Full Analysis
HR9746, introduced on July 16, 2026, by Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-CA-3), would amend the Internal Revenue Code to provide investment and production tax credits for biomass facilities. The bill distinguishes between open-loop (waste-derived) and closed-loop (dedicated energy crop) biomass. As a tax credit, it does not appropriate funds but reduces federal revenue; the exact credit rate is not specified in the provided data. The bill is in the earliest stage—referred to committee—and has zero cosponsors, indicating minimal legislative momentum. The sponsor is a junior Independent member, further reducing near-term passage probability. No related bills, amendments, or committee reports were provided. The legislative path requires committee markup, House floor vote, Senate companion, and presidential action—all uncertain. For investors, this is a procedural signal with no actionable market implications until the bill advances.

Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources to Promote American Chemical Manufacturing Security
President Trump issued a proclamation exempting certain chemical manufacturing facilities from compliance with the EPA's HON Rule for two years, citing unavailability of required technology and national security concerns. The exemption delays emissions-control deadlines and maintains pre-HON Rule standards for listed stationary sources, invoking authority under Clean Air Act section 112(i)(4).
Modifying the Bears Ears National Monument
This proclamation reverses the 2021 expansion of Bears Ears National Monument, reducing its protected area from approximately 1.36 million acres to about 121,096 acres. It invokes the Antiquities Act to exclude lands deemed not meeting legal criteria for monument status, returning them to prior federal multi-use management (BLM/USFS) and freeing them for non-monument uses like energy development, mining, and grazing.
Modifying the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument
This proclamation revokes the 2021 expansion of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, reducing its size from approximately 1.87 million acres to about 181,541 acres. It cites the Antiquities Act to argue that the prior expansion was not confined to the smallest area needed to protect objects of historic or scientific interest, and it emphasizes the presence of critical minerals (e.g., uranium, cobalt, copper) that are vital to economic and national security. The action directs the Bureau of Land Management to manage the reduced monument and opens the removed lands to potential mining and energy development.
