenger automobile 
     that has fuel economy equivalent to 80 miles per gallon of 
     gasoline by 2004;
       (ii) develop class 7 and 8 heavy duty trucks and buses with 
     ultra low emissions and the ability to use an alternative 
     fuel that has an average fuel economy equivalent to--

       (I) 10 miles per gallon of gasoline by 2007; and
       (II) 13 miles per gallon of gasoline by 2010;

       (iii) develop a production prototype of a passenger 
     automobile with zero equivalent emissions that has an average 
     fuel economy of 100 miles per gallon of gasoline by 2010; and
       (iv) improve, by 2010, the average fuel economy of trucks--

       (I) in classes 1 and 2 by 300 percent; and
       (II) in classes 3 through 6 by 200 percent,

     compared to the fuel economy as of the date of the enactment 
     of this Act.
       (2) Renewable energy.--
       (A) For Hydrogen Research, to carry out the Spark M. 
     Matsunaga Hydrogen Research, Development, and Demonstration 
     Act of 1990, as amended by subtitle A of title II of this 
     division.
       (B) For bioenergy:
       (i) The program should reduce the cost of bioenergy 
     relative to other energy sources to enable the United States 
     to triple bioenergy use by 2010.
       (ii) For biopower systems, the program should reduce the 
     cost of such systems to enable commercialization of 
     integrated power-generating technologies that employ gas 
     turbines and fuel cells integrated with bioenergy gasifiers 
     within 5 years after the date of the enactment of this Act.
       (iii) For biofuels, the program should accelerate research, 
     development, and demonstration on advanced enzymatic 
     hydrolysis technology for making ethanol from cellulosic 
     feedstock, with the goal that between 2010 and 2015 ethanol 
     produced from energy crops would be fully competitive in 
     terms of price with gasoline as a neat fuel, in either 
     internal combustion engines or fuel cell vehicles.
       (C) For Geothermal Technology Development, the program 
     should focus on advanced concepts for the long term. The 
     first priority should be high-grade enhanced geothermal 
     systems; the second priority should be lower grade, hot dry 
     rock, and geopressured systems; and the third priority should 
     be support of field demonstrations of enhanced geothermal 
     systems technology, including sites in lower grade areas to 
     demonstrate the benefits of reservoir concepts to different 
     conditions.

[[Page 18070]]

       (D) For Hydropower, the program should provide a new 
     generation of turbine technologies that will increase 
     generating capacity and will be less damaging to fish and 
     aquatic ecosystems.
       (E) For Concentrating Solar Power, the program should 
     strengthen ongoing research, development, and demonstration 
     combining high-efficiency and high-temperature receivers with 
     advanced thermal storage and power cycles, with the goal of 
     making solar-only power (including baseload solar power) 
     widely competitive with fossil fuel power by 2015. The 
     program should limit or halt its research and development on 
     power-tower and power-trough technologies because further 
     refinements to these concepts will not further their 
     deployment, and should assess the market prospects for solar 
     dish/engine technologies to determine whether continued 
     research and development is warranted.
       (F) For Photovoltaic Energy Systems, the program should 
     pursue research, development, and demonstration that will, by 
     2005, increase the efficiency of thin film modules from the 
     current 7 percent to 11 percent in multi-million watt 
     production; reduce the direct manufacturing cost of 
     photovoltaic modules by 30 percent from the current $2.50 per 
     watt to $1.75 per watt by 2005; and establish greater than a 
     20-year lifetime of photovoltaic systems by improving the 
     reliability and lifetime of balance-of-system components and 
     reducing recurring cost by 40 percent. The program's top 
     priority should be the development of sound manufacturing 
     technologies for thin-film modules, and the program should 
     make a concerted effort to integrate fundamental research and 
     basic engineering research.
       (G) For Solar Building Technology Research, the program 
     should complete research and development on new polymers and 
     manufacturing processes to reduce the cost of solar water 
     heating by 50 percent by 2004, compared to the cost as of the 
     date of the enactment of this Act.
       (H) For Wind Energy Systems, the program should reduce the 
     cost of wind energy to three cents per kilowatt-hour at Class 
     6 (15 miles-per-hour annual average) wind sites by 2004, and 
     4 cents per kilowatt-hour in Class 4 (13 miles-per-hour 
     annual average) wind sites by 2015, and further if required 
     so that wind power can be widely competitive with fossil-
     fuel-based electricity in a restructured electric industry. 
     Program research on advanced wind turbine technology should 
     focus on turbulent flow studies, durable materials to extend 
     turbine life, blade efficiency, and higher efficiency 
     operation in low quality wind regimes.
       (I) For Electric Energy Systems and Storage, including High 
     Temperature Superconducting Research and Development, Energy 
     Storage Systems, and Transmission Reliability, the program 
     should develop high capacity superconducting transmission 
     lines and generators, highly reliable energy storage systems,

