8. 2014-11-13DEBATE - The House proceeded with 10 minutes of debate on the Capps motion to recommit with instructions, pending reservation of a point order. The instructions contained in the motion seek to require the bill to be reported back to the House with an amendment requiring TransCanada, the developer of the Keystone XL pipeline, to certify to the President that the oil or other products derived from Canadian oil sands that are transported through the pipeline will be treated similarly to conventional crude oil for the purposes of determining contributions that fund the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. Companies that transport oil are required to pay 8-cents per barrel into the trust fund that is used by the federal government to respond to oil spills. Oil sands crude is currently exempt from making such contributions. Subsequently, the reservation of a point of order was withdrawn.
