Section 28 of the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 185) is amended by
amending subsection (s) to read as follows:
``exports of alaskan north slope oil
``(s)(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) through (6) of this subsection
and notwithstanding any other provision of this Act or any other
provision of law (including any regulation) applicable to the export of
oil transported by pipeline over right-of-way granted pursuant to
section 203 of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act (43 U.S.C.
1652), such oil may be exported unless the President finds that
exportation of this oil is not in the national interest. The President
shall make his national interest determination within five months of
the date of enactment of this subsection. In evaluating whether exports
of this oil are in the national interest, the President shall at a
minimum consider--
``(A) whether exports of this oil would diminish the total
quantity or quality of petroleum available to the United States;
``(B) the results of an appropriate environmental review,
including consideration of appropriate measures to mitigate any
potential adverse effects of exports of this oil on the
environment, which shall be completed within four months of the
date of the enactment of this subsection; and
``(C) whether exports of this oil are likely to cause sustained
material oil supply shortages or sustained oil prices significantly
above world market levels that would cause sustained material
adverse employment effects in the United States or that would cause
substantial harm to consumers, including noncontiguous States and
Pacific territories.
If the President determines that exports of this oil are in the
national interest, he may impose such terms and conditions (other than
a volume limitation) as are necessary or appropriate to ensure that
such exports are consistent with the national interest.
``(2) Except in the case of oil exported to a country with which
the United States entered into a bilateral international oil supply
agreement before November 26, 1979, or to a country pursuant to the
International Emergency Oil Sharing Plan of the International Energy
Agency, any oil transported by pipeline over right-of-way granted
pursuant to section 203 of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act
(43 U.S.C. 1652) shall, when exported, be transported by a vessel
documented under the laws of the United States and owned by a citizen
of the United States (as determined in accordance with section 2 of the
Shipping Act, 1916 (46 U.S.C. App. 802)).
``(3) Nothing in this subsection shall restrict the authority of
the President under the Constitution, the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National Emergencies
Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), or Part B of title II of the Energy
Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6271-76) to prohibit exports.
``(4) The Secretary of Commerce shall issue any rules necessary for
implementation of the President's national interest determination,
including any licensing requirements and conditions, within 30 days of
the date of such determination by the President. The Secretary of
Commerce shall consult with the Secretary of Energy in administering
the provisions of this subsection.
``(5) If the Secretary of Commerce finds that exporting oil under
authority of this subsection has caused sustained material oil supply
shortages or sustained oil prices significantly above world market
levels and further finds that these supply shortages or price increases
have caused or are likely to cause sustained material adverse
employment effects in the United States, the Secretary of Commerce, in
consultation with the Secretary of Energy, shall recommend, and the
President may take, appropriate action concerning exports of this oil,
which may include modifying or revoking authority to export such oil.
``(6) Administrative action under this subsection is not subject to
sections 551 and 553 through 559 of title 5, United States Code.''.

subject to this subsection and to transfer any amounts, including
interest, remaining in such account to the Port of Portland for use
in transportation improvements to enhance freight mobility.

TITLE III

-OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF DEEP WATER ROYALTY RELIEF