          Subtitle B--Distributed Power Hybrid Energy Systems

     SEC. 2121. FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Our ability to take advantage of our renewable, 
     indigenous resources in a cost-effective manner can be 
     greatly advanced through systems that compensate for the 
     intermittent nature of these resources through distributed 
     power hybrid systems.
       (2) Distributed power hybrid systems can--
       (A) shelter consumers from temporary energy price 
     volatility created by supply and demand mismatches;
       (B) increase the reliability of energy supply; and
       (C) address significant local differences in power and 
     economic development needs and resource availability that 
     exist throughout the United States.
       (3) Realizing these benefits will require a concerted and 
     integrated effort to remove market barriers to adopting 
     distributed power hybrid systems by--
       (A) developing the technological foundation that enables 
     designing, testing, certifying, and operating distributed 
     power hybrid systems; and
       (B) providing the policy framework that reduces such 
     barriers.
       (4) While many of the individual distributed power hybrid 
     systems components are either available or under development 
     in existing private and public sector programs, the 
     capabilities to integrate these components into workable 
     distributed power hybrid systems that maximize benefits to 
     consumers in a safe manner often are not coherently being 
     addressed.

                       TITLE III--NUCLEAR ENERGY

         Subtitle A--University Nuclear Science and Engineering

     SEC. 2301. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as ``Department of Energy 
     University Nuclear Science and Engineering Act''.

     SEC. 2302. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) United States university nuclear science and 
     engineering programs are in a state of serious decline, with 
     nuclear engineering enrollment at a 35-year low. Since 1980, 
     the number of nuclear engineering university programs has 
     declined nearly 40 percent, and over two-thirds of the 
     faculty in these programs are 45 years of age or older. Also, 
     since 1980, the number of university research and training 
     reactors in the United States has declined by over 50 
     percent. Most of these reactors were built in the late 1950s 
     and 1960s with 30-year to 40-year operating licenses, and 
     many will require relicensing in the next several years.
       (2) A decline in a competent nuclear workforce, and the 
     lack of adequately trained nuclear scientists and engineers, 
     will affect the ability of the United States to solve future 
     nuclear waste storage issues, operate existing and design 
     future fission reactors in the United States, respond to 
     future nuclear events worldwide, help stem the proliferation 
     of nuclear weapons, and design and operate naval nuclear 
     reactors.
       (3) The Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy, 
     Science and Technology, a principal Federal agency for 
     civilian research in nuclear science and engineering, is well 
     suited to help maintain tomorrow's human resource and 
     training investment in the nuclear sciences and engineering.

                            TITLE V--SCIENCE

                   Subtitle A--Fusion Energy Sciences

     SEC. 2501. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``Fusion Energy Sciences 
     Act of 2001''.

     SEC. 2502. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) economic prosperity is closely linked to an affordable 
     and ample energy supply;
       (2) environmental quality is closely linked to energy 
     production and use;
       (3) population, worldwide economic development, energy 
     consumption, and stress on the environment are all expected 
     to increase substantially in the coming decades;
       (4) the few energy options with the potential to meet 
     economic and environmental needs for the long-term future 
     should be pursued as part of a balanced national energy plan;
       (5) fusion energy is an attractive long-term energy source 
     because of the virtually inexhaustible supply of fuel, and 
     the promise of minimal adverse environmental impact and 
     inherent safety;
       (6) the National Research Council, the President's 
     Committee of Advisers on Science and Technology, and the 
     Secretary of Energy Advisory Board have each recently 
     reviewed the Fusion Energy Sciences Program and each strongly 
     supports the fundamental science and creative innovation of 
     the program, and has confirmed that progress toward the goal 
     of producing practical fusion energy has been excellent, 
     although much scientific and engineering work remains to be 
     done;
       (7) each of these reviews stressed the need for a magnetic 
     fusion burning plasma experiment to address key scientific 
     issues and as a necessary step in the development of fusion 
     energy;
       (8) the National Research Council has also called for a 
     broadening of the Fusion Energy Sciences Program research 
     base as a means to more fully integrate the fusion science 
     community into the broader scientific community; and
       (9) the Fusion Energy Sciences Program budget is inadequate 
     to support the necessary science and innovation for the 
     present generation of experiments, and cannot accommodate the 
     cost of a burning plasma experiment constructed by the United 
     States, or even the cost of key participation by the United 
     States in an international effort.

