To ensure the expeditious processing of Keystone XL permit applications consistent with current law, prohibit the export of crude oil produced in Canada and transported by the Keystone XL pipeline and related facilities unless the prohibition is waived by the President, and require the use of United States iron, steel, and manufactured goods in the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and related facilities with certain exceptions.

SA 1817. Mr. WYDEN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the bill S. 1813, to reauthorize Federal-aid highway and highway
safety construction programs, and for other purposes; which was ordered
to lie on the table; as follows:

At the end of subtitle E of title I of division A, add the
following:

SEC. __. KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE.

(a) Administration.--
(1) In general.--Except as otherwise specifically provided
in this section, nothing in this section affects any
applicable Federal requirements in connection with the
Keystone XL pipeline (including facilities for the import of
crude oil and other hydrocarbons at the United States-Canada
Border at Phillips County, Montana).
(2) Expeditious analyses and permit decisions.--In
evaluating any new permit applications that may be submitted
related to the Keystone XL pipeline and facilities described
in paragraph (1) or in carrying out the activities described
in this section, the President or a designee of the President
shall--
(A) act as expeditiously as practicable and, to the maximum
extent practicable and consistent with current law, use
existing analyses relating to those pipeline and facilities,
including the environmental impact statement issued by the
Department of State regarding the Keystone XL pipeline on
August 26, 2011; and
(B) issue a decision on any permit application not later
than 90 days after the date on which all analyses and other
actions required by current law and applicable Executive
Orders are completed.
(b) Prohibition on Exports.--
(1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), no crude oil
produced in Canada and transported by the Keystone XL
pipeline or facilities described in subsection (a)(1), or
petroleum products derived from the crude oil, may be
exported from the United States.
(2) Waivers.--The President may grant a waiver from the
application of paragraph (1) if the President--
(A) determines that the waiver is necessary as the result
of--
(i) national security; or
(ii) a natural or manmade disaster; or
(B) makes an express finding that the exports described in
paragraph (1)--
(i) will not diminish the total quantity or quality of
petroleum available in the United States; and
(ii) are in the national interest of the United States.
(c) Use of United States Iron, Steel, and Manufactured
Goods.--
(1) In general.--Subject to paragraphs (2) through (4), the
construction, connection, operation, or maintenance of the
Keystone XL pipeline and facilities described in subsection
(a)(1) shall not be permitted unless all of the iron, steel,
and manufactured goods used for the pipeline and facilities
are produced in the United States.
(2) Nonapplication.--Paragraph (1) shall not apply if the
President or a delegate finds that--
(A) applying paragraph (1) would be inconsistent with the
public interest;
(B) iron, steel, and the applicable manufactured goods are
not produced in the United States in sufficient and
reasonably available quantities with a satisfactory quality;
or
(C) inclusion of iron, steel, and manufactured goods
produced in the United States will increase the cost of the
overall pipeline and facilities by more than 25 percent.
(3) Rationale.--If the President or a delegate determines
that it is necessary to waive the application of paragraph
(1) based on a finding under paragraph (2), the President or
delegate shall publish in the Federal Register a detailed
written justification for the waiver.
(4) International agreements.--This subsection shall be
applied in a manner consistent with United States obligations
under international agreements.
