shall limit their oral presentation to a five-minute summary of 
the written statement, unless the Chair, in consultation with 
the Ranking Minority Member, extends this time period. Subject 
to the approval of the Committee, the Chair may waive oral 
testimony of any witness who has submitted written testimony 
for the record.
    In addition, a witness appearing in a nongovernmental

disclosure shall include the amount and source of each Federal 
grant (or subgrant thereof) or contract (or subcontract 
thereof) related to the subject matter of the hearing and the 
amount and country of origin of any payment or contract related 
to the subject matter of the hearing originating with a foreign 
government. Failure to comply with these disclosure 
requirements may result in the exclusion of the written 
testimony from the hearing record and/or the barring of an oral 
presentation of the testimony.
    (b) Minority Witnesses.--When any hearing is conducted by 
the Committee or any Subcommittee upon any measure or matter, 
the Minority party Members on the Committee or Subcommittee

those Minority Members before the completion of the hearing, to 
call witnesses selected by the Minority to testify with respect 
to that measure or matter during at least one day of hearings 
thereon.
    (c) Information for Members.--After announcement of a 
hearing, the Committee shall make available as soon as 
practicable to all Members of the Committee a tentative witness 
list and to the extent practicable the Majority staff shall 
make publicly available a memorandum explaining the subject 
matter of the hearing (including relevant legislative reports 
and other necessary material). In addition, the Chair shall 
make available to the Members of the Committee any official 
reports from departments and agencies on the subject matter as 
they are received.
    (d) Subpoenas.--The Committee or a Subcommittee may 
authorize and issue a subpoena under clause 2(m) of House Rule 
XI if authorized by a majority of the Members voting. In 
addition, the Chair of the Committee may authorize and issue 
subpoenas during any period of time in which the House of 
Representatives has adjourned for more than three days and, as 
soon as practicable, the Chair shall notify all Members of the 
Committee of such action. Subpoenas shall be signed only by the 
Chair of the Committee, or any Member of the Committee 
authorized by the Committee, and may be served by any person 
designated by the Chair or Member.
    (e) Oaths.--The Chair of the Committee, the Chairs of the 
Subcommittees or any Member designated by the Chair may 
administer oaths to any witness before the Committee. All 
witnesses appearing in hearings may be administered the 
following oath by the Chair or his designee prior to receiving 
the testimony: ``Do you solemnly swear or affirm, under penalty 
of law, that the testimony that you are about to give is the 
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you 
God?''
    (f) Opening Statements; Questioning of Witnesses.

        a constituent of a Member of the Committee, that Member 
        may be recognized for up to 30 seconds to briefly 
        introduce the witness at the hearing.
          (2) The questioning of witnesses in Committee and 
        Subcommittee hearings may be initiated by the Chair, 
        followed by the Ranking Minority Member and all other 
        Members alternating between the Majority and Minority 
        parties. In recognizing Members to question witnesses, 
        the Chair shall take into consideration the ratio of

therein and be filed with the Committee Chief Counsel not less 
than two additional calendar days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays

required for the correction of any technical error in a 
previous report made by the Committee on that bill or 
resolution.
    (d) Review by Members.--Each Member of the Committee shall 
be given an opportunity to review each proposed Committee

        high propensities for preexisting health conditions. 
        The event featured a discussion of how the 
        Environmental Justice for All Act would restore power 
        to local communities to protect their environmental 
        quality, increase funding for waste cleanup and 
        economic transition, and restore balance to natural 
        resource extraction laws in communities that have been 
        used for decades as pollution dumping grounds.

Louisiana--Cancer Alley
          Community leaders engaged in a discussion on 
        Louisiana's ``Cancer Alley,'' an 85-mile stretch along 
        the Mississippi river that connects Baton Rouge to New 
        Orleans, where the EPA has found seven out of the 10 
        U.S. census tracts with the highest cancer rates in the 
        country due to the cumulative pollution from 150 
        chemical plants and refineries in the area. For 
        decades, predominantly Black communities in Cancer 
        Alley have been forced to survive alongside these 
        heavily polluting chemical plants and refineries--and 
        our laws often ignore those cumulative impacts in 
        making permitting decisions or sharing public health 
        resources.
    September 18, 2020--Environmental Justice Now Tour: Los 
Angeles
          Los Angeles has the worst ozone pollution of any 
        metropolitan area in the United States, according to 
        the American Lung Association. Within a 20-mile 
        stretch, communities such as Bell, Compton, Huntington 
        Park, Lynwood, and South Gate are wedged between major 
        highways, downtown Los Angeles, and the port of Long 
        Beach. The population of this region is 98 percent 
        people of color, with 78 percent of households living 
        below the federal poverty line. The EPA environmental 
        justice screen places the area in the 100th percentile 
        of pollution exposure. The event examined a variety of 
        environmental justice issues and featured a panel 
        discussion of how the Environmental Justice for All Act 
        would improve quality of life for more than 13 million 
        Americans living in the Los Angeles metro area.

    December 9, 2020--Environmental Justice Now Tour: 
Appalachia
          For decades the coal industry has wreaked havoc on 
        the local culture, economy, health and environment of 
        central Appalachia. As coal becomes obsolete, mining 
        corporations are abandoning their responsibility to the 
        region. In their wake they leave behind open pit mines, 
        water pollution, health issues, and uncertainty. But 
        frontline communities of Appalachia are not allowing 
        the mining corporations to leave without a fight. The 
        region boasts a long, proud history of resistance by 
        individuals and organizations working to stop strip 
        mining abuses in the region. Their latest work is to 
        ensure a just transition for their communities. For 
        this event the House Committee on Natural Resources 
        hosted a virtual forum, of community activists from 
        across Appalachia to share how the extractive economy 
        has devastated their communities.

                               APPENDIX I

               Summary of Activities and Accomplishments

                             FULL COMMITTEE

    Under Chair Raul M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.), the Committee made 
significant progress on landmark environmental justice 
legislation, introduced wide-ranging climate action bills that 
update public land and water management for the modern era, and 
conducted necessary oversight of Trump administration 
mismanagement of the Interior Department and other federal 
agencies. The Committee approved a number of landmark 
conservation bills that became law, including the John D. 
Dingell Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act, the 
Great American Outdoors Act, and the Colorado River Drought 
Contingency Plan Act.
    The Committee prioritized strengthening the government-to-
government relationship between the federal government and 
Native American tribal governments, with special emphasis on 
improving federal responsiveness to tribal needs during the 
coronavirus pandemic.
    The Committee reported 129 bills, making it the one of the 
most legislatively active of any committee in the House of 
Representatives during the 116th Congress. In addition to 
advancing 49 bills that became law, the Committee passed 102 
bills through the House of Representatives that the Republican-
controlled Senate failed to consider.
Environmental Justice for All Act
    Near the end of the 115th Congress, Chair Grijalva and Rep. 
A Donald McEachin (D-Va.) began developing the Environmental 
Justice Working Group--a first-of-its-kind entity bringing 
together environmental justice advocates from across the 
country to help develop a comprehensive federal environmental 
justice bill arising from the grassroots level. That effort 
included a historic environmental justice convening on Capitol 
Hill in June of 2019, where advocates and congressional leaders 
discussed the need for stronger national environmental justice 
standards. After more than a year of public input, Chair 
Grijalva and Rep. McEachin introduced the Environmental Justice 
for All Act on Feb. 27, 2020, with a large group of supporting 
members and organizations.
Climate Action Legislation
    Chair Grijalva and other leaders on the Committee announced 
at the very beginning of the 116th Congress that addressing 
climate change would be a top priority. After a series of full 
Committee and subcommittee hearings on every aspect of climate 
policy in the Committee's jurisdiction, Chair Grijalva began 
the process of writing a series of bills to address the climate 
crisis, resulting in his December 2019 introduction of the 
American Public Lands and Waters Climate Solution Act and his 
October 2020 introduction of the Ocean-Based Climate Solutions 
Act with Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) and other supporters.
Helping Puerto Rico
    Chair Grijalva visited Puerto Rico twice in 2019 to survey 
the economic consequences of years of austerity budgeting under 
the terms of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and 
Economic Stability (PROMESA) Act, and to see the extent of 
damage from earthquakes and hurricanes that the Trump 
administration largely failed to address. Based on hearing 
testimony and the results of his conversations with Puerto 
Rican leaders and local officials, Chair Grijalva introduced 
the Amendments to PROMESA Act in May of 2020.
Oversight of Police Brutality
    In response to the June 1, 2020, police crackdown on 
peaceful protesters at Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C., 
shortly before President Trump held a notorious photo op in 
front of St. John's Episcopal Church just north of the White 
House, the Committee opened an investigation into the role of 
the U.S. Park Police in that incident and whether the crowd was 
adequately warned before law enforcement authorized the use of 
force. Testimony at a series of oversight hearings on the 
issue, and on Park Police policies more generally--including 
the blanket refusal to allow agents to wear body cameras--has 
raised a number of questions that the Committee continues to 
investigate and will pursue in the 117th Congress.
Protecting Native Women From Violence
    Democrats on the Natural Resources Committee made it a 
priority from the beginning of the 116th Congress to address 
the long-ignored epidemic of violence against missing and 
murdered Indigenous women. Informed by expert testimony, the 
Committee passed Savanna's Act (S. 227) and the Not Invisible 
Act (S. 982), both of which became law. For the first time, the 
federal government is now required to account for the number of 
missing and murdered Native Americans and to establish an 
advisory commission of survivors and family members. Chair 
Grijalva has joined a bicameral coalition requesting a 
Government Accountability Office study of how federal agencies 
respond to the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women 
on a national scale.