     SEC. 2503. PLAN FOR FUSION EXPERIMENT.

       (a) Plan for United States Fusion Experiment.--The 
     Secretary, on the basis of full consultation with the Fusion 
     Energy Sciences Advisory Committee and the Secretary of 
     Energy Advisory Board, as appropriate, shall develop a plan 
     for United States construction of a magnetic fusion burning 
     plasma experiment for the purpose of accelerating scientific 
     understanding of fusion plasmas. The Secretary shall request 
     a review of the plan by the National Academy of Sciences, and 
     shall transmit the plan and the review to the Congress by 
     July 1, 2004.
       (b) Requirements of Plan.--The plan described in subsection 
     (a) shall--
       (1) address key burning plasma physics issues; and
       (2) include specific information on the scientific 
     capabilities of the proposed experiment, the relevance of 
     these capabilities to the goal of practical fusion energy, 
     and the overall design of the experiment including its 
     estimated cost and potential construction sites.
       (c) United States Participation in an International 
     Experiment.--In addition to the plan described in subsection 
     (a), the Secretary, on the basis of full consultation with 
     the Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee and the 
     Secretary of Energy Advisory Board, as appropriate, may also 
     develop a plan for United States participation in an 
     international burning plasma experiment for the same purpose, 
     whose construction is found by the Secretary to be highly 
     likely and where United States participation is cost 
     effective relative to the cost and scientific benefits of a 
     domestic experiment described in subsection (a). If the 
     Secretary elects to develop a plan under this subsection, he 
     shall include the information described in subsection (b), 
     and an estimate of the cost of United States participation in 
     such an international experiment. The Secretary shall request 
     a review by the National Academies of Sciences and 
     Engineering of a plan developed under this subsection, and 
     shall transmit the plan and the review to the Congress not 
     later than July 1, 2004.
       (d) Authorization of Research and Development.--The 
     Secretary, through the Fusion Energy Sciences Program, may 
     conduct any research and development necessary to fully 
     develop the plans described in this section.

     SEC. 2504. PLAN FOR FUSION ENERGY SCIENCES PROGRAM.

       Not later than 6 months after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary, in full consultation with FESAC, 
     shall develop and transmit to the Congress a plan for the 
     purpose of ensuring a strong scientific base for the Fusion 
     Energy Sciences Program and to enable the experiments 
     described in section 2503. Such plan shall include as its 
     objectives--
       (1) to ensure that existing fusion research facilities and 
     equipment are more fully utilized with appropriate 
     measurements and control tools;
       (2) to ensure a strengthened fusion science theory and 
     computational base;
       (3) to ensure that the selection of and funding for new 
     magnetic and inertial fusion research facilities is based on 
     scientific innovation and cost effectiveness;
       (4) to improve the communication of scientific results and 
     methods between the fusion science community and the wider 
     scientific community;
       (5) to ensure that adequate support is provided to optimize 
     the design of the magnetic fusion burning plasma experiments 
     referred to in section 2503;
       (6) to ensure that inertial confinement fusion facilities 
     are utilized to the extent practicable for the purpose of 
     inertial fusion energy research and development;
       (7) to develop a roadmap for a fusion-based energy source 
     that shows the important scientific questions, the evolution 
     of confinement configurations, the relation between these two 
     features, and their relation to the fusion energy goal;
       (8) to establish several new centers of excellence, 
     selected through a competitive peer-review process and 
     devoted to exploring the frontiers of fusion science;
       (9) to ensure that the National Science Foundation, and 
     other agencies, as appropriate, play a role in extending the 
     reach of fusion science and in sponsoring general plasma 
     science; and
       (10) to ensure that there be continuing broad assessments 
     of the outlook for fusion energy and periodic external 
     reviews of fusion energy sciences.

