we are at the end of the day after having turned to the Energy Policy Modernization Act. We have had some Members come to the floor to speak to the significance and the importance of finally, after almost 8 years now, updating and modernizing our energy infrastructure, our energy supply, our energy efficiency and accountability within the energy space. I know that we are going to be continuing to work to address not only much of what is contained within the bill but also amendments from colleagues. We have solicited and have received a fair number of amendments today. The ranking member and I are processing these and looking, again, not only to set up a unanimous consent agreement here this evening, but I will take this opportunity to remind colleagues that if you have amendments that you wish to be brought up, please file them, and please come to the floor to speak to them.

Amendments Nos. 2968, 2963, 3017, 2982, 3021, and 2965 En Bloc to Amendment No. 2953
