Not later than 5 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Energy and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall jointly issue a rule to establish a program to recover and recycle used lithium batteries, to be known as the National Battery Recycling Program, under which— the Secretary shall identify and approve facilities that recycle lithium batteries and make publicly available a list of such approved facilities, which shall include each facility that is a recipient of a grant to recycle lithium batteries under section 40207 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ( 42 U.S.C. 18741 ); and the Secretary and Administrator shall award grants, on a competitive basis, to such approved facilities to establish and implement a system for the acceptance and collection of used lithium batteries, under which system such a facility may offer a financial incentive to any individual who turns in a used lithium battery to the facility.
In carrying out the National Battery Recycling Program, the Secretary of Energy may only use amounts from the Lithium Battery Buy-Back Trust Fund established under section 9512 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as added by section 4. Each head of a Federal agency who purchases a lithium battery shall, to the maximum extent possible, prioritize purchasing such lithium battery from a facility approved pursuant to subsection (a)(1). In this section, the term lithium battery means a lithium metal battery or a lithium-ion battery.