     SEC. 5000. SHORT TITLE.

       This division may be cited as the ``Clean Coal Power 
     Initiative Act of 2001''.

     SEC. 5001. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) reliable, affordable, increasingly clean electricity 
     will continue to power the growing United States economy;
       (2) an increasing use of electrotechnologies, the desire 
     for continuous environmental improvement, a more competitive 
     electricity market, and concerns about rising energy prices 
     add importance to the need for reliable, affordable, 
     increasingly clean electricity;
       (3) coal, which, as of the date of the enactment of this 
     Act, accounts for more than \1/2\ of all electricity 
     generated in the United States, is the most abundant fossil 
     energy resource of the United States;
       (4) coal comprises more than 85 percent of all fossil 
     resources in the United States and exists in quantities 
     sufficient to supply the United States for 250 years at 
     current usage rates;
       (5) investments in electricity generating facility 
     emissions control technology over the past 30 years have 
     reduced the aggregate emissions of pollutants from coal-based 
     generating facilities by 21 percent, even as coal use for 
     electricity generation has nearly tripled;
       (6) continuous improvement in efficiency and environmental 
     performance from electricity generating facilities would 
     allow continued use of coal and preserve less abundant energy 
     resources for other energy uses;
       (7) new ways to convert coal into electricity can 
     effectively eliminate health-threatening emissions and 
     improve efficiency by as much as 50 percent, but initial 
     deployment of new coal generation methods and equipment 
     entails significant risk that generators may be unable to 
     accept in a newly competitive electricity market; and
       (8) continued environmental improvement in coal-based 
     generation and increasing the production and supply of power 
     generation facilities with less air emissions, with the 
     ultimate goal of near-zero emissions, is important and 
     desirable.

     SEC. 6503. LEASING PROGRAM FOR LANDS WITHIN THE COASTAL 
                   PLAIN.

       (a) In General.--The Secretary shall take such actions as 
     are necessary--
       (1) to establish and implement in accordance with this 
     title a competitive oil and gas leasing program under the 
     Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.) that will result 
     in an environmentally sound program for the exploration, 
     development, and production of the oil and gas resources of 
     the Coastal Plain; and
       (2) 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 Coastal Plain will result in no significant 
     adverse effect on fish and wildlife, their habitat, 
     subsistence resources, and the environment, and including, in 
     furtherance of this goal, by requiring the application of the 
     best commercially available technology for oil and gas 
     exploration, development, and production to all exploration, 
     development, and production operations under this title in a 
     manner that ensures the receipt of fair market value by the 
     public for the mineral resources to be leased.
       (b) Repeal.--Section 1003 of the Alaska National Interest 
     Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 3143) is repealed.
       (c) Compliance With Requirements Under Certain Other 
     Laws.--
       (1) Compatibility.--For purposes of the National Wildlife 
     Refuge System Administration Act of 1966, the oil and gas 
     leasing program and activities authorized by this section in 
     the Coastal Plain are deemed to be compatible with the 
     purposes for which the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge was 
     established, and that no further findings or decisions are 
     required to implement this determination.
       (2) Adequacy of the department of the interior's 
     legislative environmental impact statement.--The ``Final 
     Legislative Environmental Impact Statement'' (April 1987) on 
     the Coastal Plain prepared pursuant to section 1002 of the 
     Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (16 
     U.S.C. 3142) and section 102(2)(C) of the National 
     Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)) is 
     deemed to satisfy the requirements under the National 
     Environmental Policy Act of 1969 that apply with respect to 
     actions authorized to be taken by the Secretary to develop 
     and promulgate the regulations for the establishment of a 
     leasing program authorized by this title before the conduct 
     of the first lease sale.
       (3) Compliance with nepa for other actions.--Before 
     conducting the first lease sale under this title, the 
     Secretary shall prepare an environmental impact statement 
     under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 with 
     respect to the actions authorized by this title that are not 
     referred to in paragraph (2). Notwithstanding any other law, 
     the Secretary is not required to identify nonleasing 
     alternative courses of action or to analyze the environmental 
     effects of such courses of action. The Secretary shall only 
     identify a preferred action for such leasing and a single 
     leasing alternative, and analyze the environmental effects 
     and potential mitigation measures for those two alternatives. 
     The identification of the preferred action and related 
     analysis for the first lease sale under this title shall be 
     completed within 18 months after the date of the enactment of 
     this Act. The Secretary shall only consider public comments 
     that specifically address the Secretary's preferred action 
     and that are filed within 20 days after publication of an 
     environmental analysis. Notwithstanding any other law, 
     compliance with this paragraph is deemed to satisfy all 
     requirements for the analysis and consideration of the 
     environmental effects of proposed leasing under this title.
       (d) Relationship to State and Local Authority.--Nothing in 
     this title shall be considered to expand or limit State and

