General oversight responsibilities
    2.(a)  The various standing committees shall have general 
oversight responsibilities as provided in paragraph (b) in 
order to assist the House in--
        (1)  its analysis, appraisal, and evaluation of--
            (A)  the application, administration, execution, 
            and effectiveness of Federal laws; and
            (B)  conditions and circumstances that may indicate 
            the necessity or desirability of enacting new or 
            additional legislation; and
        (2)  its formulation, consideration, and enactment of 
        changes in Federal laws, and of such additional 
        legislation as may be necessary or appropriate.
    (b)(1)  In order to determine whether laws and programs 
addressing subjects within the jurisdiction of a committee are 
being implemented and carried out in accordance with the intent 
of Congress and whether they should be continued, curtailed, or 
eliminated, each standing committee (other than the Committee 
on Appropriations) shall review and study on a continuing 
basis--
            (A)  the application, administration, execution, 
            and effectiveness of laws and programs addressing 
            subjects within its jurisdiction;
            (B)  the organization and operation of Federal 
            agencies and entities having responsibilities for 
            the administration and execution of laws and 
            programs addressing subjects within its 
            jurisdiction;
            (C)  any conditions or circumstances that may 
            indicate the necessity or desirability of enacting 
            new or additional legislation addressing subjects 
            within its jurisdiction (whether or not a bill or 
            resolution has been introduced with respect 
            thereto); and
            (D)  future research and forecasting on subjects 
            within its jurisdiction.
        (2)  Each committee to which subparagraph (1) applies 
        having more than 20 members shall establish an 
        oversight subcommittee, or require its subcommittees to 
        conduct oversight in their respective jurisdictions, to 
        assist in carrying out its responsibilities under this 
        clause. The establishment of an oversight subcommittee 
        does not limit the responsibility of a subcommittee 
        with legislative jurisdiction in carrying out its 
        oversight responsibilities.
    (c)  Each standing committee shall review and study on a 
continuing basis the impact or probable impact of tax policies 
affecting subjects within its jurisdiction as described in 
clauses 1 and 3.
    (d)(1)  Not later than March 1 of the first session of a 
Congress, the chair of each standing committee (other than the 
Committee on Appropriations, the Committee on Ethics, and the 
Committee on Rules) shall--
            (A)  prepare, in consultation with the ranking 
            minority member, an oversight plan for that 
            Congress;
            (B)  provide a copy of that plan to each member of 
            the committee for at least seven calendar days 
            before its submission; and
            (C)  submit that plan (including any supplemental, 
            minority, additional, or dissenting views submitted 
            by a member of the committee) simultaneously to the 
            Committee on Oversight and Reform and the Committee 
            on House Administration.
        (2)  In developing the plan, the chair of each 
        committee shall, to the maximum extent feasible--
            (A)  consult with other committees that have 
            jurisdiction over the same or related laws, 
            programs, or agencies with the objective of 
            ensuring maximum coordination and cooperation among 
            committees when conducting reviews of such laws, 
            programs, or agencies and include in the plan an 
            explanation of steps that have been or will be 
            taken to ensure such coordination and cooperation;
            (B)  review specific problems with Federal rules, 
            regulations, statutes, and court decisions that are 
            ambiguous, arbitrary, or nonsensical, or that 
            impose severe financial burdens on individuals;
            (C)  give priority consideration to including in 
            the plan the review of those laws, programs, or 
            agencies operating under permanent budget authority 
            or permanent statutory authority;
            (D)  have a view toward ensuring that all 
            significant laws, programs, or agencies within the 
            committee's jurisdiction are subject to review 
            every 10 years; and
            (E)  have a view toward insuring against 
            duplication of Federal programs.
        (3)  Not later than April 15 in the first session of a 
        Congress, after consultation with the Speaker, the 
        Majority Leader, and the Minority Leader, the Committee 
        on Oversight and Reform shall report to the House the 
        oversight plans submitted under subparagraph (1) 
        together with any recommendations that it, or the House 
        leadership group described above, may make to ensure 
        the most effective coordination of oversight plans and 
        otherwise to achieve the objectives of this clause.
    (e)  The Speaker, with the approval of the House, may 
appoint special ad hoc oversight committees for the purpose of 
reviewing specific matters within the jurisdiction of two or 
more standing committees.

                                ------                                


             Fairness for Breastfeeding Mothers Act of 2019

                  Public Law 116-30 H.R. 866 (S. 528)

To provide a lactation room in public buildings.
Summary
    H.R. 886 requires public buildings, where it is feasible, 
to provide designated private and hygienic lactation spaces for 
nursing mothers that are available to the public. This bill 
would only require nursing spaces if a building is open to the 
public and if lactation rooms are available for federal 
employees.
    Under current practice, Federal agencies provide a 
designated, non-bathroom space for returning employees to pump 
breastmilk for their newborns, ensuring that new mothers are 
able to continue this practice even after returning to work. 
This bill extends this requirement to include not just 
employees, but visitors to Federal facilities.
    In Washington, D.C. alone, there are millions of tourists 
who visit Federal facilities. There are also visitors to 
federal agencies for meetings and events. Increasingly, 
families understand the unique benefits of breastfeeding, and 
visitors to these buildings who have newborns and babies should 
have a private space to breastfeed or pump. The benefits of 
breastfeeding are well-documented--breastmilk contains 
antibodies and hormones that boost babies' immune systems, and 
studies have shown lower risks of asthma, diabetes, respiratory 
infections, and other diseases among breastfed babies. 
Moreover, breastfeeding also has benefits for nursing mothers, 
who, research has shown, have lower risks of diabetes and 
certain forms of cancer.

   National Urban Search and Rescue Response System task forces may 
                       include Federal employees


                  Public Law 116-48 H.R. 639 (S. 1521)

To amend section 327 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 
and Emergency Assistance Act to clarify that National Urban 
Search and Rescue Response System task forces may include 
Federal employees.