       SUBCOMMITTEE ON NATIONAL PARKS, FORESTS, AND PUBLIC LANDS

    Chaired by Rep. Debra Haaland (D-N.M.), the Subcommittee 
has worked to enhance protections for America's national parks, 
forests, and public lands while ensuring that they serve all 
Americans--including historically underserved communities, low-
income families, and the Indigenous peoples who have inhabited 
these lands since time immemorial. Tasked with overseeing 
America's public lands and the federal agencies responsible for 
their protection, the Subcommittee has studied the impacts of 
climate change on our lands and resources and examined how 
protected public lands can bolster community climate 
resilience. The Subcommittee's work this Congress--informed by 
testimony from scientists, tribal officials, state and local 
governments, industry groups, and resource management experts--
has highlighted the role that public land conservation plays in 
combating the climate crisis, protecting biodiversity, and 
supporting local economies.
Preserving Wilderness to Combat the Climate Crisis
    America's public lands offer significant opportunities to 
reduce the impacts of climate change, and they should be 
considered a key component of any national climate adaptation 
strategy. Studies have shown that public lands already capture 
nearly 4 percent of all U.S. carbon emissions and are critical 
to building community resiliency to a changing climate. 
Protected public lands such as wilderness areas and national 
parks safeguard ecosystem services, like clean air and water, 
that improve quality of life; protect critical wildlife 
habitats; and increase ecological connectivity to preserve 
biodiversity. However, only 12 percent of U.S. lands currently 
enjoy statutory protection from development, and the pace of 
new protections has slowed almost to a stop. Some studies have 
even suggested that America is losing a football field's worth 
of natural area to development every 30 seconds. These 
concerning trends are only exacerbated by the Trump 
administration's efforts to open an unprecedented amount of 
public lands to new development and extractive uses.
    In early 2019, Congress passed the historic John D. 
Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act (S. 
47), a broad package of more than 100 standalone bills under 
the Subcommittee's purview that designated approximately 1.3 
million acres of new wilderness, established nearly 700,000 
acres of recreation and conservation areas, added 621 miles to 
the National Wild and Scenic River System, and added 42,407 
acres to the National Park System. In addition to these 
significant public land protections, S.47 also permanently 
authorized the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), one of 
the nation's most successful and enduring conservation 
programs.
    After this achievement early in the 116th Congress, the 
Subcommittee continued to highlight the role that protected 
public lands can play in responding to the climate crisis while 
supporting local economic development. The Subcommittee heard 
testimony from scientists, business owners, public lands users, 
local officials, and leaders in the outdoor recreation industry 
on the benefits of protected public lands. The Subcommittee 
held hearings to examine the impacts of climate change on 
public lands and on public lands recreation and to discuss how 
public lands can be managed as part of the climate solution. 
This work culminated in the House passage of H.R. 2546, the 
Protecting America's Wilderness Act, a package of six 
previously individual measures considered by the Subcommittee 
that would designate approximately 1.3 million acres of 
wilderness and safeguard more than 1,000 river miles as 
components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System in 
Colorado, California, and Washington. The text of H.R. 2546 was 
also included in the House-passed National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, underscoring the 
importance of protected public lands in the 116th Congress.
Protecting Treasured and Irreplaceable Landscapes
    The Trump administration has made unprecedented efforts to 
open protected public lands to extractive activities. In fact, 
President Trump is the only president to have removed more 
protections from U.S. lands and waters than he put in place--
rolling back protections from roughly 1,000 times more land 
than the administration protected.
    Protecting unique and irreplaceable landscapes was a major 
priority for the Subcommittee in the 116th Congress. Over the 
past two years, the Subcommittee has held hearings on numerous 
proposals that would protect some of America's most iconic 
landscapes and resources, including bills that would safeguard 
the Grand Canyon region from the toxic impacts of uranium 
mining (H.R. 1373), protect the sacred sites and cultural 
resources of New Mexico's Chaco Culture National Historical 
Park (H.R. 2181), and preserve the agricultural and ranching 
heritage of Colorado's Thompson Divide (H.R. 823). At these 
hearings, local elected officials, tribal leaders, public lands 
users, and resource management experts highlighted the 
importance of protecting these landscapes and the unique 
resources they hold. In October 2019, the House of 
Representatives passed all three bills with bipartisan support.

Enhancing Access to Public Lands

    National parks, forests, and public lands belong to all 
Americans, and throughout this Congress the Subcommittee has 
worked to ensure that all Americans have equitable access to 
these cherished places. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 80 
percent of Americans live in urban areas and 100 million 
Americans do not have access to a park within a 10-minute walk 
from their home. This issue is one of particular concern for 
low-income and minority communities, with studies showing that 
these communities often have less access to open spaces than 
higher income, majority-white communities. Throughout the 116th 
Congress, the Subcommittee has highlighted the importance of 
close-to-home outdoor recreational opportunities, protected 
natural areas, and access to outdoor recreation, while 
examining proposals to help bridge the park equity gap.
    In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee held hearings to 
address multiple barriers to park access, including improving 
the recreational permitting process (H.R. 3879), supporting 
dedicated funding for urban park projects through the Outdoor 
Recreation Legacy Partnership (H.R. 4512), and providing 
permanent full funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund 
(H.R. 3195). The full Natural Resources Committee approved H.R. 
3879 and H.R. 3195, with H.R. 4512 passing the House of 
Representatives as part of H.R. 2, the Moving Forward Act.
    One of the Subcommittee's top priorities in the 116th 
Congress was permanently protecting LWCF, which uses revenues 
from offshore oil and gas extraction to conserve public lands 
and waters across the country. As mentioned above, the 116th 
Congress approved S. 47, historic legislation that permanently 
authorized LWCF and ensured that the fully authorized level of 
$900 million would be deposited into the fund annually. 
Recognizing that Congress' work to protect this vital program 
wasn't finished, the Subcommittee built on that accomplishment 
with the passage of the Great American Outdoors Act, which was 
signed into law in August 2020. The law ensures that the full 
$900 million that enters LWCF each year is used to fund 
conservation projects on the ground in communities across the 
country. At a time when protecting public lands and wildlife 
habitats is more important than ever, the Great American 
Outdoors Act provides increased opportunities for preserving 
open green spaces and expanding public recreational 
opportunities.
    In addition to securing permanent funding for LWCF, the 
Great American Outdoors Act approved a longstanding, 
bipartisan, bicameral priority: funding to address the public 
lands deferred maintenance backlog. In 2018, federal land 
management agencies reported a maintenance backlog--including 
critical infrastructure like roads, bridges, and water 
systems--approaching $20 billion. This extensive list was the 
result of nearly a decade of Congressional underfunding for 
cyclic and annual maintenance. Congress recognized that 
addressing this significant issue would involve a major initial 
investment to jump start work on these projects, paired with 
increased annual funding going forward. The Great American 
Outdoors Act authorized $1.9 billion annually to be distributed 
across the federal land management agencies to address some of 
our most critical public land infrastructure needs. This major 
investment will support the future of our national parks and 
public lands, the outdoor recreation economy, and the 
communities that rely on consistent access to these public 
resources.