                                  ____

  SA 1701. Mr. WARNER (for Mr. Allard) proposed an amendment to the 
bill S. 1438, to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2002 for 
military activities of the Department of Defense, for military 
constructions, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy, 
to prescribe personnel strengths for such fiscal year for the Armed 
Forces, and for other purposes; as follows:

       Strike sections 3172 through 3178 and insert the following:

     SEC. 3172. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Federal Government, through the Atomic Energy 
     Commission, acquired the Rocky Flats site in 1951 and began 
     operations there in 1952. The site remains a Department of 
     Energy facility. Since 1992, the mission of the Rocky Flats 
     site has changed from the production of nuclear weapons 
     components to cleanup and closure in a manner that is safe, 
     environmentally and socially responsible, physically secure, 
     and cost-effective.
       (2) The site has generally remained undisturbed since its 
     acquisition by the Federal Government.
       (3) The State of Colorado is experiencing increasing growth 
     and development, especially in the metropolitan Denver Front 
     Range area in the vicinity of the Rocky Flats site. That 
     growth and development reduces the amount of open space and 
     thereby diminishes for many metropolitan Denver communities 
     the vistas of the striking Front Range mountain backdrop.
       (4) Some areas of the site contain contamination and will 
     require further response action. The national interest 
     requires that the ongoing cleanup and closure of the entire 
     site be completed safely, effectively, and without 
     unnecessary delay and that the site thereafter be retained by 
     the United States and managed so as to preserve the value of 
     the site for open space and wildlife habitat.
       (5) The Rocky Flats site provides habitat for many wildlife 
     species, including a number of threatened and endangered 
     species, and is marked by the presence of rare xeric 
     tallgrass prairie plant communities. Establishing the site as 
     a unit of the National Wildlife Refuge System will promote 
     the preservation and enhancement of those resources for 
     present and future generations.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this subtitle are--
       (1) to provide for the establishment of the Rocky Flats 
     site as a national wildlife refuge following cleanup and 
     closure of the site;
       (2) to create a process for public input on refuge 
     management before transfer of administrative jurisdiction to 
     the Secretary of the Interior; and
       (3) to ensure that the Rocky Flats site is thoroughly and 
     completely cleaned up.

       TITLE XIV--AMERICAN SERVICEMEMBERS' PROTECTION ACT OF 2001

     SEC. 1401. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``American Servicemembers' 
     Protection Act of 2001''.

     SEC. 1402. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On July 17, 1998, the United Nations Diplomatic 
     Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Establishment of an 
     International Criminal Court, meeting in Rome, Italy, adopted 
     the ``Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court''. The 
     vote on whether to proceed with the statute was 120 in favor 
     to 7 against, with 21 countries abstaining. The United States 
     voted against final adoption of the Rome Statute.
       (2) As of April 30, 2001, 139 countries had signed the Rome 
     Statute and 30 had ratified it. Pursuant to Article 126 of 
     the Rome Statute, the statute will enter into force on the 
     first day of the month after the 60th day following the date 
     on which the 60th country deposits an instrument ratifying 
     the statute.
       (3) Since adoption of the Rome Statute, a Preparatory 
     Commission for the International Criminal Court has met 
     regularly to draft documents to implement the Rome Statute, 
     including Rules of Procedure and Evidence, Elements of 
     Crimes, and a definition of the Crime of Aggression.
       (4) During testimony before the Congress following the 
     adoption of the Rome Statute, the lead United States 
     negotiator, Ambassador David Scheffer stated that the United 
     States could not sign the Rome Statute because certain 
     critical negotiating objectives of the United States had not 
     been achieved. As a result, he stated: ``We are left with 
     consequences that do not serve the cause of international 
     justice.''
       (5) Ambassador Scheffer went on to tell the Congress that: 
     ``Multinational peacekeeping forces operating in a country 
     that has joined the treaty can be exposed to the Court's 
     jurisdiction even if the country of the individual 
     peacekeeper has not joined the treaty. Thus, the treaty 
     purports to establish an arrangement whereby United States 
     armed forces operating overseas could be conceivably 
     prosecuted by the international court even if the United 
     States has not agreed to be bound by the treaty. Not only is 
     this contrary to the most fundamental principles of treaty 
     law, it could inhibit the ability of the United States to use 
     its military to meet alliance obligations and participate in 
     multinational operations, including humanitarian 
     interventions to save civilian lives. Other contributors to 
     peacekeeping operations will be similarly exposed.''.
       (6) Notwithstanding these concerns, President Clinton 
     directed that the United States sign the Rome Statute on 
     December 31, 2000. In a statement issued that day, he stated 
     that in view of the unremedied deficiencies of the Rome 
     Statute, ``I will not, and do not recommend that my successor 
     submit the Treaty to the Senate for advice and consent until 
     our fundamental concerns are satisfied''.
       (7) Any American prosecuted by the International Criminal 
     Court will, under the Rome Statute, be denied procedural 
     protections to which all Americans are entitled