Summary

    H.R. 639 is a technical correction which amends section 327 
of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act (Pub. L. 100-707) to explicitly clarify that 
Federal employees are able to participate in the National Urban 
Search and Rescue (USAR) Response System task forces 
coordinated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
    FEMA has developed the National USAR Response System 
(System) over the last several decades to act as a force 
multiplier for disaster rescue missions. The System is 
comprised of 28 task force teams from across the country and 
comprised of highly skilled volunteers who are constantly 
training for a variety of hazard scenarios, both man-made and 
natural, and task force teams have proven their effectiveness 
time and again.
    Following enactment of the National Urban Search and Rescue 
Response System Act (Pub. L. 114-326), certain Federal agencies 
that employ members of some of these task forces have been 
misinterpreting language which granted liability protections 
for non-Federal task force members equal to federal first 
responders--only when their task force was called into Federal 
service--resulting in an impediment to those federal employees 
serving on a task force.

                  Clean Water Revolving Fund Transfer


                      Public Law 116-63 (S. 1689)

To permit States to transfer certain funds from the clean water 
revolving fund of a State to the drinking water revolving fund 
of the State in certain circumstances, and for other purposes.

Summary

    Lead is a toxic chemical that causes serious health 
problems. Excessive and harmful levels of lead have been found 
in water systems across all fifty states. Those water systems 
serve drinking water to millions of people in the United 
States. States have access to both clean water state revolving 
funds (CWSRF) and drinking water state revolving funds (DWSRF). 
Not all states have sufficient funds in their DWSRF to address 
the threat to public health from heightened exposure to lead in 
drinking water. However, some states have available funds in 
their CWSRF that could be used to provide additional resources 
to help address lead in drinking water.
    Currently states have the ability to transfer up to 33 
percent of the annual capitalization grants they are awarded 
from one state revolving fund to the other, if the state 
decides to do so, in consultation with the Administrator of the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, some states 
have already transferred the maximum allowable amount from 
their annual CWSRF grants to the DWSRF, but have additional 
available funds in their CWSRF that could be used immediately 
to address a threat to public health from lead in drinking 
water. This bill allows a state to transfer an additional 5 
percent of its CWSRF's total cumulative dollars to its DWSRF in 
order to address a threat to public health caused by elevated 
exposure to lead in drinking water. This decision is up to the 
states' discretion; it is not mandatory. This authority expires 
one year after enactment.

   Safeguarding Tomorrow through Ongoing Risk Mitigation Act of 2020


                           STORM Act of 2020


              (Resilience Revolving Loan Fund Act of 2019)


                          S. 3418 (H.R. 3779)

To amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act to allow the Administrator of the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency to provide capitalization grants to 
eligible entities to establish revolving funds to provide 
assistance to reduce disaster risks, and for other purposes.

Summary

    H.R. 3779 establishes a state revolving loan fund program 
to facilitate funding of mitigation projects that reduce the 
risks and costs of natural disasters. Sources of Federal 
funding for proactive, predisaster mitigation are highly 
competitive and limited due to the significant volume of 
identified and necessary hazard mitigation projects across the 
Nation.
    Under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act (Stafford Act, Pub. L. 93-288, as amended), 
options for mitigation assistance include the Pre-Disaster 
Mitigation (PDM) program (Stafford Act, Sec. 203) and the 
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) (Stafford Act, Sec. 
404). With the Sandy Recovery Improvement Act (Division B of 
Pub. L. 113-2), the Committee provided flexibility in using 
Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Public Assistance 
program (Stafford Act, Sec. 428) to rebuild following a 
disaster, there is only a single FEMA pre-disaster mitigation 
program providing communities with resources to fund projects 
before disaster strikes in order to prevent or lessen damage 
from a future hazard event.
    While the Disaster Recovery Reform Act of 2018 (Division D 
of Pub. L. 115-254) provides a more consistent source of funds 
for FEMA's PDM program and allows for additional projects to 
receive Federal assistance, the outstanding need for pre-
disaster mitigation projects still surpasses projected funding. 
Strengthening mitigation practices is critical to reducing the 
future costs of disasters for the taxpayer; studies have shown 
for every $1 spent in mitigation, between $4 and $8 is saved in 
avoided disaster recovery costs. Providing additional solutions 
for communities to mitigate against disasters will reduce costs 
and save lives.
    Examining the use and application of revolving loan funds 
suggests such funds may provide communities with additional 
flexibility to fund mitigation projects while replenishing the 
initial funding through repayments. For example, Congress has 
authorized and appropriated dollars for similar state revolving 
funds for projects that have resulted in a significant increase 
in the capacity and capabilities of water infrastructure in 
communities across the Nation.
    Investment in mitigation projects and activities has a 
significant and measurable return on investment in reducing 
recovery costs following hazard events. To reduce the rising 
costs associated with disaster response and recovery, 
additional Federal funding streams dedicated to pre-disaster 
mitigation are necessary.
    H.R. 3779 amends the Stafford Act by authorizing 
capitalization grants and establishing a state-managed 
revolving loan fund program to allow states to offer low-
interest loans to eligible local entities for mitigation 
projects, with the repayment of the loans providing capital for 
subsequent projects. Participating entities would be provided 
additional flexibilities in the nature and types of eligible 
projects to further mitigate the impacts of natural disasters 
such as earthquakes, flooding, and wildfires, as well as non-
natural events like chemical spills. For example, existing FEMA 
hazard mitigation programs restrict Public Assistance 
mitigation funds if projects may accrue to the benefit of 
homeowners and businesses. This can create challenges, 
particularly in rural areas with lower populations and large 
amounts of farmland. The revolving loan fund is specifically 
intended to reduce risks for homeowners, businesses, nonprofit 
organizations, and communities. H.R. 3779, as amended, also 
explicitly ensures eligibility for non-Federal levees and other 
flood control measures.

             Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Act of 2019


                          H.R. 4031 (S. 2295)

To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reauthorize 
the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, and for other purposes.

Summary

    The Great Lakes Basin is home to more than 30 million 
people in the United States and Canada. The Basin reaches seven 
states, plus the entirety of Michigan and a portion of Ontario, 
Canada. The Great Lakes are the largest freshwater system in 
the world, holding about 21 percent of the world's fresh water 
supply to provide drinking water as well as recreation and 
economic opportunity.
    Agriculture, industrialization, and development have all 
impacted the Great Lakes ecosystem. The Great Lakes are 
particularly vulnerable to contamination because outflow rates 
from most of the Lakes are very slow, retaining the same water 
for years, sometimes decades, and in the case of Lake Superior, 
a century. As a result, some pollutants that reach the Basin 
settle into the sediments at the bottom of the Lakes.
    Human activities have also significantly impacted the 
ecosystem by way of non-indigenous species and excessive 
nutrients. These threaten massive ecological and economic 
damage. One such event of excessive nutrient runoff caused a 
harmful algal bloom in 2014, which required the City of Toledo, 
Ohio, to implement a drinking water ban that affected 500,000 
people. While efforts have been made to address these problems, 
there remain serious concerns in numerous areas.
    In response to the exacerbation of issues in the Basin, in 
2010, Congress amended existing authorities under section 118 
of the Clean Water Act to establish a coordinated Federal 
effort--the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI)--to 
provide resources toward meeting the long-term goals for the 
Great Lakes ecosystem. The GLRI is overseen by the Great Lakes 
Interagency Task Force--established by Executive Order 13340 
(69 Fed. Reg. 29043) and chaired by the Administrator of EPA. 
Agencies involved in the Task Force use agency funds or EPA 
funds to carry out projects or otherwise award grants or 
contracts to state, local, or tribal government entities, 
nongovernmental organizations, academic institutions, or other 
entities.
    The GLRI Action Plan for the past five years has been 
focused on making improvements in: toxic substances; invasive 
species, nearshore health and nonpoint source pollution; 
habitat and wildlife protection and restoration; and 
accountability, monitoring, evaluation, public involvement, and 
partnerships. Each focus area has specific objectives, 
commitments, and measures of progress. These include long-term 
strategies for restoration and future prevention, but 
environmental and public health issues continue to persist in 
the Great Lakes Basin today.
    In 2016, Congress reauthorized section 118 of the Clean 
Water Act through fiscal year 2021 (Pub. L. 114-322). Section 
118 was most recently authorized at $300 million per year. 
Federally authorized funding for this program expires at the 
end of fiscal year 2021.

              Protect and Restore America's Estuaries Act


                          H.R. 4044 (S. 3171)

To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reauthorize 
the National Estuary Program, and for other purposes.

Summary

    The Clean Water Act defines an estuary (and estuarine 
zones) as all or part of the mouth of a river or stream or 
other body of water having an unimpaired natural connection 
with open sea where freshwater from rivers or streams mixes 
with salt water from the ocean. [See Section 104(n)(1) of the 
Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1251(n)(4)).] 
Estuarine environments are unique and highly productive 
ecosystems critical to the ecological and economic well-being 
of the Nation's coastal areas.
    A healthy estuarine system has a lot relying on it. This 
includes industries that represent the economic centers for 
jobs and commerce in coastal states, such as fishing, 
recreation, and tourism. They also provide natural areas for 
ports and harbors to support these industries as well as 
general shipping and transportation.
    A diverse range of flora, fauna, birds, fish and other 
wildlife also depend on estuaries. These areas provide habitat, 
spawning and nesting grounds, and nutrients for the ecosystem. 
Humans rely on estuaries for all these functions as well as for 
natural water filtration and flood prevention and resiliency 
benefits.
    Despite these inherent values, EPA recognizes that 
estuaries in the United States are under severe stress. The 
impacts of human development and increased pollution cascade 
throughout the ecosystem and watershed--from erosion and water 
quality hazards to declines in species' populations. Ongoing 
threats to estuaries include shoreline erosion and damage to 
infrastructure, excessive nutrient contamination which may 
result in outbreaks of harmful algal blooms, and accelerated 
land loss.
    Recognizing the importance of estuaries and all their 
myriad functions, Congress created the National Estuary Program 
(NEP) in 1987 under section 320 of the Clean Water Act. The NEP 
authorizes States to nominate, and EPA to identify, estuaries 
across the country that may require comprehensive restoration 
planning and long-term protection strategies.
    The NEP aims to address water quality problems in, and 
promote the ecological integrity of, estuaries. This is 
achieved through the convening of a management conference 
compromised of Federal, state, and local government officials, 
as well as local citizens, businessowners, educators, 
researchers, and other interested stakeholders. The management 
conference is responsible for the development and 
implementation of locally-developed estuary management plans, 
called Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plans (CCMPs). 
The CCMP recommends targeted actions specific to the estuary's 
watershed, with a science-driven and consensus-based approach. 
This collaborative process has been successful nationwide and 
has led to the restoration or protection of more than two 
million acres since 2000.
    The United States has about 130 estuaries; however only 28 
estuaries are currently approved to receive Federal assistance 
under the NEP. Appropriated funds are split evenly across all 
28 programs, with a portion also going to a separate grant 
program. The program was created in a 2016 reauthorization,

battery safety standards for aircraft; and requires the 
Department of Transportation to conduct extensive safety 
evaluations before allowing railroads to transport liquefied 
natural gas by rail tank car.

than five times that of the Fixing America's Surface 
Transportation Act (FAST Act) (Pub. L. 114-94) levels, 
authorizing funds to address the state of good repair backlog 
in rail infrastructure, establish new intercity passenger rail 
routes, continue Amtrak's passenger rail service, and expand 
commuter rail. The bill also improves railroad safety, studies 
the impacts of current industry practices, and sets higher 
safety standards across the railroad industry.
    H.R. 2 establishes or reauthorizes grant programs to fund 
rail infrastructure throughout the country. The bill

decreased ridership and revenue costs caused by the COVID-19 
health crisis.

response to the December 2017 Amtrak derailment near DuPont, 
Washington, addresses blocked crossings, and revises the 
Federal Railroad Administration waiver and accident 
investigation process. It further requires that freight trains,

  Requiring Federal Railroad Administration to Provide Congressional 
               Notice of Comprehensive Safety Assessments


                                H.R. 543

To require the Federal Railroad Administration to provide 
appropriate congressional notice of comprehensive safety 
assessments conducted with respect to intercity or commuter 
rail passenger transportation.