Section 8(a) of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C.
1337(a)(3)), is amended--
(1) by designating the provisions of paragraph (3) as
subparagraph (A) of such paragraph (3); and
(2) by inserting after subparagraph (A), as so designated, the
following:
``(B) In the Western and Central Planning Areas of the Gulf of
Mexico and the portion of the Eastern Planning Area of the Gulf of
Mexico encompassing whole lease blocks lying west of 87 degrees, 30
minutes West longitude, the Secretary may, in order to--
``(i) promote development or increased production on producing
or non-producing leases; or
``(ii) encourage production of marginal resources on producing
or non-producing leases;
through primary, secondary, or tertiary recovery means, reduce or
eliminate any royalty or net profit share set forth in the
lease(s). With the lessee's consent, the Secretary may make other
modifications to the royalty or net profit share terms of the lease
in order to achieve these purposes.
``(C)(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act other than this
subparagraph, with respect to any lease or unit in existence on the
date of enactment of the Outer Continental Shelf Deep Water Royalty
Relief Act meeting the requirements of this subparagraph, no royalty
payments shall be due on new production, as defined in clause (iv) of
this subparagraph, from any lease or unit located in water depths of
200 meters or greater in the Western and Central Planning Areas of the
Gulf of Mexico, including that portion of the Eastern Planning Area of
the Gulf of Mexico encompassing whole lease blocks lying west of 87
degrees, 30 minutes West longitude, until such volume of production as
determined pursuant to clause (ii) has been produced by the lessee.
``(ii) Upon submission of a complete application by the lessee, the
Secretary shall determine within 180 days of such application whether
new production from such lease or unit would be economic in the absence
of the relief from the requirement to pay royalties provided for by
clause (i) of this subparagraph. In making such determination, the
Secretary shall consider the increased technological and financial risk
of deep water development and all costs associated with exploring,
developing, and producing from the lease. The lessee shall provide
information required for a complete application to the Secretary prior
to such determination. The Secretary shall clearly define the
information required for a complete application under this section.
Such application may be made on the basis of an individual lease or
unit. If the Secretary determines that such new production would be
economic in the absence of the relief from the requirement to pay
royalties provided for by clause (i) of this subparagraph, the
provisions of clause (i) shall not apply to such production. If the
Secretary determines that such new production would not be economic in
the absence of the relief from the requirement to pay royalties
provided for by clause (i), the Secretary must determine the volume of
production from the lease or unit on which no royalties would be due in
order to make such new production economically viable; except that for
new production as defined in clause (iv)(I), in no case will that
volume be less than 17.5 million barrels of oil equivalent in water
depths of 200 to 400 meters, 52.5 million barrels of oil equivalent in
400-800 meters of water, and 87.5 million barrels of oil equivalent in
water depths greater than 800 meters. Redetermination of the
applicability of clause (i) shall be undertaken by the Secretary when
requested by the lessee prior to the commencement of the new production
and upon significant change in the factors upon which the original
determination was made. The Secretary shall make such redetermination
within 120 days of submission of a complete application. The Secretary
may extend the time period for making any determination or
redetermination under this clause for 30 days, or longer if agreed to
by the applicant, if circumstances so warrant. The lessee shall be
notified in writing of any determination or redetermination and the
reasons for and assumptions used for such determination. Any
determination or redetermination under this clause shall be a final
agency action. The Secretary's determination or redetermination shall
be judicially reviewable under section 10(a) of the Administrative
Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 702), only for actions filed within 30 days of
the Secretary's determination or redetermination.
``(iii) In the event that the Secretary fails to make the
determination or redetermination called for in clause (ii) upon
application by the lessee within the time period, together with any
extension thereof, provided for by clause (ii), no royalty payments
shall be due on new production as follows:
``(I) For new production, as defined in clause (iv)(I) of this
subparagraph, no royalty shall be due on such production according
to the schedule of minimum volumes specified in clause (ii) of this
subparagraph.
``(II) For new production, as defined in clause (iv)(II) of
this subparagraph, no royalty shall be due on such production for
one year following the start of such production.
``(iv) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term `new production'
is--
``(I) any production from a lease from which no royalties are
due on production, other than test production, prior to the date of
enactment of the Outer Continental Shelf Deep Water Royalty Relief
Act; or
``(II) any production resulting from lease development
activities pursuant to a Development Operations Coordination
Document, or supplement thereto that would expand production
significantly beyond the level anticipated in the Development
Operations Coordination Document, approved by the Secretary after
the date of enactment of the Outer Continental Shelf Deep Water
Royalty Relief Act.
``(v) During the production of volumes determined pursuant to
clauses (ii) or (iii) of this subparagraph, in any year during which
the arithmetic average of the closing prices on the New York Mercantile
Exchange for light sweet crude oil exceeds $28.00 per barrel, any
production of oil will be subject to royalties at the lease stipulated
royalty rate. Any production subject to this clause shall be counted
toward the production volume determined pursuant to clause (ii) or
(iii). Estimated royalty payments will be made if such average of the
closing prices for the previous year exceeds $28.00. After the end of
the calendar year, when the new average price can be calculated,
lessees will pay any royalties due, with interest but without penalty,
or can apply for a refund, with interest, of any overpayment.
``(vi) During the production of volumes determined pursuant to
clause (ii) or (iii) of this subparagraph, in any year during which the
arithmetic average of the closing prices on the New York Mercantile
Exchange for natural gas exceeds $3.50 per million British thermal
units, any production of natural gas will be subject to royalties at
the lease stipulated royalty rate. Any production subject to this
clause shall be counted toward the production volume determined
pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii). Estimated royalty payments will be
made if such average of the closing prices for the previous year
exceeds $3.50. After the end of the calendar year, when the new average
price can be calculated, lessees will pay any royalties due, with
interest but without penalty, or can apply for a refund, with interest,
of any overpayment.
``(vii) The prices referred to in clauses (v) and (vi) of this
subparagraph shall be changed during any calendar year after 1994 by
the percentage, if any, by which the implicit price deflator for the
gross domestic product changed during the preceding calendar year.''.
