title 23, United States Code, if the Secretary finds that

section.

Subtitle B--National Infrastructure Bank

SEC. 911. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) According to the American Society of Civil Engineers,
the current condition of the infrastructure in the United
States earns a grade point average of D, and an estimated
$2,200,000,000,000 investment is needed over the next 5 years
to meet adequate conditions.
(2) According to the National Surface Transportation Policy
and Revenue Study Commission, $225,000,000,000 is needed
annually from all sources for the next 50 years to upgrade
our surface transportation system to a state of good repair
and create a more advanced system.
(3) According to the Federal Highway Administration up to
$131,700,000,000 must be invested annually for a 20-year
period to improve bridge efficiencies and the physical
condition and operational performance of the highway system
of the United States.
(4) According to the Federal Transit Administration, up to
$21,800,000,000 must be invested annually for a 20-year
period to improve conditions and performance of the major
transit systems of the United States.
(5) The Environmental Protection Agency projects that--
(A) $183,600,000,000 is needed for installation and
maintenance of drinking water transmission and distribution
systems through 2022; and
(B) $202,500,000,000 is needed for publicly owned
wastewater systems-related infrastructure needs through 2024.
(6) According to the Edison Electric Institute, to maintain
current levels of service

[[Page S9273]]

given expected growth in demand, electric utilities need to
invest an annual average of--
(A) $28,000,000,000 for generation;
(B) $12,000,000,000 for transmission; and
(C) $34,000,000,000 for distribution of electricity.
(7) According to the American Council on Renewable Energy,
renewable energy could provide up to 635 gigawatts of new
electricity generating capacity by 2025--a substantial
contribution and potentially more than the Nation's need for
new capacity, according to the United States Energy
Information Administration.
(8) According to the United States Green Building Council,
United States buildings account for 38.9 percent of primary
energy use, 38 percent of carbon emissions, and 72 percent of
electricity consumption.
(9) There are over 1,200,000 units of public housing
nationwide, with an accumulated capital needs backlog of
approximately $18,000,000,000, with an additional
$2,000,000,000 accruing each year.
(10) According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD), the United States ranks 15th among
OECD nations in broadband access per 100 inhabitants.
(11) Although grant programs of the Government must
continue to play a central role in financing the
transportation, environment, energy, and telecommunications
infrastructure needs of the United States, current and
foreseeable demands on existing Federal, State, and local
funding for infrastructure expansion exceed the resources to
support these programs by margins wide enough to prompt
serious concerns about the United States' ability to sustain
long-term economic development, productivity, and
international competitiveness.
(12) The capital markets, including central banks, pension
funds, financial institutions, sovereign wealth funds and
insurance companies, have a growing interest in
infrastructure investment. The establishment of a United
States Government-owned institution that would provide this
investment opportunity through high quality bond issues that
would be used to finance qualifying infrastructure projects
would attract needed capital for United States infrastructure
development.