Summary

    H.R. 543 requires the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) 
to provide appropriate Congressional notification of the 
initiation and results of comprehensive safety assessments of 
an entity providing intercity or commuter rail passenger 
transportation.
    The Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-432) 
directed the Secretary of Transportation to issue a regulation 
requiring certain railroads to develop, submit for review and 
approval, and implement a railroad safety risk reduction 
program within four years of the date of enactment. The FRA has 
not issued the final rule. Additionally, the findings of the 
FRA audit of the New Jersey Transit (NJT) were never provided 
to Congress. H.R. 543 ensures that FRA informs the House and 
Senate Committees of jurisdiction, as well as affected Members 
of Congress, of both the initiation of comprehensive safety 
assessments and their results. According to FRA, these in-depth 
safety reviews are undertaken after FRA has identified serious 
safety lapses, including incidents of non-compliance with 
federal safety regulations. This legislation will make FRA's 
process more transparent, help the House Transportation and 
Infrastructure Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science, and 
Transportation Committee fulfill their responsibility for 
overseeing rail safety, and allow affected Members of Congress 
and their constituents to be informed about the state of rail 
safety in their communities. The notice requirements will also 
let Congress know that systemic safety problems are being 
addressed by FRA, and inform Congress of FRA's findings and 
recommendations.

                   San Francisco Bay Restoration Act


                               H.R. 1132

To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to establish a 
grant program to support the restoration of San Francisco Bay.

Summary

    The San Francisco Bay Estuary spans roughly 1,600 square 
miles and drains more than 40 percent of the State's waters. 
The watershed is critical economically, providing drinking 
water for millions of Californians, irrigation for farmland, 
and supporting millions of jobs and the production of $370 
billion in goods and services. The area also serves as vital 
ecosystem for bird migration and salmon stocks, as well as a 
wide range of flora and fauna.
    The San Francisco Estuary has been a member of the EPA's 
National Estuary Program (NEP) since 1993 to address water 
quality challenges. The Estuary experiences exceedances in 
California state water quality standards for pesticides, 
invasive species, mercury, and other metals and toxic 
substances. Surrounding beaches have elevated levels of 
bacteria due to sewage spills and crumbling sewage 
infrastructure. According to the EPA, the Bay has lost more 
than 90 percent of shoreline wetlands and 40 percent of the 
total San Francisco Bay aquatic ecosystem in the past 150 years 
due to habitat destruction.
    In August 2018, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) 
published a report on the coordination of watershed restoration 
efforts between Federal and nonfederal entities in the San 
Francisco Bay Delta Watershed. They found that restoration 
efforts were stratified in such a way as to hinder long-term 
progress. A centralized program providing improved coordination 
and communication across efforts, along with dedicated Federal 
funding, will be the best chance for long-term restoration and 
protection of this major geographic area on the west coast.

areas of overlap in performing the assessments used to 
administer disaster assistance for individuals, households, and 
states, tribes, and territories. The working group, led by the 
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), would be composed 
of representatives of various agencies with disaster relief 
responsibilities and would collaborate with the Council of the 
Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency.
    H.R. 1306 directs the working group to make a 
recommendation as to whether a single agency can collect the 
information necessary to process assessment claims and submit a 
report detailing their findings to the appropriate 
congressional committees. The bill also directs the working 
group to determine if emerging technologies can be utilized to 
expedite federal assessments.

requirements for recipients of Federal disaster assistance, and 
for other purposes.

Summary

    H.R. 1307 creates a new system for tracking Federal 
disaster projects and assistance by establishing a single 
online repository to report information about federal disaster 
assistance.
    H.R. 1307 would require agencies that offer disaster 
assistance to submit information to the Office of Management

                       Local Water Protection Act


                               H.R. 1331

To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reauthorize 
certain programs relating to nonpoint source management, and 
for other purposes.

Summary

    H.R. 1331, reauthorizes appropriations for the nonpoint 
source management grants program, administered by the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Nonpoint source water 
pollution, unlike pollution from industrial and sewage 
treatment plants, comes from many diffuse sources, including 
runoff from farms, managed forests, and urban areas. This 
runoff can carry pollutants, such as fertilizers and sediment 
from fields, toxins from abandoned mines, and oils and heavy 
metals from roads, into lakes, rivers, and other bodies of 
water.
    Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, as amended in 1987, (33 
U.S.C. Sec. 1251 et seq.) established a non-regulatory program 
through which the EPA administers annual grants to help states 
develop and implement their own programs for managing nonpoint 
sources of water pollution. Under the EPA's 319 program, states 
retain the primary role for addressing nonpoint source water 
pollution, which they do largely through voluntary means and 
financial incentives. However, according to the Governmental 
Accountability Office, the extent of available incentives has 
declined in recent years, as grants to states under the section 
319 program have declined by more than 30 percent, from about 
$240 million annually in fiscal year 2004 to about $160 million 
in fiscal year 2014.
    The section 319 program was initially authorized at $70 
million annually in fiscal year 1988, and its authorization 
level steadily increased to $130 million in fiscal year 1991--
the last year of authorization for this program. Since that 
time, the 319 program has been authorized through the annual 
appropriations bill for EPA. In fiscal year 2019, the section 
319 program received an appropriation of $170.9 million 
[Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019, (Pub. L. 116-6)].
    H.R. 1331 authorizes $200 million annually for the section 
319 program through 2024.

