#bjag,mr4 ,sensenbrenner introduced the 
following bill2 which was referred to   
the ,committee on ,energy and ,commerce1
 and in addition to the ,committee on   
,science1 ,space1 and ,technology1 for a
 period to be subsequently determined by
 the ,speaker1 in each case for         
consideration of such provisions as fall
 within the jurisdiction of the         
committee concerned  ,a ,,bill  ,to     
require that until a comprehensive study
 is completed1 the volume of cellulosic 
biofuel mandated under the renewable    
fuel program be limited to what is      
commercially available1 and for other   
purposes4  #a4 ,mandate for cellulosic  
biofuel limited to commercial           
availability until completion of        
comprehensive study  7a7 ,limitation    
,until the ,administrator of the        
,environmental ,protection ,agency      
submits to ,congress a report on the    

study described in subsection 7b71 and  
notwithstanding section #baa7o7 of the  
,clean ,air ,act 7#db ,u4,s4,c4         
#gede7o771 the ,administrator of the    
,environmental ,protection ,agency may  
not require1 for any calendar year1 that
 transportation fuel sold or introduced 
into commerce in the ,united ,states    
contain more than a total volume of     
cellulosic biofuel than the total volume
 of cellulosic biofuel that was         
commercially available for the most     
recent calendar year for which such     
total volume is known4  7b7 ,parameters 
of the study ,the ,administrator of the 
,environmental ,protection ,agency shall
 enter into an arrangement with the     
,national ,academies for a comprehensive
 study on--  7#a7 the production        
capacity for cellulosic biofuel at the  
time of the study in gallons per year2  
7#b7 the resources needed to ensure that
 transportation fuel sold or introduced 
into commerce in the ,united ,states    
contains at least #af billion gallons of

 cellulosic biofuel in calendar year    
#bjbb1 in accordance with section       
#baa7o7 of the ,clean ,air ,act1        
including--  7,a7 the number of         
cellulosic ethanol facilities to be     
constructed2  7,b7 the acres of land to 
be used2 and  7,c7 the total capital    
investment needed2  7#c7 the energy     
produced by the combustion of #af       
billion gallons of cellulosic biofuel in
 comparison to the energy required to   
produce such amount of cellulosic       
biofuel2  7#d7 the environmental impacts
 of producing cellulosic biofuel1       
including the net effect on global      
life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions2    
7#e7 the processes being developed to   
produce cellulosic biofuel1 including   
the technology needed to make cellulosic
 biofuel commercially viable2 and  7#f7 
the economics of a cellulosic ethanol   
facility1 including-- 7,a7 the cost of  
feedstock acquisition2  7,b7 the typical
 facility size2  7,c7 the relative      
economics of a corn ethanol facility    

compared to a cellulosic biofuel        
facility2 and  7,d7 the price per gallon
 of transportation fuel that contains   
cellulosic biofuel required for such    
fuel to be profitable4  7c7 ,exclusions 
for purposes of study ,for purposes of  
the study described in subsection 7b71  
the term cellulosic biofuel does not    
include any compressed natural gas1     
liquefied natural gas1 or electricity   
used to power electric vehicles that is 
produced from biogas from--  7#a7 a     
landfill2  7#b7 a municipal wastewater  
treatment facility digester2  7#c7 a    
separated municipal solid waste         
digester2 or  7#d7 an agricultural      
digester4  #b4 ,prohibitions on new     
appropriations ,no additional funds are 
authorized to be appropriated to carry  
out this ,act1 and this ,act shall be   
carried out using amounts otherwise made
 available for science and technology1  
including research and development