Diversity and Representation on Public Lands

    Public lands are a unique part of our shared American 
heritage. Publicly funded conservation areas and 
representations of American history must embrace inclusive 
narratives, imagery, and ideals that accurately represent both 
our past and our present. As sites that preserve and share the 
stories of our past, America's public lands should not idolize 
symbols of hate and bigotry. In the 116th Congress, the 
Subcommittee grappled with this issue by holding hearings on 
three bills that addressed the removal of Confederate statutes 
and symbols from public lands (H.R. 970, H.R. 4135 and H.R. 
7550). Confederate commemorative works, many of which were 
established decades after the end of the Civil War during the 
peak of the Jim Crow era, are an unmistakable reminder of the 
hate and bigotry that continues to permeate our society, and it 
is inappropriate for our public lands to continue to glorify 
these symbols of intolerance. The Natural Resources Committee 
approved H.R. 970 and H.R. 4135 by voice vote, indicating 
strong bipartisan support for this issue.
    In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee has been committed 
to ensuring that our national parks and public lands tell a 
more complete story that is representative of all Americans. 
Historically, public lands designations have focused on a 
narrow view of American history that fails to reflect diverse 
communities and cultures. The Subcommittee has prioritized 
legislation that recognizes and honors diverse and 
underrepresented communities, including the Julius Rosenwald 
and the Rosenwald Schools Act (H.R. 3250), which shares the 
story of an American philanthropist who provided educational 
opportunities for more than six hundred thousand African 
Americans during the Jim Crow era, and the Emancipation 
National Historic Trail Act (H.R. 434), which celebrates the 
freedom of the last American slaves. The Natural Resources 
Committee reported out both bills, with H.R. 434 being signed 
into law in early 2020.

Oversight of the Trump Administration

    One of the Subcommittee's highest priorities has been 
oversight of the Bureau of Land Management, National Park 
Service, and the U.S. Forest Service.
           In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee 
        conducted investigations into a number of issues, 
        including:
           The Trump administration's unprecedented 
        rollback of protections for the Bears Ears National 
        Monument and Grand Staircase-Escalante National 
        Monument;
           The relocation of Bureau of Land Management 
        headquarters to Grand Junction, Colo.;
           The U.S. Department of Agriculture's 
        decision to exempt Alaska's Tongass National Forest 
        from the 2001 Roadless Rule;
           The Trump administration's decision to keep 
        national parks open during the longest federal 
        government shutdown in history; and
           The Trump administration's efforts to open 
        the Grand Canyon region to new uranium mining 
        activities.
    Although the Department of the Interior and Department of 
Agriculture have acknowledged most of the Subcommittee's 
requests for information, its responses have been inconsistent 
and inadequate. The administration has sent the Subcommittee 
hundreds of pages of illegible symbols, irrelevant news 
clippings, tens of thousands of pages of already public 
documents and reports, and thousands of pages of unrelated 
emails and documents. An internal Subcommittee analysis found 
that of the nearly 4,500 documents DOI provided in response to 
the Subcommittee's investigation of the administration's 
monument review process, only 12 percent were related to the 
Subcommittee's initial request. Throughout the 116th Congress, 
the administration consistently refused to provide the 
Subcommittee with relevant documents electronically and in a 
timely and responsive manner.
    By pressing the administration to provide information and 
background on major policy decisions that impact America's 
public lands and natural resources, the Subcommittee exposed 
fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayer-funded resources. Its 
investigation into the relocation of BLM headquarters 
demonstrated a severe lack of analysis or planning behind a 
move that forced more than 60 percent of BLM career staff based 
in Washington, D.C., to leave the agency. The Subcommittee also 
shined a light on questionable uses of funds related to the 
administration's actions in the Tongass, during the 2019 
government shutdown, and for the administration's ``Salute to 
America'' celebrations. These investigations revealed the Trump 
administration's misaligned priorities and highlighted key 
steps that need to be taken in future Congresses or under 
future administrations to repair the damage done by the 
administration and its anti-government, pro-polluter agenda.

                      WATER, OCEANS, AND WILDLIFE

    Chaired by Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), the Subcommittee 
worked in the 116th Congress to respond to the effects of 
climate change and to fight for healthy oceans and reliable 
water resources for all people, fish and wildlife, and the 
environments on which they depend.

Addressing Climate Change and Drought in the United States

    Climate change-induced drought imperils our nation's 
ecosystems and threatens to dramatically reduce our nation's 
drinking, industrial, and agricultural water supplies. The 
resulting impacts to water supply disproportionately impact 
tribal and rural communities. The Subcommittee held oversight 
hearings to address the Trump administration's failure to 
address climate change and the difficulties it poses for water 
management. As part of the Natural Resources Committee's 
historic month-long series of hearings examining climate 
change, the Subcommittee reviewed the nation's climate change-
related water supply challenges, including the effects of 
shrinking snowpack, reduced precipitation, and rising 
temperatures.

Taking Action to Prevent Severe Drought in the Colorado River Basin

    The Committee is focused on the long-term resiliency of the 
Colorado River. As the Colorado River Basin experienced its 
19th consecutive year of drought, the Subcommittee held a 
hearing on the Colorado River Drought Contingency Plan, a set 
of agreements designed to avoid severe shortages through 
voluntary water reductions and reservoir management strategies. 
Chair Grijalva introduced the Colorado River Drought 
Contingency Plan Authorization Act (H.R. 2030), which he 
shepherded through Congress with a bipartisan, bicameral, 
seven-state coalition of cosponsors. That legislation, now 
enacted into law as P.L. 116-14, served as a critical first 
step to promote water conservation and protect the Colorado 
River's future. Passage of this legislation safeguards water 
supplies for 40 million people across seven western states and 
Mexico while planning continues for managing the long-term 
impacts of climate change.

Fulfilling Trust Obligations to Provide Water Supplies to Indian 
        Country

    The federal government has a trust responsibility to 
protect tribes' rights to access and use the water resources 
they are legally entitled to, but many tribal water rights 
today remain largely undeveloped and unprotected. To help 
address this legal obligation and improve clean water access, 
Congress has historically approved and funded Indian water 
rights settlements, which pay for water infrastructure serving 
tribal communities and quantify Indian reserved water rights. 
Negotiated settlements ensure future water security for tribes 
as well as other water users, which is of paramount importance 
for regions combating severe drought and water shortages 
exacerbated by climate change. The Committee approved Chair 
Grijalva's Indian Water Rights Settlement Extension Act (H.R. 
1904), which permanently reauthorizes the Reclamation Water 
Settlements Fund in order to establish a reliable funding 
source for existing and future Indian water rights settlements. 
H.R. 1904 passed the House as part of H.R. 2, the Moving 
Forward Act and was incorporated in H.R. 7617, a larger package 
for FY2021 appropriations. The Subcommittee also approved 
multiple individual tribal water rights settlement bills and 
helped advance and enact several tribal water rights 
settlements in H.R. 133, including settlements for the 
Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of Montana, the Pueblos 
of Nambe, Pojoaque, Tesuque and San Ildefonso, the Navajo 
Nation, and the Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas.

Investing in Resilient Water Supplies

    The Subcommittee advanced legislation to support water 
supply reliability for communities, tribes, and water users 
across the western United States. Chair Huffman advanced the 
Furthering Underutilized Technologies and Unleashing 
Responsible Expenditures (FUTURE) Western Water Infrastructure 
and Drought Resiliency Act, which supports the development of 
more resilient water infrastructure, expands the use of modern 
water management tools and technologies, and helps 
disadvantaged areas meet their drinking water needs.
    The FUTURE Western Water Infrastructure and Drought 
Resiliency Act passed the House as part of H.R. 2, the Moving 
Forward Act. Several other Committee members' bills were also 
incorporated into H.R. 2, including H.R. 1162, the Water 
Recycling Investment and Improvement Act, introduced by Rep. 
Grace Napolitano (D-Calif.). This bill permanently reauthorizes 
and boosts funding for the Bureau of Reclamation's Title XVI 
water recycling competitive grant program to promote virtually 
drought-proof water recycling projects. H.R. 2 also 
incorporated H.R. 3723, the Desalination Development Act 
sponsored by Rep. Mike Levin (D-CA), which authorizes increased 
funding for a Reclamation desalination grant program to support 
the construction of sustainable water desalination projects.
    Five sections from the FUTURE Western Water Infrastructure 
and Drought Resiliency Act were enacted into law as part of 
H.R. 133, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. Sections 
1106, 1107, 1109, 1111 and 1112 of division FF, Title XI of 
H.R. 133 are identical or modified sections from the FUTURE 
Western Water Infrastructure and Drought Resiliency Act. 
Importantly, section 1109 would establish an aquatic ecosystem 
restoration program at the Department of the Interior that is 
designed to advance and help fund broadly supported restoration 
projects like the so-called Two-Basin Solution for the Potter 
Valley Project in the Russian River and Eel River Basins of 
California. The proposed Two-Basin Solution is widely supported 
by water users, tribes, counties, and conservation 
organizations and it would significantly improve fish health 
and recovery on the Eel River while providing long term 
certainty and water supply reliability for Russian River water 
users. Section 1106 also notably expands eligibility for the 
Bureau of Reclamation's WaterSMART program to include 
nongovernmental conservation organizations and natural 
infrastructure projects.
    The Committee also advanced Rep. Xochitl Torres Small's 
H.R. 4891, the Western Water Security Act, which provides much-
needed funding for western water infrastructure while advancing 
water conservation, water-use efficiency, and environmental 
restoration in western states. The Subcommittee took steps to 
support rural communities that lack clean drinking water by 
advancing H.R. 5347, the Disadvantaged Community Drinking Water 
Assistance Act introduced by Rep. TJ Cox (D-Calif.). Both bills 
were incorporated into H.R. 2.