               Chesapeake Bay Program Reauthorization Act


                           H.R. 1620 (S. 701)

To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reauthorize 
the Chesapeake Bay Program.

Summary

    H.R. 1620 reauthorizes Federal appropriations for the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program 
with incremental increases over the next five years. The 
Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States, 
covering more than 4,500 square miles, and draining a 64,000 
square mile watershed that extends across parts of Delaware, 
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the 
District of Columbia.
    In 1983, Congress established the Chesapeake Bay Program, 
authorized under section 117 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 
1267). The Chesapeake Bay Program implements the Chesapeake Bay 
Agreement, a periodically renewed agreement between executives 
in the six watershed states and the District of Columbia, a 
joint Bay state legislative body (the Chesapeake Bay 
Commission) and select federal agencies (including EPA) that 
aim to coordinate Bay restoration efforts. The most recent 
agreement was signed in 2014 (known as the 2014 Chesapeake Bay 
Watershed Agreement) and set a series of restoration goals and 
actions to be completed by 2025.

                Notice to Airmen Improvement Act of 2019


                               H.R. 1775

To establish a task force on NOTAM improvements, and for other 
purposes.

Summary

    Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) are notices from the Federal 
Aviation Administration (FAA) to pilots containing essential, 
real-time information regarding abnormal status of the National 
Airspace System. NOTAMs alert pilots and others to potential 
hazards in the airspace or at an airport that could affect 
flight safety, as well as changes to facilities, services, or 
flight procedures (i.e., the closure of a runway or taxiway). 
Pilots are required to review all NOTAMs before flight.
    On July 7, 2017, Air Canada flight 759 lined up for landing 
on a taxiway, instead of the proper runway, as it descended 
into San Francisco International Airport. The aircraft nearly 
landed on top of several aircraft, full of passengers on board 
and awaiting takeoff, before executing a go-around. The 
National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable 
cause of the incident was the pilots' misidentification of the 
taxiway as the intended runway, resulting from ineffective 
review of NOTAM information before flight and during the 
approach. Other factors contributed to the incident as well.
    H.R. 1775 requires the FAA to establish a task force--
composed of representatives from airlines, labor, and general 
and business aviation, as well as aviation safety and human 
factors experts--to review existing methods for presenting 
NOTAMs to pilots and NOTAM policies and regulations and 
determine best practices for organizing and presenting flight 
operations information to pilots in an optimal manner. 
Recommendations from the task force seek to improve the 
presentation of information in NOTAMs and ensure their accuracy 
and completeness.

       Promoting United Government Efforts To Save Our Sound Act


                               H.R. 2247

To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to provide 
assistance for programs and activities to protect the water 
quality of Puget Sound, and for other purposes.

Summary

    Puget Sound is a deep fjord estuary spanning much of the 
state of Washington and extending north into Canada. The Sound 
is the second largest estuary in the United States, and 
encompasses a complex landscape featuring mountains, farmlands, 
urban development, rivers, forests, wetlands, and approximately 
2,500 miles of shoreline. The Puget Sound watershed, including 
its tributary waters, is one of the most ecologically diverse 
ecosystems in North America, with natural resources that have 
ecological, economic, and cultural importance both to the 
United States and to the 4.5 million people living within the 
Puget Sound watershed, including many Tribal nations. The 
health and productivity of Sound is the cornerstone of the 
region's quality of life and vibrant economy, including a 
nationally-significant salmon fishery, as well as commercial 
aquaculture operations, agriculture, and commercial navigation, 
just to name a few.
    Human development and other actions have degraded the water 
quality and habitat of the Sound, including that of critical 
species like salmon and orca whales. Threats to the Puget 
Sound, such as water pollution, sediment contamination, 
environmental degradation, and habitat loss, jeopardize the 
economic productivity and natural resources of the region. In 
1988, the Puget Sound was designated an Estuary of National 
Significance, and later joined EPA's National Estuaries Program 
(under section 320 of the Clean Water Act) to develop and 
implement plans for restoration and protection of the Sound.
    Federal restoration efforts in the Puget Sound come from a 
variety of Federal agencies and sources, the primary sources of 
which are the Puget Sound Geographic program--a specific line 
item in EPA's environment and program management account--and 
an allocation from EPA's National Estuary Program. The 
Committee has received several estimates on the amount of 
Federal funding allocated to Puget Sound restoration efforts; 
however, the Committee cannot document exactly how much Federal 
funding has gone to restoration efforts in recent years, and 
from what Federal agencies.
    A July 2018 report by the U.S. Government Accountability 
Office (GAO), Puget Sound Restoration: Additional Actions Could 
Improve Assessment of Progress [GAO-18-453], requested by the 
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, on Federal and 
state efforts supporting the Puget Sound found that involved 
entities engaged in a range of activities including habitat 
protection, water quality improvement, and monitoring. The 
report also looked at the efficacy of this coordination, 
finding that the threats the Sound faces still outpace the 
efforts to combat them. According to GAO, further investment 
and a program with clear leadership and coordination of 
objectives will be crucial to achieving the long-term 
restoration and protection goals of this diverse and dynamic 
ecosystem.
    The purpose of H.R. 2247, as amended, is to establish a new 
regional program office within the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) to support restoration efforts and 
activities in the Puget Sound, to coordinate Federal 
restoration efforts and activities within the Sound, and to 
authorize Federal appropriations for such restoration efforts 
and activities.

       Full Utilization of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund Act


                               H.R. 2440

To provide for the use of funds in the Harbor Maintenance Trust 
Fund for the purposes for which the funds were collected and to 
ensure that funds credited to the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund 
are used to support navigation, and for other purposes.

