  SEC. 2. STATE PARTICIPATION AND PRESIDENTIAL DESIGNATION.
  
      (a) Designation Requirement.--Not later than 90 days after the date 
  of enactment of this Act, the President shall designate no less than 3 
  closed military installations, or portions thereof, subject to 
  subsection (c)(2), that are appropriate for the purposes of siting a 
  refinery.
      (b) Analysis of Refinery Sites.--In considering any site for 
  possible designation under subsection (a), the President shall conduct 
  an analysis of--
              (1) the availability of crude oil supplies to the site, 
          including supplies from domestic production of shale oil and 
          tar sands and other strategic unconventional fuels;
              (2) the distribution of the Nation's refined petroleum 
          product demand;
              (3) whether such site is in close proximity to substantial 
          pipeline infrastructure, including both crude oil and refined 
          petroleum product pipelines, and potential infrastructure 
          feasibility;
              (4) the need to diversify the geographical location of the 
          domestic refining capacity;
              (5) the effect that increased refined petroleum products 
          from a refinery on that site may have on the price and supply 
          of gasoline to consumers;
              (6) the impact of locating a refinery on the site on the 
          readiness and operations of the Armed Forces; and
              (7) such other factors as the President considers 
          appropriate.
      (c) Sale or Disposal.--

          subsection (a).
              (2) Governor's objection.--No site may be used for a 
          refinery under this Act if, not later than 60 days after 
          designation of the site under subsection (a), the Governor of 
          the State in which the site is located transmits to the 
          President an objection to the designation, unless, not later 
          than 60 days after the President receives such objection, the 
          Congress has by law overridden the objection.

          real property at the installation pursuant to the base closure 
          law applicable to the installation, shall give substantial 
          deference to the recommendations of the redevelopment

              (1) In general.--The Department of Energy shall act as the 
          lead agency for the purposes of coordinating all applicable 
          Federal refinery authorizations and related environmental 
          reviews with respect to a designated refinery.
              (2) Other agencies.--Each Federal and State agency or 
          official required to provide a Federal refinery authorization 
          shall cooperate with the Secretary and comply with the 
          deadlines established by the Secretary.
      (b) Schedule.--
              (1) Secretary's authority to set schedule.--The Secretary 
          shall establish a schedule for all Federal refinery 
          authorizations with respect to a designated refinery. In 
          establishing the schedule, the Secretary shall--
                      (A) ensure expeditious completion of all such 
                  proceedings; and
                      (B) accommodate the applicable schedules 
                  established by Federal law for such proceedings.
              (2) Failure to meet schedule.--If a Federal or State 
          administrative agency or official does not complete a 
          proceeding for an approval that is required for a Federal 
          refinery authorization in accordance with the schedule 
          established by the Secretary under this subsection, the 
          applicant may pursue remedies under subsection (d).
      (c) Consolidated Record.--The Secretary shall, with the cooperation 
  of Federal and State administrative agencies and officials, maintain a 
  complete consolidated record of all decisions made or actions taken by 
  the Secretary or by a Federal administrative agency or officer (or 
  State administrative agency or officer acting under delegated Federal 
  authority) with respect to any Federal refinery authorization. Such 
  record shall be the record for judicial review under subsection (d) of 
  decisions made or actions taken by Federal and State administrative 
  agencies and officials, except that, if the Court determines that the 
  record does not contain sufficient information, the Court may remand 
  the proceeding to the Secretary for further development of the 
  consolidated record.
      (d) Judicial Review.--
              (1) In general.--The United States Court of Appeals for the 
          District of Columbia shall have original and exclusive 
          jurisdiction over any civil action for the review of--
                      (A) an order or action, related to a Federal 
                  refinery authorization, by a Federal or State 
                  administrative agency or official; and
                      (B) an alleged failure to act by a Federal or State 
                  administrative agency or official acting pursuant to a 
                  Federal refinery authorization.
          The failure of an agency or official to act on a Federal 
          refinery authorization in accordance with the Secretary's 
          schedule established pursuant to subsection (b) shall be 
          considered inconsistent with Federal law for the purposes of 
          paragraph (2) of this subsection.
              (2) Court action.--If the Court finds that an order or 
          action described in paragraph (1)(A) is inconsistent with the 
          Federal law governing such Federal refinery authorization, or 
          that a failure to act as described in paragraph (1)(B) has 
          occurred, and the order, action, or failure to act would 
          prevent the siting, construction, expansion, or operation of 
          the designated refinery, the Court shall remand the proceeding 
          to the agency or official to take appropriate action consistent 
          with the order of the Court. If the Court remands the order, 
          action, or failure to act to the Federal or State 
          administrative agency or official, the Court shall set a 
          reasonable schedule and deadline for the agency or official to 
          act on remand.
              (3) Secretary's action.--For any civil action brought under 
          this subsection, the Secretary shall promptly file with the 
          Court the consolidated record compiled by the Secretary 
          pursuant to subsection (c).
              (4) Expedited review.--The Court shall set any civil action 
          brought under this subsection for expedited consideration.
              (5) Attorney's fees.--In any action challenging a Federal 
          refinery authorization that has been granted, reasonable 
          attorney's fees and other expenses of litigation shall be 
          awarded to the prevailing party. This paragraph shall not apply 
          to any action seeking remedies for denial of a Federal refinery 
          authorization or failure to act on an application for a Federal 
          refinery authorization.
