This section states two congressional findings. It says the United States must reduce its dependence on imported petroleum and natural gas by economically and environmentally feasible means, including biomass energy, and must create and carry out a sustainable national biomass-energy program.

Congress finds that— (1) the United States must reduce its dependence on imported petroleum and natural gas by every means that is economically and environmentally feasible, including using biomass-energy resources; and (2) a national program to increase the production and use of biomass energy must be formulated and carried out within a multiple-use framework. The program must not harm the Nation’s ability to produce food and fiber sustainably for domestic use and for export.