Summary

    H.R. 2440 creates a discretionary cap adjustment for the 
full-utilization of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund (HMTF). 
This change would enable the investment of approximately $34 
billion over the next decade from the HMTF for the intended 
purpose of maintaining Federally-authorized harbors, allowing 
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to dredge all Federal 
harbors to their constructed widths and depths.
    According to the Corps, navigation channels at our Nation's 
busiest 59 ports are available less than 35 percent of the 
time--and the conditions of our midsize and emerging harbors 
are far worse. In 1986, Congress enacted the Harbor Maintenance 
Tax (HMT) [Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99-
662)] to recover the operation and maintenance dredging costs 
for Federally-authorized ports from maritime shippers. The HMT 
is directly levied on importers and domestic shippers using 
coastal or inland ports as a 0.125 percent ad valorem tax on 
the value of imported cargo (e.g., $1.25 per $1,000 value) and 
is typically passed along to U.S. taxpayers on the purchase of 
imported goods or services. These revenues are deposited into 
the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund (Trust Fund) within the U.S. 
Treasury from which Congress currently appropriates funds to 
the Corps for harbor maintenance dredging.
    The Trust Fund collects more revenue from shippers than 
Congress has appropriated to the Corps to maintain our harbors. 
According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Harbor 
Maintenance Trust Fund will collect an additional $24.5 billion 
in new revenue (including interest) over the next decade--in 
addition to the estimated $9.3 billion in previously collected 
but unspent revenue. According to CBO, Federal appropriations 
from the Trust Fund are only estimated to total $19.4 billion 
over the same decade, resulting in the Trust Fund balance 
reaching $14.4 billion in fiscal year 2029.
    H.R. 2440 would provide the authority to expend the 
expected $24.5 billion in new revenue (including interest) 
collected in the Trust Fund over the next decade; and the 
authority to appropriate additional funds for harbor 
maintenance needs from the existing $9.3 billion balance in the 
Trust Fund through a discretionary cap adjustment. This would 
provide approximately $34 billion in infrastructure investment 
for our Nation's coastal and inland harbors over the next 
decade.

            Housing Survivors of Major Disasters Act of 2019


                          H.R. 2914 (S. 1605)

To make available necessary disaster assistance for families 
affected by major disasters, and for other purposes.

Summary

    Following a disaster, families and individuals may find 
their possessions, including needed documentation, destroyed or 
missing. In some cases, associated records maintained by State 
or local governments may also be unavailable. As a result, FEMA 
assistance may be denied and not available. For example, in 
Puerto Rico, this resulted in families waiting months to 
receive housing assistance simply due to bureaucratic hurdles 
and rigid documentation requirements that proved unrealistic in 
the wake of the major disaster. H.R. 2914 addresses this issue 
by ensuring FEMA develops alternative methods to assess 
eligibility.
    H.R. 2914, as amended, would begin to address these issues 
by allowing for survivors to re-apply for assistance and 
clarifies to FEMA the types of documentation that should be 
considered for eligibility. Additionally, it authorizes 
assistance to help disaster survivors in gathering requisite 
documents.

  Reauthorization of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Restoration Program


                               H.R. 4275

To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reauthorize 
the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Restoration Program, and for other 
purposes.

Summary

    The Lake Pontchartrain Basin watershed encompasses sixteen 
Louisiana parishes (counties) and four Mississippi counties, 
covering a 10,000 square mile area. The Basin also includes 
Lake Borgne, Lake Maurepas, and receives flows from five rivers 
and two bayous. Approximately 2.1 million people live in the 
area of Lake Pontchartrain, the 630 square mile lake at the 
center of the basin, making it the most densely populated area 
in Louisiana.
    The Basin is part of an essential wetland ecosystem, 
providing habitat, spawning grounds, and food sources to 
support numerous species of fish, birds, mammals, and plants. 
Its fisheries provide recreation as well as livelihoods, 
contributing over $35 million to the local economy by providing 
much of the seafood harvested in the Gulf Coast.
    Lake Pontchartrain and its surrounding area face several 
challenges, most stemming from poor planning and 
overdevelopment. Logging in the upland areas has caused 
degradation, reduced plant growth, and increased saltwater 
intrusions, which subsequently have prevented new growth and 
contributed to a dead zone in the southeastern end of the lake. 
The Basin also faces impacts from urban and agricultural 
runoff, sewage overflow, and nonpoint source pollution. The 
loss of wetlands to serve as natural filters for pollutants 
exacerbates these effects.
    The Basin Restoration Program helps to address these 
environmental challenges, and the region is already seeing some 
significant comebacks. Much of this success is due to a 
collaborative effort between Federal, state, and local entities 
who share an interest in a clean, healthy Lake and Basin. 
Continued funding of these efforts is essential to protecting 
and restoring the health of this ecosystem.
    The Lake Pontchartrain Basin Restoration Program was 
initially authorized at $20 million for each of FY2001-FY 2005. 
Since fiscal year 2015, this program has received $900,000 in 
appropriations annually.

         Preliminary Damage Assessment Improvement Act of 2019


                               H.R. 4358

To direct the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management 
Agency to submit to Congress a report on preliminary damage 
assessment and to establish damage assessment teams in the 
Federal Emergency Management Agency, and for other purposes.

Summary

    State, tribal, territorial, and local, representatives are 
responsible for conducting a preliminary damage assessment 
(PDA) with the assistance of FEMA officials to validate damages 
ahead of a governor's or chief executive's submittal of a 
request for FEMA assistance to the President. FEMA uses PDA 
findings in the wake of a hazard event to determine the extent 
of damage and the resulting unmet needs of individuals and 
households, businesses, and the public sector in an affected 
community or area. PDA findings play a critical role in that 
they form the basis for the determinations as to whether 
damages are of a significant magnitude to warrant a disaster 
declaration pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 
and Emergency Assistance Act.
    Despite the significance of PDAs, the Committee has 
received reports of discrepancies across the ten FEMA regions 
regarding the inconsistency of information, data, and FEMA 
staffing involved in the PDA process. H.R. 4358 will direct 
FEMA to produce a report examining the PDA process and 
establish a consistent training program for FEMA personnel to 
effectively and uniformly support these assessments.

