          (1) Commission.--The term ``Commission'' means the 
        Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
          (2) Cost-of-service based rate.--The term ``cost-of-
        service based rate'' means a rate, charge, or 
        classification for the sale of electric energy that is 
        equal to--
                  (A) all the reasonable variable costs for 
                producing the electric energy;
                  (B) all the reasonable fixed costs for 
                producing the electric energy;
                  (C) a reasonable risk premium or return on 
                invested capital; and
                  (D) all other reasonable costs associated 
                with the production, acquisition, conservation, 
                and transmission of electric power.
          (3) Public utility.--The term ``public utility'' has 
        the meaning given the term in section 201 of the 
        Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 824).
          (4) Western energy market.--The term ``western energy 
        market'' means the area within the United States that 
        is covered by the Western Systems Coordinating Council.
  (b) Imposition of Wholesale Electric Energy Rates.--Not later 
than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
Commission shall impose just and reasonable cost-of-service 
based rates on sales by public utilities of electric energy at 
wholesale in the western energy market. The Commission shall 
not impose such rates under authority of this subsection on any 
facility generating electric energy that did not generate 
electric energy at any time prior to January 1, 2001.
  (c) Authority of State Regulatory Authorities.--This section 
does not diminish or have any other effect on the authority of 
a State regulatory authority (as defined in section 3 of the 
Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 796)) to regulate rates and 
charges for the sale of electric energy to consumers, including 
the authority to determine the manner in which wholesale rates 
shall be passed through to consumers (including the setting of 
tiered pricing, real-time pricing, and baseline rates).
  (d) Repeal.--Effective on the date 18 months after the 
enactment of this Act, this section is repealed, and any cost-
of-service based rate imposed under this section that is then 
in effect shall no longer be effective.

SEC.    . ENCOURAGEMENT OF STATE AND PROVINCIAL PROHIBITIONS ON OFF-
                    SHORE DRILLING IN THE GREAT LAKES.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
          (1) The water resources of the Great Lakes Basin are 
        precious public natural resources, shared and held in 
        trust by the States of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, 
        Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, 
        and the Canadian Province of Ontario.
          (2) The environmental dangers associated with off-
        shore drilling in the Great Lakes for oil and gas 
        outweigh the potential benefits of such drilling.
          (3) In accordance with the Submerged Lands Act (43 
        U.S.C. 1301 et seq.), each State that borders any of 
        the Great Lakes has authority over the area between 
        that State's coastline and the boundary of Canada or 
        another State.
          (4) The States of Illinois, Michigan, New York, 
        Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin each have a statutory 
        prohibition of off-shore drilling in the Great Lakes 
        for oil and gas.
          (5) The States of Indiana, Minnesota, and Ohio do not 
        have such a prohibition.
          (6) The Canadian Province of Ontario does not have 
        such a prohibition, and drilling for and production of 
        gas occurs in the Canadian portion of Lake Erie.
  (b) Encouragement of State and Provincial Prohibitions.--The 
Congress encourages--
          (1) the States of Illinois, Michigan, New York, 
        Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to continue to prohibit 
        off-shore drilling in the Great Lakes for oil and gas;
          (2) the States of Indiana, Minnesota, and Ohio and 
        the Canadian Province of Ontario to enact a prohibition 
        of such drilling; and
          (3) the Canadian Province of Ontario to require the 
        cessation of any such drilling and any production 
        resulting from such drilling.
                              ----------

between grants for research on Eastern oil shale and grants for 
research on Western oil shale.