Supporting Water Research and Innovation

    The Subcommittee advanced legislation to expand the use of 
modern water management tools, data, research, and technologies 
through H.R. 2473, the Securing Access for the central Valley 
and Enhancing (SAVE) Water Resources Act, and H.R. 3510, the 
Water Resources Research Amendments Act, both introduced by 
Rep. Josh Harder (D Calif.). Provisions from both bills were 
incorporated into H.R. 2.
    H.R. 1976, the PFAS Detection Act, directs the U.S. 
Geological Survey to establish a performance standard for the 
detection of highly dangerous perfluoroalkyl substances and use 
that standard to carry out sampling nationwide. A version of 
that bill was enacted into law as part of S. 1790, the National 
Defense Authorization Act.
    Through H.R. 133, the Subcommittee also helped enact 
provisions into law from H.R. 2 and Rep. Harder's H.R. 8041 to 
create a new Snow Water Supply Forecasting program at the 
Department of the Interior to provide more accurate data about 
expected runoff that will improve water system operations. H.R. 
133 also includes provisions from FUTURE Western Water 
Infrastructure and Drought Resiliency Act that provide 
additional support and funding for desalination research at the 
Bureau of Reclamation.

Examining Collaborative Federal-State Partnerships

    The Subcommittee held a hearing to assess ongoing federal 
and state efforts to restore California's Salton Sea. 
Conditions at the Salton Sea present major concerns for public 
health, endangered species, and migratory birds. The Trump 
administration refused to send a witness or offer written 
testimony.
    The Subcommittee advanced H.R. 3237, the Platte River 
Recovery Implementation Program Extension Act led by Rep. Joe 
Neguse (D-Colo.), which authorizes the Secretary of the 
Interior to continue to participate in a species conservation 
partnership with Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming. The bill was 
enacted into law as part of H.R. 1865, the Further Consolidated 
Appropriations Act of 2020.

Initiating Ocean Climate Action

    The ocean has absorbed 90 percent of the excess heat and 
about a third of the surplus carbon that humans have 
contributed to the atmosphere. While climate change is 
threatening our oceans and coasts, we have the opportunity to 
utilize them to absorb and store greenhouse gases while 
boosting climate resiliency for coastal communities. 
Implementation of ocean-based climate solutions could deliver 
21 percent of the annual greenhouse gas emissions reductions 
needed by 2050 to keep global temperature rise below 1.5 
degrees.
    During the 116th Congress, the Natural Resources Committee 
and the Subcommittee on Water, Oceans, and Wildlife made ocean 
climate solutions a top priority. The Subcommittee held 
hearings on ocean and coastal climate impacts and solutions as 
part of the Natural Resources Committee's climate change 
hearing series. The Subcommittee championed H.R. 729, the 
Coastal and Great Lakes Communities Enhancement Act, which 
passed in the House in December 2019, as well as the 
groundbreaking Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act, which Chair 
Grijalva introduced in October 2020.
    H.R. 729, the Coastal and Great Lakes Communities 
Enhancement Act, is a package of bipartisan bills that protect 
vulnerable coastal and Great Lakes communities impacted by the 
climate crisis. Combined, the legislation creates programs to 
support tribal, state, and local community projects that 
protect, restore, and preserve coastal zones and working 
waterfronts; helps communities prepare for and respond to 
climate change; and uses data to address coastal, ocean, and 
Great Lakes management. H.R. 729 also protects American 
commercial and recreational fisheries and the communities that 
depend on them by authorizing programs that preserve fish 
habitats and research Great Lakes fisheries management. The 
bill also strengthens our marine and coastal science and policy 
workforce by reauthorizing and updating the National Sea Grant 
College Program.
    H.R. 8632, the Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act, provides 
a strategic roadmap for ocean climate action and meaningful 
steps towards protecting the habitat and ecosystems on which 
humanity depends. This comprehensive bill integrates evidence-
based approaches to protect our ocean and coastal communities, 
promote sustainable job opportunities, and support clean 
offshore energy while reducing the devastating impacts of the 
climate crisis. The Ocean Climate Solutions Act prioritizes 
just and equitable climate solutions for communities of color, 
low-income communities, tribal and Native Hawaiian communities, 
and the U.S. Territories and Freely Associated States. The full 
Committee held a hearing on H.R. 8632 and related bills on 
November 17, 2020.

Good Governance for the Ocean, Great Lakes, and Coasts

    The Subcommittee held hearings and advanced legislation to 
smartly govern the ocean, Great Lakes, coasts, and fisheries 
through the best available science and increased stakeholder 
collaboration and participation. Through intensive 
collaboration with Senate counterparts, the Committee 
shepherded many of these bills into law, including the National 
Sea Grant College Program Amendments Act of 2019 (sponsored by 
Chair Huffman in the House), the Digital Coast Act, the NOAA 
Commissioned Officer Corps Amendments Act of 2020, the Great 
Lakes Environmental Sensitivity Index Act, the Coordinated 
Ocean Observations and Research Act, the Young Fishermen's 
Development Act, and the Driftnet Modernization and Bycatch 
Reduction Act
    The Subcommittee held oversight hearings on several issues, 
including threats to the critically endangered North Atlantic 
right whale; ocean plastic pollution; sexual assault and sexual 
harassment at NOAA; illegal, unreported, and unregulated 
fishing; and environmental justice in federal grantmaking in 
the Subcommittee's jurisdiction. The Subcommittee will continue 
conducting oversight and drafting legislation addressing these 
important topics.

Protecting Species

    The climate crisis, habitat degradation, invasive species, 
and human development are all dramatically impacting wildlife 
in the United States and across the globe. The Subcommittee 
held hearings in May 2019 about the state of wildlife and the 
impending extinction crisis reported by the Intergovernmental 
Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. 
The Subcommittee advanced H.R. 4348 to defend the Endangered 
Species Act from multiple regulatory attacks by the Trump 
administration, and approved H.R. 2795 and H.R. 5179 to create 
a National Wildlife Corridors System and Tribal Wildlife 
Corridors System. The Subcommittee also approved H.R. 3742 to 
fund recovery of America's wildlife.
    The full Committee worked with the Senate to restore 
wildlife and protect habitats with the America's Conservation 
Enhancement Act (S. 3051), which became law in October 2020. 
This legislative package contains plans to protect and enhance 
climate-resilient wetlands and fish habitat, help the 
Chesapeake Bay region prepare for and adapt to climate change, 
address issues in the hunting and angling communities, and 
prevent conflicts between predators, humans, and livestock. It 
also contains provisions to combat invasive species as well as 
chronic wasting disease in deer and other animals.
    Throughout the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee advanced 
legislation to protect vulnerable species and species groups. 
On December 3, the House passed H.R. 1380, the Big Cat Public 
Safety Act, which ends the private ownership and sale of big 
cats such as lions, tigers, leopards, cougars, and more. The 
Subcommittee held a hearing on H.R. 2245, the CECIL Act, to 
address trophy hunting issues, and another on H.R. 2532 to 
protect grizzly bear populations for tribal heritage; Chair 
Grijalva sponsored both bills. The Subcommittee also advanced 
Representative Lowenthal's legislation to reaffirm the 
interpretation of ``incidental take'' in the Migratory Bird 
Treaty Act, which would ensure accountability for migratory 
bird deaths related to industrial activity, and establish a 
regulatory scheme for responsible permitting. A version of H.R. 
6761, Chair Grijalva's Murder Hornet Eradication Act, was 
included in the Water Resources Development Act.

Human Conflicts Related to Wildlife

    In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the Subcommittee 
introduced legislation to strengthen wildlife-borne disease 
prevention efforts, which passed the House as part of H.R. 
6800, the HEROES Act. The legislation bans imports of and trade 
in risky species, requires study of wildlife pathogens, builds 
cooperation and technical capacity for wildlife disease 
surveillance among states, tribes, and insular territories, and 
builds capacity for foreign governments to monitor wildlife 
disease and limit the trade of wildlife that transmit disease. 
The Committee also investigated, in close coordination with 
Republican lawmakers and staff, World Wildlife Fund's history 
of human rights abuses related to federal conservation grants 
and began drafting legislation to address this problem.

              SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES

    Chaired by Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D-Calif.), the Subcommittee 
this Congress has worked to address the greatest economic, 
public health, national security, and environmental challenge 
of our time: climate change. For more than a century, federal 
land management laws and regulations have prioritized fossil 
fuel extraction over other land uses, an imbalance exacerbated 
by the Trump administration. In recent decades, scientific 
evidence has made it clear that anthropogenic greenhouse gas 
emissions are warming the planet and leading to more frequent 
heat waves, more intense storms, and more extreme wildfires, 
among other impacts.
    The Subcommittee oversees the extraction of coal, oil and 
gas from public lands and waters, which are responsible for 
nearly a quarter of the nation's carbon dioxide emissions each 
year. The Subcommittee's work this Congress has highlighted 
America's need to reduce fossil fuel extraction and expand 
renewable energy generation across the western U.S. and in 
federal waters. The Subcommittee heard from expert witnesses 
about how public lands can support economy-wide efforts to 
achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century and held hearings 
that provided the foundation for H.R. 5435, Chairman Grijalva's 
bill to require public lands and waters to achieve net-zero 
greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. Climate change is the 
defining issue of our time, and the Subcommittee tackled this 
challenge through legislation and oversight at every 
opportunity.

Oil and Gas Development

    In 2019, roughly 22 percent of U.S. oil production and 12 
percent of gas production came from federal land. In addition 
to harming the climate, the extraction, processing, and 
transportation of oil and gas resources on public lands 
degrades air quality and damages water resources, fragments 
wildlife habitat, and impairs the health of local communities.
    In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee held a series of 
hearings exploring the ways oil and gas development can harm 
local communities. This included an April 2019 field hearing in 
New Mexico where Members of Congress heard from citizens 
directly impacted by extraction and viewed real-time methane 
leaks using an infrared camera. Over the past two years, the 
Subcommittee held hearings on numerous bills that would 
overhaul the federal onshore oil and gas program, including 
reforms to leasing (H.R. 3225), bonding (H.R. 4346), data 
transparency (H.R. 5636), fiscal terms (H.R. 4364), and methane 
emissions (H.R 2711). The Subcommittee also held hearings 
examining how oil and gas extraction can encroach upon and 
disrupt tribal and indigenous communities, including drilling 
near Chaco Culture National Historical Park (H.R. 2181) and in 
the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (H.R. 1146).
    Protecting coastal communities from new oil and gas 
drilling in federal waters was a major focus for the 
Subcommittee in the 116th Congress. In early 2019, the 
Subcommittee held a hearing on bipartisan bills (H.R. 1941 and 
H.R. 205) to prevent drilling along the Atlantic and Pacific 
coasts and in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Local officials, 
business owners, outdoor recreators, and conservationists all 
urged the Subcommittee to consider the importance of protecting 
America's coasts. In September 2019, both bills passed the 
House of Representatives with bipartisan support, underscoring 
the importance of these issues in the 116th Congress.

Renewable Energy Production

    The urgent need to address climate change demands a rapid 
transition away from fossil fuels and towards an economy 
powered by clean energy. Renewable energy resources on public 
lands and waters must play a leading role in driving this 
transition. Throughout the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee 
highlighted the many ways public lands can propel the country's 
transition to a clean energy economy while honoring community 
input, protecting sensitive environments, and supporting job 
creation in local communities.
    Public lands contain some of the sunniest, windiest and 
most geologically active places in the country, but wind and 
solar energy production on public lands make up less than 5 
percent of the nation's total installed capacity. In the 116th 
Congress, the Subcommittee heard testimony from the renewable 
energy industry, states, counties, and environmental groups on 
ways to responsibly increase development of these clean energy 
resources. This work culminated in the markup of H.R. 3794, the 
Public Land Renewable Energy Development Act, a bipartisan bill 
that improves the permitting process, shares renewable energy 
revenues with states and counties, and directs a portion of 
revenues to projects protecting and restoring fish and wildlife 
habitat and improving access for hunting, fishing, and other 
outdoor recreational activities. Key sections of H.R. 3794 
passed the House as part of H.R. 2, the Moving Forward Act, and 
H.R. 4447, the Clean Economy Jobs and Innovation Act.
    Offshore wind farms are a potentially enormous source of 
sustainable, carbon-free energy to power coastal regions and 
create new jobs. While the U.S. offshore wind technical 
potential is roughly double the entire country's electricity 
consumption, to date there are only seven installed turbines, 
five of which are in state waters. The Subcommittee held a 
series of hearings in the 116th Congress to highlight the 
nation's vast offshore wind potential and ways to spur economic 
development and job creation around this fast-growing industry. 
The Subcommittee held a field hearing in Wildwood, N.J., where 
lawmakers heard from state and local officials, labor unions, 
commercial and recreational fishermen, and the wind industry 
about the considerable economic and environmental potential of 
offshore wind development. The Subcommittee also advanced H.R. 
3068, the Offshore Wind Jobs and Opportunity Act, a bill to 
create a new offshore wind workforce development grant program 
at the Department of the Interior. Like H.R. 3794, H.R. 3068 
passed the House as part of both H.R. 2 and H.R. 4447. The 
Subcommittee also worked closely with the Water, Oceans, and 
Wildlife Subcommittee on H.R. 8632, the Ocean-Based Climate 
Solutions Act, which would set the first ever national offshore 
wind goal: permitting at least 12.5 gigawatts of offshore wind 
by 2025 and at least 25 gigawatts by 2030.

Hardrock Mining

    For 148 years, the mining of hardrock minerals on public 
lands has been carried out under the Mining Law of 1872. 
Written to promote western settlement in the era of the pick 
and shovel prospector, the Mining Law is based on state and 
local mining customs, laws and regulations that arose during 
the California gold rush of 1848. In the 116th Congress, the 
Subcommittee held hearings and passed legislation to reform the 
nation's antiquated mining law and examine ways to bring the 
nation's hardrock minerals policy into the 21st century.
    Unlike nearly every other country in the world, the United 
States operates on an open-access basis for hardrock minerals 
on public lands rather than a leasing system. Mining of 
minerals from federal lands occurs without any federal royalty 
being paid back to the American people. H.R. 2579, the Hardrock 
Leasing and Reclamation Act, replaces the current obsolete 
system with a modern leasing system designed to protect our 
economy and environment. The bill establishes a 12.5 percent 
royalty on new mining operations--the same amount paid by oil 
and gas drillers--and an 8 percent royalty on existing 
operations, except for miners with less than $50,000 in mining 
income. H.R. 2579 also eliminates the priority use status that 
mining currently enjoys on public lands, leveling the playing 
field with all other uses of public lands such as grazing, 
hunting, and energy development. This allows mining to be 
managed through existing land-use planning processes. The 
legislation requires meaningful tribal consultation, makes 
certain special places permanently off limits to hardrock 
mining, and establishes strong new reclamation standards and 
bonding requirements to make sure taxpayers aren't left paying 
to clean up abandoned mine sites.

Coal Mining and Development

    While coal accounted for nearly 80 percent of total energy 
consumption in the United States at the beginning of the 20th 
century, its usage has since declined significantly, and 
domestic production has been declining considerably since 2008. 
As coal is displaced by renewable energy and fossil gas, the 
Committee aims to ensure the environmentally sound cleanup of 
abandoned mines and a smooth economic transition for 
communities traditionally dependent on coal mining.
    In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee held hearings on 
multiple aspects of coal mining and development, including how 
best to reform the federal coal program, how to mitigate the 
health effects of mountaintop removal mining in Appalachia 
(H.R. 2050), and how to protect miners' healthcare and pensions 
(H.R. 934 & H.R. 935). One of the Subcommittee's highest 
priorities is reauthorizing the Abandoned Mine Land (AML) fund 
(H.R. 4248), which uses fees paid by current coal mining 
companies to reclaim previously abandoned coal mines, and 
passing the RECLAIM Act (H.R. 2156), which focuses the use of 
the AML fund on reclamation that supports economic 
revitalization, diversification, and development in 
economically distressed mining communities. The Natural 
Resources Committee reported out both bills, and portions of 
both passed the House of Representatives in H.R. 2, the Moving 
Forward Act.