 To rename the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation the Great 
           Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation


                          H.R. 4470 (S. 4870)

To rename the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation the 
Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation.

Summary

    H.R. 4470 seeks to rename the Saint Lawrence Seaway 
Development Corporation to the ``Great Lakes St. Lawrence 
Seaway Development Corporation.'' This change is intended to 
more accurately portray the geographical scope of the agency 
and the important role the agency plays in the global commerce 
trade as a direct connection from the Great Lakes to the 
Atlantic Ocean.
    According to the Congressional Research Service, the entire 
Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway system runs for 2,300 
nautical miles from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Duluth, 
Minnesota. (CRS, The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway Navigation 
System: Options for Growth, (R44664)). This waterway system 
allows the waterborne transport of commercial goods, 
commodities, and raw materials between the Atlantic Ocean and 
commercial ports within the Great Lakes system. It takes a ship 
six to seven days to sail from Montreal, Canada, to Duluth, 
Minnesota, or to Chicago, Illinois. There are two distinct 
categories of vessel traffic on the system: intra-lakes trade, 
and transits between the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence 
Seaway.
    The Saint Lawrence Seaway portion of the system (Seaway) is 
a 328 nautical-mile deep-draft waterway between the Port of 
Montreal, Canada, and Lake Erie. It connects the Great Lakes 
with the Atlantic Ocean via the lower St. Lawrence River. The 
Seaway includes a network of 15 locks and connecting channels 
located in Canada and the United States. Thirteen of the locks 
belong to Canada and the remaining two locks, located in 
Massena, New York, belong to the United States.

        Stop Sexual Assault and Harassment in Transportation Act


                         H.R. 5139 (H.R. 5096)

To protect transportation personnel and passengers from sexual 
assault and harassment, and for other purposes.

Summary

    H.R. 5139 protects personnel and passengers during 
passenger transportation by air, motor carrier, commuter and 
intercity rail, transit, vessel, and rideshare from sexual 
assault and harassment and to improve the response to and 
facilitate the reporting of such incidents.
    The United States prides itself on being an innovator and 
leader in transportation. However, recent media reports have 
brought to light the often-untold stories of transportation 
personnel and travelers exposed to sexual assault and 
harassment in passenger transportation. The stories include 
company employees and passengers, especially women and 
children, being sexually harassed or assaulted on airplanes, 
crowded trains, and cruise ships. The reality is that 
passengers and personnel experiencing such situations are in 
confined spaces, often with limited options to respond to or 
escape the unwelcome behavior.
    While it is estimated that 90 percent of U.S. companies 
currently have a sexual harassment policy in place, one in five 
companies does not offer training to prevent such incidents. 
This can leave passengers vulnerable and personnel unequipped 
to adequately address incidents when they occur. Furthermore, 
there is no Federal clearinghouse for data on transportation-
related sexual assault or harassment incidents.
    For these reasons, a Federal response is necessary. It is 
critical that the United States maintain a safe transportation 
system for the traveling public, and that transportation 
providers enact strict policies to prevent sexual assault and 
harassment in transportation and adopt clear procedures to 
respond to such incidents.

projects. It seeks to incentivize early completion of Federally 
funded airport improvement projects. The AIP--a grant program 
administered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)--is a 
key source of funding for the planning and development of 
public-use airports in the United States. AIP funds are often 
used for airside infrastructure projects, such as runway, 
taxiway, or apron construction or reconstruction. While 
necessary and beneficial, these projects can sometimes have a 
significant effect on an airport's operations and its users. 
H.R. 5912 could help alleviate these effects by permitting 
airports to use AIP funds to make incentive payments to 
contractors for early completion of certain airport development 
and planning projects.

                Water Resources Development Act of 2020

   H.R. 6730, H.R. 6771, H.R. 6964, H.R. 6985, H.R. 7220, H.R. 7833)

To provide for improvements to the rivers and harbors of the 
United States, to provide for the conservation and development 
of water and related resources, and for other purposes.

Summary

    H.R. 7575 authorizes the United States Army Corps of 
Engineers (Corps) to carry out water resources development 
activities for the Nation, usually through cost-shared 
partnerships with non-Federal sponsors. Activities include 
projects or studies to address river and coastal navigation, 
the reduction of flood and hurricane storm damage risks, 
shoreline protection, water supply and conservation, the 
restoration and protection of ecosystems and the environment, 
and disaster response and recovery.
    In addition it enhances the Corps' responsibility to 
address the long-term resiliency of Corps projects, enables the 
Corps to address the deferred maintenance of our Nation's ports 
and harbors, expands the Corps' ability to identify and 
implement nature-based and natural infrastructure components, 
addresses the affordability of Corps projects for economically 
disadvantaged and rural communities, and modernizes aspects of 
the Corps' decision-making structure.
    America enjoys an unparalleled network of natural harbors 
and rivers. The ports, channels, locks, dams, and other 
infrastructure that support our maritime and waterways 
transportation system and provide flood protection for our 
homes and businesses are vitally important to a healthy 
national economy, job growth, and global competitiveness. 
Ensuring a sound infrastructure network is a shared 
responsibility, with Federal and state roles recognized by our 
Founding Fathers.
    The Water Resources Development Act of 2020 (WRDA) promotes 
the Federal commitment to our Nation's competitiveness, 
prosperity, and economic growth by maintaining strong maritime 
transportation infrastructure, ensuring the efficient flow of 
domestic and international commerce, and protecting the lives 
and livelihoods of the American people in a sustainable manner.
    Through WRDA, Congress authorizes the key missions of the 
Corps, including developing, maintaining, and supporting the 
Nation's economically vital waterway infrastructure and 
supporting effective and targeted flood protection and 
environmental restoration needs. WRDA also provides Congress 
the opportunity to implement critical policy reforms and 
strengthen oversight.
    Since 2014, the Committee has returned to regular 
consideration of Water Resources Development Acts once each 
Congress. WRDA 2020 continues the WRDA two-year cycle that 
provides appropriate oversight of, and policy direction to, the 
Administration and the Corps, including bipartisan changes to 
how the Corps carries out vital coastal and inland navigation 
projects and addresses both the resiliency and affordability of 
future water resources development projects.

