SEC. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO INCREASING FUNDING FOR PROCESSING CERTAIN PERMITS.

The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate may revise the allocations of a committee or committees, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to increasing funding for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and other relevant permitting agencies so that approvals of additive gas transmission capacity in supply-constrained areas of the United States, including the 6 New England States, can be processed as quickly as possible while respecting all applicable environmental, health, and safety laws, by the amounts provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided that such legislation would not increase the deficit over either the period of the total of fiscal years 2016 through 2020 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
