Requires the Bank to establish procedures to ensure that loans or guarantees provided to an entity that is subject to a preliminary material injury determination are likely to not result in a significant increase in imports of substantially the same product covered by such determination and are likely to not have a significant adverse impact on the domestic industry.

(Sec. 21) Expresses the sense of Congress that, with respect to the total amount available to the Bank for the extension of credit for transactions related to energy projects, the Bank should use not more than 95 percent for transactions related to fossil fuel projects, and not less than five percent for transactions related to renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.