Oversight of the Trump Administration

    One of the Subcommittee's highest priorities this Congress 
has been to conduct oversight over the Bureau of Land 
Management (BLM), the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), 
the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), the 
Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), 
and energy and minerals activities of the U.S. Forest Service 
(USFS).
    In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee conducted 
investigations into a number of issues, including:
           The Trump administration's reinstatement of 
        leases for an environmentally hazardous copper sulfide 
        mine at the edge of the Boundary Waters Wilderness 
        Canoe Area;
           Former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's 
        decision to exempt Florida, via tweet, from the 2019-
        2025 Outer Continental Shelf 5-year leasing program 
        after meeting with the state's governor;
           The inappropriate inclusion of uranium in 
        the critical minerals list under E.O. 13817;
           OSMRE's abrupt cancellation of a National 
        Academy of Sciences study on the health effects of 
        mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia; and
           The secret manipulation by political 
        officials of career expert recommendations in 
        developing a weakened Well Control Rule at BSEE.
    While DOI has acknowledged most of the Subcommittee's 
requests for information, their responses have been 
inconsistent and woefully insufficient. DOI has sent the 
Committee entirely redacted documents, tens of thousands of 
pages of already public documents and reports, hundreds of 
pages of illegible symbols, and irrelevant news clippings. In 
July 2020, DOI sent the Subcommittee 38 boxes of documents in 
response to the subcommittee's investigation of the Well 
Control Rule, of which roughly 37 boxes--over 100,000 pages--
were public comments, public reports, books widely available on 
websites, duplicates, or fully redacted. Throughout this 
Congress, DOI provided inconsistent and unpersuasive excuses 
for consistently refusing to provide relevant documents 
electronically and in a timely manner.

        SUBCOMMITTEE FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE UNITED STATES

    Since transitioning to the Majority at the start of the 
116th Congress, Democrats have carved out larger spaces for 
Indigenous issues in the House of Representatives and given 
them greater legislative and oversight attention. With this 
goal in mind, Natural Resources Committee Chair Raul M. 
Grijalva (D-Ariz.) established the Subcommittee for Indigenous 
Peoples of the United States in January 2019. Unlike its 
predecessor in the 115th Congress, the Subcommittee on Indian, 
Insular, and Alaska Native Affairs, the Subcommittee for 
Indigenous Peoples of the United States is a stand-alone 
subcommittee that maintains exclusive jurisdiction over 
American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian issues in 
the House.
    Chaired by Representative Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), the 
Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples of the United States 
empowers Indigenous communities by fighting to uphold tribal 
sovereignty and strengthen tribal self-governance. The 
Subcommittee helped ensure that the Department of the Interior, 
the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department 
of Justice adequately served Indian Country by critically 
examining Indigenous issues. The Subcommittee conducted 
oversight hearings on education, public safety, health, 
infrastructure, climate change, and the federal trust 
responsibility in Indian Country. The Subcommittee passed 
legislation to protect and preserve tribal lands, reaffirm 
tribal sovereignty and enhance self-determination, and 
safeguard the health and well-being of tribal peoples.

Tribal Sovereignty and the Federal Trust Responsibility

    The present-day government-to-government relationship that 
exists between tribal nations and the federal government is 
largely shaped by Article I, Section 8 of the United States 
Constitution. This relationship, which is commonly referred to 
as the ``federal trust responsibility,'' includes a charge to 
the federal government to support the general welfare of tribal 
nations, their lands and resources, and their right to tribal 
self-governance in perpetuity.

Trust Lands and The Carcieri Fix

    The 1934 Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) is a comprehensive 
federal law that provides the basis of federal legislation 
concerning Indian affairs. Part of the Act authorizes the 
Secretary of the Interior to take land into trust for tribal 
nations in order to ``. . . conserve and develop Indian lands 
and resources'' and to rehabilitate Indian economic life. Trust 
land is not taxable and is subject to tribal regulation, with 
no, or limited, state and local regulatory jurisdiction.
    Acquisition of trust land for the benefit of Indian tribes 
is essential to tribal self-determination and economic 
development and protects tribal lands for future generations. 
To that end, the Subcommittee acted on numerous bills that 
would place new lands into trust, or reaffirm the status of 
current trust lands, for the benefit of tribal communities 
(H.R. 1312, H.R. 3160, H.R. 1031, H.R. 2961, H.R. 4059, H.R. 
4495, H.R. 7119, and H.R. 733/S. 199).
    Early on, the Subcommittee devoted attention to the Supreme 
Court's 2009 Carcieri v. Salazar decision, which has created 
ongoing complications for the federal trust responsibility. In 
April 2019, the Subcommittee reviewed H.R. 375, which aims to 
restore clarity and stability to the land-into-trust process by 
legislatively fixing the legal ambiguities stemming from the 
Carcieri decision. Under its terms, the Secretary of the 
Interior would be authorized to place land into trust for all 
tribal nations, regardless of the date on which they were 
federally recognized. In addition, the Subcommittee examined 
H.R. 312, which reaffirms the trust status of the lands of the 
Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe in Massachusetts. Due to the effects of 
the Carcieri decision, the Tribe's eligibility for transfers of 
lands became subject to multiple legal suits that threatened to 
permanently dissolve the Tribe. Shortly after the 
Subcommittee's legislative hearing on these two bills, they 
were both passed out of the House of Representatives.

Equitable Compensation and Federal Recognition

    The Subcommittee held legislative hearings on H.R. 396, 
which permanently resolves the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma's 
treaty-based land claim to the Wabash River watershed in 
Illinois and removes the cloud on title that exists for the 
current landowners; S. 216, which compensates the Spokane Tribe 
of Indians for the use of tribal lands in the construction of 
the Grand Coulee Dam; H.R. 1803/S. 832, which will nullify and 
render moot for the purposes of legal precedent the fraudulent 
supplemental treaty of 1865 between the federal government and 
the Confederated Tribes and Bands of Indians of Middle Oregon; 
and S. 46, which repeals the Klamath Tribe Judgement Fund Act 
and restores the Tribe's ability to exercise its sovereign 
authority over its funds. In addition to these bills, the 
Subcommittee reviewed H.R. 1964, which provides federal 
recognition to the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, and H.R. 
297/S. 51, which provides federal recognition to the Little 
Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians. H.R. 1803/S. 832, S. 216 and 
H.R. 297/S. 51 were all enacted into law.

Tribal Consultation

    To strengthen the federal trust responsibility, the 
Subcommittee drafted legislation that expands the federal 
government's tribal consultation guidelines. In April 2019, the 
Subcommittee held a legislative hearing on Chair Grijalva's 
RESPECT Act, which codifies tribal consultation requirements 
for federal projects, activities, and regulations that have 
tribal impacts. Later that year, the Subcommittee also reviewed 
H.R. 3846, which establishes consultation frameworks between 
the federal government and tribal working groups to prevent the 
trafficking of cultural patrimony.
    Alongside this legislation, the Subcommittee also examined 
the detrimental consequences that arise when the federal 
government fails to engage in meaningful tribal consultation. 
In January 2020, Chair Grijalva traveled to Organ Pipe Cactus 
National Monument to see firsthand how the Trump 
administration's abuse of Section 102 of the REAL ID Act of 
2005 resulted in the destruction of the Tohono O'odham Nation's 
sacred sites along the U.S.-Mexico border. That same month, the 
Subcommittee held an oversight hearing where Tohono O'odham 
Nation Chairman Ned Norris Jr. explained how mandatory tribal 
consultation would have changed the outcome of the Nation's 
interactions with the federal government. Building on this 
work, the Subcommittee held a second oversight hearing in March 
2020 to reviewed the lack of federal tribal consultation in 
implementing the Southeastern Arizona Land Exchange and the 
resulting damage that Resolution Copper's proposed mining 
operations will inflict on Oak Flat and Apache Leap.

Climate Change

    Climate change has caused the warming of our air and 
oceans, the melting of our glaciers and the steady rise of our 
sea levels, resulting in increasingly frequent and severe 
storms, droughts, floods, and wildfires. Indigenous communities 
in particular have been disproportionately impacted by these 
trends, as climate change poses a direct threat to their 
traditional ways of life and culturally significant sites. 
Tribal communities continue to face institutional barriers that 
limit their access to programs and funding streams that would 
otherwise help them recover from and proactively plan against 
natural disasters. The Subcommittee's first-ever hearing, in 
February 2019, focused on the oversight of climate change 
impacts in Indian Country.

