     recoupable expenditures for the reduction, avoidance, or 
     sequestration of greenhouse gas emissions. For purposes of 
     this subsection, an expenditure shall be considered voluntary 
     and non recoupable if the expenditure is not recoupable--
       (A) from revenues generated from the investment, determined 
     under generally accepted accounting standards (or under the 
     applicable rate-of-return regulation, in the case of a 
     taxpayer subject to such regulation), or
       (B) from any tax or other financial incentive program 
     established under Federal, State, or local law.

     reduction, avoidance, or sequestration of greenhouse gas 
     emissions and to ensure that the incentives established by or 
     pursuant to this Act do not advantage one segment of an 
     industry to the disadvantage of another, it is the sense of 
     Congress that such incentives should be available for 
     individuals, organizations, and entities, including both for-
     profit and non-profit institutions.
       (2) Level playing field study and report.--
       (A) In general.--The Secretary of the Treasury and the 
     Secretary of Energy shall jointly study possible additional 
     measures that would provide non-profit entities (such as 
     municipal utilities and energy cooperatives) with economic 
     incentives for greenhouse gas emissions facilities comparable 
     to those incentives provided to taxpayers under the 
     amendments made to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 by this 
     Act.
       (B) Report.--Within 6 months after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of 
     Energy shall jointly report to Congress on the results of the 
     study described in subparagraph (A), along with any

     SEC.   . IMPLEMENTATION.

       (a) Guidelines.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
     establishment of the registry pursuant to this title, the 
     Secretary shall, in consultation with the Interagency Task 
     Force, issue guidelines establishing procedures for the 
     administration of the national registry. Such guidelines 
     shall include--
       (1) means and methods for persons or entities to determine, 
     quantify, and report by appropriate and credible means their 
     baseline emissions levels on an annual basis, taking into 
     consideration any reports made by such participants under 
     past Federal programs;
       (2) procedures for the use of an independent third-party or 
     other effective verification process for reports on emissions 
     levels and emissions reductions, using the authorities 
     available to the Secretary under this and other provisions of 
     law and taking into account, to the extent possible, costs, 
     risks, the voluntary nature of the registry, and other 
     relevant factors;
       (3) a range of reference cases for reporting of project-
     based reductions in various sectors, and the inclusion of 
     benchmark and default methodologies and practices for use as 
     reference cases for eligible projects;
       (4) safeguards to prevent and address reporting, 
     inadvertently or otherwise, of some or all of the same 
     greenhouse gas emissions or reductions by more than one 
     reporting person or entity and to make corrections and 
     adjustments in data where necessary;
       (5) procedures and criteria for the review and registration 
     of ownership or holding of all or part of any reported and 
     independently verified emission reduction projects, actions 
     and measures relative to such reported baseline emissions 
     level;
       (6) measures or a process for providing to such persons or 
     entitles transferable credits with unique serial numbers for 
     such verified emissions reductions; and
       (7) accounting provisions needed to allow for changes in 
     registration and transfer of ownership of such credits 
     resulting from a voluntary private transaction between 
     persons or entities, provided that the Secretary is 
     notified of any such transfer within 30 days of the 
     transfer having been effected either by private contract 
     or market mechanism.
       (b) Consideration.--In developing such guidelines, the 
     Secretary shall take into consideration--
       (1) the existing guidelines for voluntary emissions 
     reporting issued under section 1605(b) of the Energy Policy 
     Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 13385(b)), experience in apply such 
     guidelines, and any revisions thereof initiated by the 
     Secretary pursuant to direction of the President issued prior 
     to the enactment of this title;
       (2) protocols and guidelines developed under any Federal, 
     State, local, or private voluntary greenhouse gas emissions 
     reporting or reduction programs;
       (3) the various differences and potential uniqueness of the 
     facilities, operations and business and other relevant 
     practices of persons and entities in the private and public 
     sectors that may be expected to participate in the registry;
       (4) issues, such as comparability, that are associated with 
     the reporting of both emissions baselines and reductions from 
     activities and projects; and
       (5) the appropriate level or threshold emissions applicable 
     to a facility or activity of a person or entity that may be 
     reasonably and cost effectively identified, measured and 
     reported voluntarily taking into consideration different 
     types of facilities and activities and the de minimis nature 
     of some emissions and their sources; and
       (6) any other consideration the Secretary may deem 
     appropriate.
       (c) Experts and Consultants.--The Secretary, and any member 
     of the Interagency Task Force, may secure the services of 
     experts and consultants in the private and non-profit sectors 
     in accordance with the provisions of section 3109 of title 5, 
     United States Code, in the areas of greenhouse gas 
     measurement, certification, and emissions trading. In 
     securing such services, any grant, contract, cooperative 
     agreement, or other arrangement authorized by law and already 
     available to the Secretary or the member of the Interagency 
     Task Force securing such services may be used.
       (d) Transferability of Prior Reports.--Emissions reports 
     and reductions that have been made by a person or entity 
     pursuant to section 1605(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 
     (42 U.S.C. 13385(b)) or under other Federal or State 
     voluntary greenhouse gas reduction programs may be 
     independently verified and registered with the registry using 
     the same guidelines developed by the Secretary pursuant to 
     this section.
       (e) Public Comment.--The Secretary shall make such 
     guidelines available in draft form for public notice and 
     opportunity for comment for a period of at least 90 days, and 
     thereafter shall adopt them for use in implementation of the 
     registry established pursuant to this title.
       (f) Review and Revision.--The Secretary, through the 
     Interagency Task Force, shall periodically thereafter review 
     the guidelines and, as needed, revise them in the same manner 
     as provided for in this section.

