SA 87. Mr. HOEVEN (for himself and Mr. Inhofe) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed to amendment SA 2 proposed by Ms. Murkowski (for herself, Mr. Hoeven, Mr. Barrasso, Mr. Risch, Mr. Lee, Mr. Flake, Mr. Daines, Mr. Manchin, Mr. Cassidy, Mr. Gardner, Mr. Portman, Mr. Alexander, and Mrs. Capito) to the bill S. 1, to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline; as follows: At the appropriate place, insert the following: SEC. ____. SENSE OF CONGRESS ACKNOWLEDGING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT FINDINGS OF THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE PROJECT. It is the sense of Congress that Congress is in agreement with the following findings of the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement issued by the Secretary of State for the Keystone XL Project (referred to in this section as the ``FSEIS''): (1) ``The analyses of potential impacts associated with construction and normal operation of the proposed Project suggest that significant impacts to most resources are not expected along the proposed Project route'' (FSEIS page 4.16- 1, section 4.16). (2) ``The total annual GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions (direct and indirect) attributed to the No Action scenarios range from 28 to 42 percent greater than for the proposed Project'' (FSEIS page ES-34, section ES.5.4.2). (3) ``. . . approval or denial of any one crude oil transport project, including the proposed Project, is unlikely to significantly impact the rate of extraction in the oil sands or the continued demand for heavy crude oil at refineries in the United States based on expected oil prices, oil-sands supply costs, transport costs, and supply-demand scenarios'' (FSEIS page ES-16, section ES.4.1.1). SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON ENERGY COSTS AND SUPPLIES. It is the sense of the Senate that Congress should-- (1) reject efforts to impose economy-wide taxes, fees, mandates, or regulations that will-- (A) increase the cost of energy for families and businesses of the United States; or (B) destroy jobs; and (2) prioritize policies that encourage and enable innovation in the United States that might lead to energy supplies that are more abundant, affordable, clean, diverse, and secure. ______