Tribal Infrastructure

    The condition of roads, buildings, and bridges on tribal 
lands has long been a heated topic in Indian Country. Tribal 
transportation programs have been historically underfunded and 
ignored by presidential administrations of both parties. The 
Subcommittee held an oversight hearing on tribal infrastructure 
in July 2019 to ensure that these programs would no longer be 
afterthoughts when Congress drafts major pieces of 
transportation and infrastructure legislation.
    Following this work, the Subcommittee held an oversight 
hearing in November 2019 on the U.S. Commission on Civil 
Rights' Broken Promises: Continuing Funding Shortfall for 
Native Americans report. The report found that programs 
designed to support the social and economic wellbeing of tribal 
communities remain chronically underfunded and inefficiently 
structured, leaving basic needs unmet and contributing to the 
vast inequities that exist between Indigenous populations and 
the larger American population. To learn more about how to 
resolve these disparities, the Subcommittee heard from tribal 
leaders and advocates about their experiences and 
recommendations for infrastructure improvements.

Tribal Justice and Public Safety

    Indigenous women in the United States face murder rates at 
10 times the national average, yet these cases of violence 
often go uninvestigated and unprosecuted. While this trend has 
been called a ``silent'' crisis, the Subcommittee worked hard 
to ensure that the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) 
crisis remained at the center of major policy discussions. In 
2019, Chair Grijalva helped jumpstart policy efforts to combat 
the MMIW crisis by passing two bipartisan amendments to 
theViolence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2019. That 
same year, the Subcommittee held several hearings to heighten 
congressional awareness on the issue and to give Indigenous 
women the opportunity to share their policy recommendations, 
which established the need for a widely accessible data 
collection system that can quantify the current number of MMIW 
cases.
    The exposure that followed these hearings led to the 
passage of two bills that address the MMIW crisis--S. 227 and 
S. 982--in the House of Representatives. These bills require 
the federal government to account for the number of missing and 
murdered Native Americans and to establish an advisory 
commission of survivors and family members. Alongside these 
successes, Chair Grijalva pushed for greater federal 
accountability and joined a bicameral coalition that asked the 
Government Accountability Office (GAO) to examine how federal 
agencies respond to the MMIW crisis on a national scale.

Coronavirus Pandemic Response

    Following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the 
Subcommittee worked hard to ensure that tribal communities 
remained up to date on public health information. In March 
2020, the Subcommittee launched an online coronavirus resource 
center for Indian Country that contained information on federal 
medical resources, congressional relief packages, and the 
Subcommittee's ongoing efforts to hold the Trump administration 
accountable for its poor response to the virus. The new 
resource center housed a survey response form that allowed the 
Subcommittee to hear directly from tribal leaders about what 
they were seeing on the ground and the resources they needed. 
The Subcommittee used survey responses to inform the tribal 
provisions included in the CARES Act, which became law on March 
27, 2020. These measures provided an $8 billion Coronavirus 
Relief Fund for tribal governments and additional direct 
funding lines to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Bureau of 
Indian Education (BIE), and the Indian Health Service (IHS).
    From April to October 2020, the Subcommittee held several 
online forums to hear directly from community leaders, 
organizations, and citizens from tribal nations about their 
experiences with pandemic response efforts. Through witness 
testimony, the Subcommittee received vital information about 
the Trump administration's disbursement delays for the CARES 
Act relief funds to tribal governments, the tribal data leaks 
within the Department of the Interior, and the political 
motivations behind the administration's decision to reopen BIE 
schools for in-person instruction.

Tribal Education

    In May 2019, the Subcommittee held an oversight hearing on 
the BIE's Chemawa Indian School. Established in the 1870s, the 
Chemawa Indian School exemplified the federal government's 
policy of forcibly separating Indigenous children from their 
families so that they could be Christianized. Many serious 
problems still exist at the School. In the past decade alone, 
there have been numerous reports from concerned teachers, 
parents, and non-profit organizations of student sexual 
assault, neglect, and death. The Subcommittee called a member 
of the Chemawa Indian School administration and a 
representative from BIE to testify about and respond to these 
allegations. The Subcommittee also held legislative hearings on 
bills focused on improving aspects of Native education, 
including H.R. 895 and H.R. 2414. Due to the Subcommittee's 
focus on H.R. 2414, the legislation successfully became law in 
December 2019.

Tribal Health

    During the Trump administration's 2019 partial government 
shutdown, the lack of advance appropriations for tribal social 
services resulted in the loss of critical infrastructural 
programs, as well as the jobs associated with them, during the 
coldest months of the year. To make matters worse, many tribal 
communities could no longer rely upon federal healthcare 
providers, as the sudden cut in funding resulted in IHS delays 
or stoppages of care. In the interest of preventing situations 
like this, the Subcommittee held a dual oversight-legislative 
hearing in September 2019 on H.R. 1128 and H.R. 1135, both of 
which authorize advance appropriations to IHS and guarantee the 
continuation of IHS services in the event of a government 
shutdown. In addition to the advance appropriations 
legislation, the Subcommittee held hearings on legislation that 
will improve health care access for Native veterans (H.R. 4153 
and H.R. 6237), as well as legislation to support the mission 
of urban Indian health organizations (H.R. 6535). Both H.R. 
4153 and H.R. 6237 were passed by the House of Representatives.

              SUBCOMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND INVESTIGATIONS

    Hearings handled by or originating in the Subcommittee on 
Oversight and Investigations (O&I) were chaired by Rep. TJ Cox 
(D-Calif.) at the Subcommittee level and Rep. Ral M. Grijalva 
(D-Ariz.) at the full Committee level. In the 116th Congress, 
O&I focused on holding the Trump administration accountable to 
the American people by conducting oversight and investigations 
of the Department of the Interior (DOI) and its bureaus as an 
essential part of the legislative process. The Subcommittee was 
committed to rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse, fact-checking 
claims made as part of attempts to weaken federal environmental 
laws, investigating the sources and impacts of climate change, 
and ensuring our policies are based on the best available 
science that is free of conflicts of interest.

Department of the Interior Reorganization

    Early in the Trump administration, former Interior 
Secretary Ryan Zinke began a wide-ranging DOI reorganization 
that included changes in lines of responsibility and 
communication for every agency, and Interior Secretary David 
Bernhardt continued that effort upon taking Zinke's place. The 
Committee requested information about the basis for this 
reorganization in several letters from Chair Raal M. Grijalva 
(D-Ariz.) to Secretary Bernhardt; three budget hearings with 
Secretary Bernhardt and then-Principal Deputy Secretary of 
Policy, Management, and Budget, Scott Cameron; and a hearing in 
the Subcommittee about the reasons for and impacts of the 
reorganization. Members repeatedly asked DOI for any 
substantive analysis related to need, costs, timelines, or any 
other details justifying the reorganization. Many of the 
requests were bipartisan. None were completely fulfilled.
    As a part of DOI's unjustified reorganization plans, the 
Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Washington, D.C.-based staff 
were relocated to a hastily established new headquarters in 
Grand Junction, Colo., and offices elsewhere across the western 
United States. Subcommittee staff found that the relocation of 
BLM headquarters to Grand Junction would disproportionately 
impact the agency's Black employees, of which nearly 41 percent 
were located in Washington, D.C. Neither DOI nor BLM conducted 
a disparate impact analysis of the planned relocation, leaving 
the agency vulnerable to legal liability under the Civil Rights 
Act. The Committee sent letters to Secretary Bernhardt and BLM 
acting director William Pendley highlighting these disparate 
impact concerns. The responses were insufficient or failed to 
answer questions at all. In a briefing with DOI, oversight 
staff uncovered that BLM failed to fulfill its legal obligation 
to consult tribal nations about BLM relocation plans. Chair 
Grijalva asked the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to 
examine the process through which the BLM relocation took 
place. The GAO found that BLM had ``not substantially followed 
key practices for effective agency reforms relevant to 
relocating employees,'' including creating measures for 
success, an implementation plan, or a strategic workforce plan.

Sexual Harassment and Discrimination at the Department of the Interior

    Since the beginning of the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee 
has been dedicated to addressing patterns of documented abuses 
and discrimination at agencies in the Committee's jurisdiction. 
The Obama administration started efforts to address sexual 
harassment at the National Park Service and across DOI, in part 
by conducting an unprecedented Department-wide survey of all 
employees. The survey found that nearly 1 out of every 10 
employees (8 percent) reported being sexually harassed over the 
previous year. As good managers know, fully addressing 
harassment in an organization requires more than good policies 
and procedures. Leadership's commitment to a culture of 
respect, inclusivity, safety, and transparency is imperative. 
Employees must be actively engaged in solutions to address 
harassment. Public accounts and previous testimony from former 
and current DOI employees have shown that this is not currently 
the case--they have described a culture of fear, intimidation, 
and secrecy under current leadership. DOI must improve its 
culture to fully tackle its harassment problem. Chair Cox led a 
hearing on sexual harassment at DOI in February 2019 to support 
growing calls to improve internal policies on prevention and 
mitigation.
    Sexual assault and sexual harassment (SASH) are also major 
issues for those who work for or on behalf of the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA has made 
laudable efforts to address SASH issues. However, recent 
internal evaluations demonstrate that the problem is persistent 
and requires additional policies and resources. In February 
2020, the Subcommittee held an oversight hearing to ensure 
progress was being made and that the agency prioritized 
improving the agency's culture. Chair Grijalva called on 
President Trump to withdraw his nomination of Barry Myers to 
lead NOAA based on his history of sexual harassment and 
producing a hostile work environment in a former job.