     SEC.  . VOLUNTARY AGREEMENTS.

       (a) In General.--In furtherance of the purposes of this 
     title, any person or entity, and the Secretary, may

     baseline emissions level for a representative period 
     preceding the effective date of the agreement; and
       (B) emissions reduction goals, taking into consideration 
     the baseline emissions level determined under subparagraph 
     (A) and any relevant economic and operational factors that 
     may affect such baseline emissions level over the duration of 
     the agreement; and
       (4) for certified emissions reductions made relative to the 
     baseline emissions level, the Secretary shall provide, at the 
     request of the person or entity, transferable credits (with 
     unique assigned serial numbers) to the person or entity (and 
     successors thereto) which, inter alia,--
       (A) can be used by such person or entity towards meeting 
     emissions reductions goals set forth under the agreement;

     adequately address the issues of permanence, leakage and 
     verification; and
       (4) such other measurement and certification standards as 
     the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Agriculture, and 
     the Secretary of Energy shall determine to be appropriate.
       (b) Public Comment.--The Secretary of Commerce shall make 
     such standards and practices available in draft form for 
     public notice and opportunity for comment for a period of at 
     least 90 days, and thereafter shall adopt them, in 
     coordination with the Secretary of Energy, for use in the 
     guidelines for implementation of the registry as issued 
     pursuant to this title.

     SEC.  . CERTIFIED INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTIES.

       (a) Certification.--The Secretary of Commerce shall, 
     through the Director of the National Institute of Standards 
     and Technology and the Administrator, develop standards for 
     certification of independent persons to act as certified 
     parties to be employed in verifying the accuracy and 
     reliability of reports made under this title, including 
     standards that--
       (1) prohibit a certified party from themselves 
     participating in the registry through the ownership or 
     transaction of transferable credits recorded in the registry;
       (2) prohibit the receipt by a certified party of 
     compensation in the form of a commission where such party 
     receives payment based on the amount of emissions reductions 
     verified; and
       (3) authorize such certified parties to enter into 
     agreements with persons engaged in trading of transferable 
     credits recorded in the registry.
       (b) List of Certified Parties.--The Secretary shall 
     maintain and make available to persons or entities making