[[Page 18109]]

     under the Bill of Rights to the United States Constitution, 
     such as the right to trial by jury.
       (8) Members of the Armed Forces of the United States should 
     be free from the risk of prosecution by the International 
     Criminal Court, especially when they are stationed or 
     deployed around the world to protect the vital national 
     interests of the United States. The United States Government 
     has an obligation to protect the members of its Armed Forces, 
     to the maximum extent possible, against criminal prosecutions 
     carried out by the International Criminal Court.
       (9) In addition to exposing members of the Armed Forces of 
     the United States to the risk of international criminal 
     prosecution, the Rome Statute creates a risk that the 
     President and other senior elected and appointed officials of 
     the United States Government may be prosecuted by the 
     International Criminal Court. Particularly if the Preparatory 
     Commission agrees on a definition of the Crime of Aggression 
     over United States objections, senior United States officials 
     may be at risk of criminal prosecution for national security 
     decisions involving such matters as responding to acts of 
     terrorism, preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass 
     destruction, and deterring aggression. No less than members 
     of the Armed Forces of the United States, senior officials of 
     the United States Government should be free from the risk of 
     prosecution by the International Criminal Court, especially 
     with respect to official actions taken by them to protect the 
     national interests of the United States.
       (10) Any agreement within the Preparatory Commission on a 
     definition of the Crime of Aggression that usurps the 
     prerogative of the United Nations Security Council under 
     Article 39 of the charter of the United Nations to 
     ``determine the existence of any . . . . act of aggression'' 
     would contravene the charter of the United Nations and 
     undermine deterrence.
       (11) It is a fundamental principle of international law 
     that a treaty is binding upon its parties only and that it 
     does not create obligations for nonparties without their 
     consent to be bound. The United States is not a party to the 
     Rome Statute and will not be bound by any of its terms. The 
     United States will not recognize the jurisdiction of the 
     International Criminal Court over United States nationals.

     SEC. 1403. WAIVER AND TERMINATION OF PROHIBITIONS OF THIS 
                   TITLE.

       (a) Authority To Initially Waive Sections 1405 and 1407.--
     The President is authorized to waive the prohibitions and 
     requirements of sections 1405 and 1407 for a single period of 
     one year. A waiver under this subsection may be issued only 
     if the President at least 15 days in advance of exercising 
     such authority--
       (1) notifies the appropriate congressional committees of 
     the intention to exercise such authority; and
       (2) determines and reports to the appropriate congressional 
     committees that the International Criminal Court has entered 
     into a binding agreement that--
       (A) prohibits the International Criminal Court from seeking 
     to exercise jurisdiction over the following persons with 
     respect to actions undertaken by them in an official 
     capacity:
       (i) covered United States persons;
       (ii) covered allied persons; and
       (iii) individuals who were covered United States persons or 
     covered allied persons; and
       (B) ensures that no person described in subparagraph (A) 
     will be arrested, detained, prosecuted, or imprisoned by or 
     on behalf of the International Criminal Court.
       (b) Authority To Extend Waiver of Sections 1405 and 1407.--
     The President is authorized to waive the prohibitions and 
     requirements of sections 1405 and 1407 for successive periods 
     of one year each upon the expiration of a previous waiver 
     pursuant to subsection (a) or this subsection. A waiver under 
     this subsection may be issued only if the President at least 
     fifteen days in advance of exercising such authority--
       (1) notifies the appropriate congressional committees of 
     the intention to exercise such authority; and
       (2) determines and reports to the appropriate congressional 
     committees that the International Criminal Court--
       (A) remains party to, and has continued to abide by, a 
     binding agreement that--
       (i) prohibits the International Criminal Court from seeking 
     to exercise jurisdiction over the following persons with 
     respect to actions undertaken by them in an official 
     capacity:

       (I) covered United States persons;
       (II) covered allied persons; and

     covered allied persons; and

       (ii) ensures that no person described in clause (i) will be 
     arrested, detained, prosecuted, or imprisoned by or on behalf 
     of the International Criminal Court; and
       (B) has taken no steps to arrest, detain, prosecute, or 
     imprison any person described in clause (i) of subparagraph 
     (A).
       (c) Authority To Waive Sections 1404 and 1406 With Respect 
     to an Investigation or Prosecution of a Named Individual.--
     The President is authorized to waive the prohibitions and 
     requirements of sections 1404 and 1406 to the degree such 
     prohibitions and requirements would prevent United States 
     cooperation with an investigation or prosecution of a named 
     individual by the International Criminal Court. A waiver 
     under this subsection may be issued only if the President at 
     least 15 days in advance of exercising such authority--
       (1) notifies the appropriate congressional committees of 
     the intention to exercise such authority; and
       (2) determines and reports to the appropriate congressional 
     committees that--
       (A) a waiver pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of the 
     prohibitions and requirements of sections 1405 and 1407 is in 
     effect;
       (B) there is reason to believe that the named individual 
     committed the crime or crimes that are the subject of the 
     International Criminal Court's investigation or prosecution;
       (C) it is in the national interest of the United States for 
     the International Criminal Court's investigation or 
     prosecution of the named individual to proceed; and
       (D) in investigating events related to actions by the named 
     individual, none of the following persons will be 
     investigated, arrested, detained, prosecuted, or imprisoned 
     by or on behalf of the International Criminal Court with 
     respect to actions undertaken by them in an official 
     capacity:
       (i) Covered United States persons.
       (ii) Covered allied persons.
       (iii) Individuals who were covered United States persons or 
     covered allied persons.
       (d) Termination of Waiver Pursuant to Subsection (c).--Any 
     waiver or waivers exercised pursuant to subsection (c) of the 
     prohibitions and requirements of sections 1404 and 1406 shall 
     terminate at any time that a waiver pursuant to subsection 
     (a) or (b) of the prohibitions and requirements of sections 
     1405 and 1407 expires and is not extended pursuant to 
     subsection (b).
       (e) Termination of Prohibitions of This Title.--The 
     prohibitions and requirements of sections 1404, 1405, 1406, 
     and 1407 shall cease to apply, and the authority of section 
     1408 shall terminate, if the United States becomes a party to 
     the International Criminal Court pursuant to a treaty made 
     under article II, section 2, clause 2 of the Constitution of 
     the United States.

     conflict; and
       (2) shall not prohibit--

     SEC. 1405. RESTRICTION ON UNITED STATES PARTICIPATION IN

       (a) Policy.--Effective beginning on the date on which the 
     Rome Statute enters into force pursuant to Article 126 of the 
     Rome Statute, the President should use the voice and vote of 
     the United States in the United Nations Security Council to 
     ensure that each resolution of the Security Council 
     authorizing any peacekeeping operation under chapter VI of 
     the charter of the United Nations or peace enforcement 
     operation under chapter VII of the charter of the United 
     Nations permanently exempts, at a minimum, members of the 
     Armed Forces of the United States participating in such

     jurisdiction by the International Criminal Court for actions 
     undertaken by such personnel in connection with the

     of the Rome Statute, unless the President has submitted to 
     the appropriate congressional committees a certification 
     described in subsection (c) with respect to such operation.

     with Article 98 of the Rome Statute preventing the 
     International Criminal Court from proceeding against members 
     of the Armed Forces of the United States present in that
