History

The subcommittee was formerly known as the Subcommittee on Clean Air, Climate Change, and Nuclear Safety, but was renamed during committee organization of the 110th Congress, after responsibility over global warming issues transferred to the Subcommittees on Public Sector Solutions and Subcommittee on Private Sector Solutions to Global Warming. The subcommittee still retains some inherent oversight over global warming issues due to its jurisdiction over the federal Clean Air Act.

Jurisdiction

The subcommittee's jurisdiction includes:

  • Clean Air Act
  • Indoor Air
  • Tennessee Valley Authority
  • Economic Development Administration
  • Nuclear Plant Security and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
