Driving the day

INFRASTRUCTURE BILL, AT LAST: Senators unveiled the bill text for the bipartisan infrastructure plan on Sunday night, kicking off the real-deal, we-mean-it-this-time Infrastructure Week. Here’s a rundown on how the cards played out:

No senator got more single wins in the package than Energy Chair Joe Manchin, whose handiwork forms the basis for much of the $1.2 trillion bill, report Pro’s Anthony Adragna, Zack Colman, Alex Guillén, Ben Lefebvre, Annie Snider and Kelsey Tamborrino. His Energy Infrastructure Act, advanced through the Senate Energy Committee, was a major building block, with tens of billions going to drought mitigation, coastal resilience, ecosystem restoration, coal communities, carbon capture technologies, domestic critical mineral development and mine clean up.

But not everyone who offered legislative contributions got so much in return. Senators in the Environment and Public Works Committee saw much of their overwhelmingly bipartisan water bill whittled away. One of EPW Chair Tom Carper’s major priorities, expanded grant programs for low income communities to upgrade water and sewage, lost funding in the BIF, as did several other grant programs.

Lead pipe removal will get $15 billion, and PFAS remediation will get $10 billion — both major boosts from current levels, but still far below what the White House and industry experts say is needed to fully address lead in the nation’s water supply. Annie and Alex go deeper into the water provisions here.

Carper, along with Sens. Ben Cardin and Tammy Duckworth, joined with House progressives to voice their discontent with the gutting to Congressional leaders. “It may not be in this bill, but there’s agreement to fix it,” Carper has told reporters.

including nuclear ($6 billion over 5 years to keep current plants online), transmission ($2.5 billion in borrowing authority), carbon capture ($12.5 billion to commercialize projects and $2.1 billion for pipelines) and more.

The signals from the past week indicate there's comfortable bipartisan support, which gives Majority Leader Chuck Schumer hope the chamber can pass it “in a matter of days.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told a bipartisan group of colleagues last week that he would support the package if it’s what they had agreed on and was not a Democrat-written bill. McConnell had kept his cards close to the chest for weeks on how he would proceed with the package, but ultimately said it was a “focused compromise” he was “happy” to advance, report Pro’s Burgess Everett and Marianne LeVine.

And Senate Democrats plan to back the measure, despite it falling short on many progressives’ asks. Climate hawks hope it will be a down payment on a much more ambitious climate package in the $3.5 trillion budget package Democrats plan to push on their own — and potentially more legislation after that.

But there have been a few splashes of cold water coming from the center, with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) saying last week that she has issues with the $3.5 trillion price tag. And Manchin said Sunday on CNN that there was no “guarantee” that the budget package would pass.

"I can't really guarantee anybody," he said. "And I have not guaranteed anybody on any of these pieces of legislation. Would we like to do more? Yes, you can do what you can pay for. This is paid for, our infrastructure bill is all paid for."

On the Hill

UP IN COMMITTEE: The House is out on recess, but the Senate is in session for one more week (unless Majority Leader Chuck Schumer keeps senators behind to finish the BIF next week). Here’s what’s going on in committee this week on energy and environment.

The Senate Appropriations committee is meeting Wednesday to mark up the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (H.R. 4549, 117). The House energy and water appropriations bill was folded into a seven-bill minibus, (H.R. 4502 (117)) which passed the chamber on a 219-208 vote last week.

A number of nominees will also get attention in committee this week. The Senate Energy Committee is meeting Tuesday to consider Geraldine Richmond to be Under Secretary at DOE for Science; Cynthia Weiner Stachelberg to be an Assistant Secretary of the Interior (Policy, Management, and Budget); and Asmeret Berhe to be director of DOE’s Office of Science. The Environment and Public Works Committee is meeting Wednesday to consider Amanda Howe to be EPA assistant administrator for mission support, David Uhlmann to be EPA assistant administrator for enforcement and compliance assurance and Carlton Waterhouse to be EPA assistant administrator of land and emergency management. And Senate Ag is meeting Thursday to consider Homer Wilkes to be under secretary of Agriculture for natural resources and environment.

And on Thursday, the Senate Energy Committee will meet again for a hearing to look at the programs inside DOE’s Office of Science.

ELECTRIC HOUSE: House Democrats introduced the Zero-Emission Homes Act on Friday that would provide rebates for installing zero-emission appliances in homes. Sen. Martin Heinrich led 11 of his colleagues in introducing a Senate version back in mid July. Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL), chair of the Select Climate Crisis Committee, and Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY), chair of Energy and Commerce's Subcommittee on Environment and Climate Change, led the introduction of the House bill. Rewiring America, a nonprofit focused on electrification, conducted research for Heinrich’s team and released a report finding that 86 percent of homes would save money by installing all-electric equipment. Switching to electric appliances would also create over a million jobs, the report found. Read a summary of the bill here and bill text here.

Around the Agencies

WOTUS AUGUST: The Biden administration will hold public engagement sessions throughout this month as it considers which streams and waterways are protected under the Clean Water Act. The move is in step with the administration’s plans to reverse a Trump-era rule that drastically decreased the number of waterways protected under the act.

EPA, the Army and the Department of Agriculture will host the sessions, Pro’s Annie Snider reports. The administration has not yet released a timeline when it will reverse the Trump-era rule.

FEMA’S FUTURE FLOODS FLAW: The Government Accountability Office recommended Congress update the flood risk information used in FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program. The program requires flood insurance for properties in high-risk areas, but many of those risk assessments are out of date or don’t account for changing threats due to climate change, GAO said in a recent report.

NO OIL FOR NORTH KOREA: A federal judge issued an order on Friday to seize a Singaporean-owned oil tanker for allegedly shipping oil into North Korea. The ship was engaged in transactions using U.S. dollars and unwitting U.S. banks — in violation of U.S. sanctions barring commercial transactions with North Korea using the U.S. financial system. The M/T Courageous was allegedly involved in ship-to-ship transfers with North Korea-bound ships, as well as direct shipments into Nampo, North Korea, the Justice Department said in a release.

Cambodian authorities seized the ship in 2020 and held it under a U.S. seizure warrant. The ship’s owner, Singaporean citizen Kwek Kee Seng, remains at large, according to DOJ.

Beyond the Beltway

SOLAR TARIFF FIGHT: Auxin Solar and Suniva Inc. are pushing to extend Trump-era tariffs on certain solar parts for another four years, shoving Biden into the middle of a fight that has divided the solar industry. The Section 201 tariffs were imposed in 2018 to protect U.S. manufacturers as China dominated the manufacture of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells and modules. But the Solar Energy Industries Association decried the tariffs as needlessly raising consumer costs for solar panels as the administration pushes for more renewable generation.

The solar manufacturers are planning to petition the International Trade Commission for the extension, Pro’s Kelsey Tamborrino reports, eventually landing on Biden’s desk to approve.
