National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition letter
Full committee hearing.

Subcommittee hearing.
Witnesses:
Panel 1
Panel 2
Full committee markup. Continued on Wednesday.
The bill terminates several Inflation Reduction Act tax credits:
The bill released would add $5 trillion to primary deficits through 2034 as written, and over $5.5 trillion to primary deficits if made permanent.
The draft would not only extend but also expand most parts of the TCJA. For example, extensions of tax rate cuts would be coupled with a further increase in most bracket thresholds – effectively undoing the original TCJA’s savings from indexing the tax code to the chained CPI. The estate tax exemption would also be increased from roughly $14 million to $15 million. And the 20 percent 199A pass-through deduction would be increased to 22 percent and expanded in other ways.
At the same time, the draft would temporarily boost the standard deduction by an additional $1,000 to $2,000 for four years and boost the Child Tax Credit by an additional $500 (from $2,000 to $2,500). We estimate these expansions will add about $300 billion to the deficit impact of extension as written but roughly $700 billion if made permanent.
Full committee markup. Continued on Wednesday.

This section would rescind the unobligated balance of any amounts made under the following sections of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Notwithstanding any requirements or statutory obligations under federal and state law, including siting, environmental and safety reviews, and permitting, Section 41002 requires an application for a certificate of crossing for cross-border energy infrastructure to include a $50,000 payment, and directs the Federal Electricity Regulatory Commission to issue the certificate. No person may construct, connect, operate, or maintain a cross-border segment for the import or export of designated energy products, or the transmission of electricity, without first obtaining the certificate of crossing. This fee structure does not apply to cross-border segments that were previously approved by a Presidential permit.
Section 41003. Natural gas exports and imports.
Under Section 41003, applications to the Secretary of Energy to export natural gas from the United States to a non-free trade agreement country shall include a $1,000,000 user fee paid by the applicant.

Within one year of payment of the fee, each Federal, State, interstate, or Tribal agency with relevant authorities shall review and approve Federal authorizations, subject to any conditions determined necessary to comply with the underlying statute by the agency. For States, this includes their authorities to impose conditions for any certifying authorities delegated to States by federal law. Following such approval, the Federal Electricity Regulatory Commission (FERC) shall review the application and approve the application subject to any conditions determined necessary by FERC.
The Commission may extend this timeline by a period of 6 months if granted consent by the applicant. Should the authorization not be approved under the applicable deadline, it shall be deemed approved, notwithstanding any procedural requirements of the underlying law. No court shall have jurisdiction to review a claim under this section except for a claim brought by the applicant or a person who has suffered, or likely and imminently will suffer, direct and irreparable economic harm from the approval. An organization may only bring a claim on behalf of one or more of its members if each member of the organization or association has suffered, or likely and imminently will suffer, harm. Courts shall apply clear and convincing evidence as the standard of review for such claims. The United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit shall have original and exclusive jurisdiction over any claim alleging the invalidity of the process or that the federal authorization is beyond the scope of authority granted by the federal law to such agency.
Section 41006. Carbon dioxide, oil, and hydrogen pipeline permitting.

The program would provide compensation to sponsors of federally permitted energy projects that enroll in the program for unrecoverable capital losses caused by subsequent federal actions that revoke permits or approvals, or cancel, delay, or render the project unviable. The program would be available to applicants who invest in energy projects relating to coal, critical minerals, oil, natural gas, or nuclear energy and are valued at no less than $30 million. The sponsors would pay 5 percent of their projected share of capital contribution to the project and an annual premium into a Treasury Department fund. Upon demonstration of unrecoverable losses due to subsequent federal actions that caused the losses, the Secretary of Energy would compensate the project sponsor for up to the full amount of the loss from the available funds.
Section 41008. Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Section 41008 appropriates $2,000,000,000 to the Department of Energy for fiscal year 2025 for activities related to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Of this amount, $218,000,000 is appropriated for repairs to the caverns, and $1,321,000,000 is appropriated for the acquisition of petroleum products for storage in the Strategic Petroleum Reserves.
