The proposed amendments to HR 3221 have been submitted and are available for review, as are those for HR 2776.
Of significance for HR 3221:
- Both major CAFE standards bills, Markey-Platts, and Hill-Terry, were withdrawn. Barton’s CAFE bill is still on the slate as Amendment #62
- Udall-Platts (HR 969), the Renewable Energy Standard, is on the slate as Amendment #96 and probably has enough votes for passage
- Herseth Sandlin submitted Amendment #81 to change the Renewable Fuels Standard program to require the production of 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels by 2022
- Boustany’s Amendment #9 makes the Secretary of Energy a statutory member of the National Security Council
- Shay’s Amendment #105 doubles the funding for the Weatherization Assistance Program
HR 2776:
- McCrery submitted the Republican substitute for the tax package as Amendment #7