Freedom of Information Act

    An unprecedented backlog of information and document 
requests filed through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 
developed shortly after the arrival of the Trump 
administration. Instead of increasing processing capacity to 
meet the demand, DOI allowed bureaus to increase response times 
for requests, limit the number and quality of responses, and 
deny requests considered ``burdensome.'' DOI similarly proposed 
a draft rule that would further slow response times and allow 
them to pick and choose which requests to fill. After 
opposition from the Committee and others in the House and 
Senate, the most onerous provisions of the draft rule were 
removed from the final rule. Chairs Grijalva and Cox sent 
letters to Secretary Bernhardt requesting documents describing 
each stage of DOI's FOIA procedures. Both chairs joined the 
Committee on Oversight and Reform in a successful request to 
the Committee on Appropriations for increased funding to DOI to 
hire more staff to address the FOIA request backlog.

Villages at Vigneto

    The Subcommittee opened an investigation into federal 
agency decision-making regarding El Dorado Holdings, Inc.'s 
proposed Villages of Vigneto development in Arizona. The 
proposed development, which requires an extensive environmental 
impact analysis, would remove substantial amounts of 
groundwater from the ecologically fragile San Pedro Riparian 
National Conservation Area. The founder and chairman of El 
Dorado Holdings, Inc., Mike Ingram, has claimed that he met 
with Secretary Bernhardt in Billings, Mont., to discuss the 
Vigneto development. Less than two months later, Mr. Ingram 
made a one-time, out-of-cycle $10,000 donation to the Trump 
Victory super PAC. A whistleblower at the U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service who played a major role in the Vigneto 
approval process, and who had initially rejected the project, 
revealed that he got a phone call from a lawyer in the DOI 
Solicitor's Office advising him that ``a high-level politico'' 
believed he had made the wrong decision about Vigneto and he 
would be ``wise to reconsider it.'' He reversed his prior 
decision. The investigation is ongoing.

WWF and International Wildlife Conservation

    Following reports of alleged human rights violations--
including torture, sexual assault, and extrajudicial killings--
by rangers and paramilitary forces working on behalf of 
wildlife conservation organizations supported by the U.S. 
government, Chair Grijalva led a request with Ranking Member 
Rob Bishop (R-Utah) to GAO to examine federal funding to the 
organizations involved. The report, released in October 2020, 
revealed the need for more safeguards to ensure taxpayer money 
does not support human rights abuses by park rangers overseas. 
The Committee's efforts led DOI to implement changes to its 
funding processes and oversight mechanisms for international 
conservation grants, though many changes ultimately undermined 
conservation projects and had no nexus to human rights 
violations. The investigation supported legislative efforts to 
protect human rights in conservation areas.

Lafayette Square Investigation

    Immediately following the June 1, 2020, police crackdown 
against peaceful protesters at Lafayette Square Park in 
Washington, D.C., when President Donald Trump held a now 
infamous photo opportunity at St. John's Episcopal Church, 
Chair Grijalva and Vice Chair Deb Haaland requested a briefing 
from Acting Chief of the U.S. Park Police (USPP) Gregory T. 
Monahan regarding USPP's role in the incident. The first of two 
full Committee hearings on the issue featured witnesses who 
were at the scene--or supported those at the scene--describing 
the abuses they faced by USPP and partner law enforcement 
agencies. At the second hearing, Adam DeMarco, a whistleblower 
who was the highest-ranking National Guardsman on site that 
day, gave testimony that directly contradicted key portions of 
testimony offered by Acting Chief Monahan, who appeared under 
threat of subpoena. A letter from Chair Grijalva to Secretary 
Bernhardt requested documents and interviews to improve the 
Committee's understanding of the events, neither of which DOI 
has provided. The investigation is ongoing.

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion at the Department of the Interior

    Chair Cox led a hearing in September 2020 on the historical 
barriers to diversity, equity, and inclusion within DOI, 
highlighting major disparities at the National Park Service. 
The hearing featured a member discussion with witnesses on the 
Trump administration's lack of commitment to diversity and 
appointment of racist and bigoted individuals as heads of 
bureaus within DOI. The administration declined to send a 
witness.

DOI Law Enforcement Agencies and Body Cameras

    Since the shooting of unarmed civilian Bijan Ghaisar in 
2017 by two USPP officers just outside Washington, D.C., Chair 
Grijalva has insisted that USPP join its sister law enforcement 
agencies at DOI in using body-worn cameras and dashboard 
cameras to document encounters with civilians. When Acting 
Chief Monahan appeared as a witness during the full Committee 
hearing on the June 1 Lafayette Square incident, he suggested 
in response to member questions that body-worn cameras would be 
considered for future use. In September 2020, the Subcommittee 
held a hearing on the importance of using body cameras, 
featuring testimony from Kelly Ghaisar, mother of Bijan Ghaisar 
and a longtime advocate for police reform. The administration 
declined to send a witness. Since then, O&I staff have worked 
with law enforcement organizations to ensure the creation and 
enforcement of body-worn camera policies.

DOI Refusal to Cooperate with Oversight

    Throughout the 116th Congress, requests for information, 
interviews, and documents from the Trump administration were 
typically met with noncompliance or silence. The administration 
repeatedly refused to send witnesses to oversight hearings, or 
sent witnesses that were not able to answer questions they knew 
were coming. The overall pattern of obstruction and bad faith 
in responding to Committee oversight was documented in a March 
2020 letter to Secretary Bernhardt detailing the various 
letters and requests DOI had left unanswered. The Committee 
passed a resolution authorizing the Chair to issue subpoenas 
under certain circumstances in response to the administration's 
nearly unprecedented stonewalling.

Bernhardt Calendars

    Shortly after taking the top DOI job, Secretary Bernhardt 
stopped providing the full contents of his calendars to the 
public, which made it difficult for Americans to know whether 
he was violating ethics regulations or the terms of his ethics 
agreement. Versions of his calendars and daily schedules 
obtained through FOIA requests omitted important meetings 
between the Secretary and former clients on his recusal list 
known to have occurred through other sources of information. A 
joint investigation with the Committee on Oversight and Reform 
found that nobody at DOI would accept responsibility for 
ordering changes to calendar disclosures.

Border Wall

    The Committee held a forum in January 2019 to learn from 
panelists how the construction of a wall and associated 
infrastructure by the Trump administration along the U.S.-
Mexico border violated tribal sovereignty, cost Americans 
access to land through the overzealous use of eminent domain, 
and destroyed endangered species habitats.

Behind the Curtain and Stepping Up Forums

    As the whole country struggled against the coronavirus 
pandemic, the Trump administration and its staff focused its 
limited resources on helping polluters slash environmental 
protections. In continuing its oversight duties during the 
pandemic, the Subcommittee held two remote oversight forums on 
the topic: (1) Behind the Curtain, led by a panel of experts to 
investigate the administration's fossil fuel giveaway agenda 
during the pandemic; and (2) Stepping Up: Communities 
Protecting Themselves and the Environment in the Pandemic Era, 
where Committee members heard from communities fighting back 
against polluting industries and regulation rollbacks by the 
Trump administration during the pandemic.

                   OFFICE OF INSULAR AFFAIRS INSULAR

    Affairs hearings, which are held at the Full committee 
level, were chaired by Committee Vice Chair Gregorio Kilili 
Sablan (I-MP), except for those involving Puerto Rico. For the 
116th Congress, the Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) focused its 
efforts on reviewing the fundamental issues facing the U.S. 
Territories and Freely Associated States, including support and 
development of self-government and self-determination; access 
to federal programs; accountability of federal funds; 
implementation and enforcement of federal laws; economic 
development and self-sufficiency through the private sector; 
implementation and funding for the Compacts of Free 
Association; and management of limited land and water 
resources.
    Under the direction of Chair Raul M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.), 
OIA focused considerable effort on addressing the inequities 
faced by the people and government of Puerto Rico during post-
disaster rebuilding efforts after the devastation caused by 
major earthquakes and by hurricanes Irma and Maria. OIA also 
prioritized oversight of the impacts of fiscal austerity 
stemming from the Puerto Rico, Oversight, Management and 
Economic Accountability Act (PROMESA).
