To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to prohibiting or limiting the issuance of costly Clean Air Act permit requirements on farmers and ranchers in the United States or the imposition of new Federal methane requirements on livestock.

SA 3115. Ms. ERNST (for herself and Mr. Thune) submitted an amendment
intended to be proposed by her to the concurrent resolution S. Con.
Res. 14, setting forth the congressional budget for the United States
Government for fiscal year 2022 and setting forth the appropriate
budgetary levels for fiscal years 2023 through 2031; which was ordered
to lie on the table; as follows:

At the end of title III, add the following:

SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO
PROHIBITING OR LIMITING THE ISSUANCE OF COSTLY
CLEAN AIR ACT PERMIT REQUIREMENTS ON FARMERS
AND RANCHERS IN THE UNITED STATES OR THE
IMPOSITION OF NEW FEDERAL METHANE REQUIREMENTS
ON LIVESTOCK.

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,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
Federal environmental policies under the Clean Air Act (42
U.S.C. 7401 et seq.), which may include prohibiting or
limiting the issuance of costly permit requirements under
that Act on farmers and ranchers in the United States or the
imposition of any new Federal methane requirements on
livestock that would have the effect of increasing the cost
of beef and other critical products, 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 2022 through 2026 or the
period of the total of fiscal years 2022 through 2031.