Coast Guard. It also covers basic allowances, funeral travel, 
and gratuities for families of service members who have died on 
active duty, as well as retired pay. These allocations are 
dependent upon the other military branches receiving continuing 
pay during a government shutdown and are provided until the 
enactment of specified Coast Guard appropriations legislation.

                 Aviation Funding Stability Act of 2019


                               H.R. 1108

To provide for funding from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund 
for all Federal Aviation Administration activities in the event 
of a Government shutdown, and for other purposes.

Summary

    H.R. 1108 protects Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 
programs and personnel, and the U.S. aviation industry as a 
whole, in the event of a future lapse in the agency's 
appropriations.
    Over the past six years, the FAA has shut down three times 
due to lapses in appropriations. The most recent 35-day lapse 
in appropriations that occurred between December 2018 and 
January 2019 affected the FAA's ability to fulfill its mandate 
and oversee the National Airspace System. In December, more 
than 17,000 FAA employees--approximately 40 percent of the 
entire agency--were furloughed, including the vast majority of 
aviation safety inspectors. Those FAA employees either recalled 
or who remained at work during the lapse were not paid during 
this period.
    The FAA's Airport and Airway Trust Fund (AATF) generates 
sufficient revenue from the domestic passenger ticket tax, 
commercial fuel tax, general aviation gasoline tax, and cargo 
tax, among other sources, to fund fully all FAA-related 
activities throughout a lapse in appropriations.
    H.R. 1108 authorizes the FAA to continue to draw from the 
AATF during a lapse in appropriations, with no General Fund 
contributions, in order to sustain all of the agency's programs 
at current funding levels. Under this legislation, all FAA 
employees will remain at work during a lapse and will be 
compensated for their work.

Legislative History

    H.R. 1108 was introduced in the House on February 8, 2019, 
by Mr. DeFazio and Mr. Larsen of Washington and referred to the

1108 was referred to the Subcommittee on Aviation.
    The Subcommittee on Aviation was discharged from further

    The Full Committee considered H.R. 1108 on March 27, 2019,

                                ------                                


     To amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
 Assistance Act to ensure that unmet needs after a major disaster are 
                                  met.


                               H.R. 1311

To amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act to ensure that unmet needs after a major 
disaster are met.

Summary

    H.R. 1311 improves and expedites the delivery of federal 
disaster assistance by adding a new section to the Robert T. 
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford 
Act) (Pub. L. 100-707), Section 431. Section 431 would give the 
Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) the 
authority to draw down up to 10 percent of the amount provided 
by Sections 406 and 408 of the Stafford Act, and provide funds 
to disaster areas within 30 days.
    Additionally, Section 431 would give states the flexibility 
to administer funds for unmet needs, such as disaster-related 
home repair, and economic and business development activities.
    Rather than requiring Federal approval, the bill would 
create a mechanism for states to report to FEMA the criteria 
established for determining how the funds are spent, the 
allocation of funds, and the process for public notice and 
comment. The bill would also provide FEMA with more flexibility 
for immediate longer-term housing solutions for individuals to 
rebuild.

    H.R. 1322 directs the United States Coast Guard to submit a 
report on vulnerabilities of Coast Guard installations and 
requirements resulting from climate change over the next 20 
years. This requirement mirrors Section 335 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Pub. L. 115-
91), which required the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
to Congress on the vulnerabilities to military installations 
and combatant commander requirements resulting from climate 
change.
    The bill requires the report to list the ten most 
vulnerable Coast Guard installations based on the effects of 
climate change, including rising sea tides, increased flooding, 
drought, desertification, wildfires, thawing permafrost, or any 
other categories the Commandant determines necessary. H.R. 1322 
also requires an overview of mitigation efforts that could 
ensure the continued operational viability of Coast Guard 
infrastructure and enhance the resiliency of such facilities.

         Water Quality Protection and Job Creation Act of 2019


 H.R. 1497 (H.R. 1764, H.R. 2458, H.R. 2470, H.R. 2776, and H.R. 3521)

To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reauthorize 
certain water pollution control programs, and for other 
purposes.

Summary

    H.R. 1497 restores and maintains the chemical, physical, 
and biological integrity of the nation's waters by 
reauthorizing Federal appropriations for capitalization grants 
to state water pollution control revolving funds and other 
clean water pollution control grant programs to address the 
discharge of pollution into jurisdictional waters. For more 
than 70 years, Congress has provided Federal funds to 
municipalities to address local water quality challenges, 
including sewage treatment needs. Initially, this assistance 
was provided as loans to States, municipalities, or interstate 
agencies for the construction of necessary treatment works to 
prevent the discharge by such State or municipality of 
untreated or inadequately treated sewage or other waste into 
interstate waters. (Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1948 
(FWPCA), Pub. L. 80-845, 62 Stat. 1155.) In later amendments to 
the FWPCA, Congress provided direct grants to municipalities. 
In the 1972 amendments to the FWPCA, such grants covered 55 to 
75 percent of the total costs of the projects. Then, in 1987, 
Congress converted the direct grant program to the current 
Clean Water SRF authority that provides capitalization grant 
funding directly to States to capitalize the States' Clean 
Water SRFs (Pub. L. 100-4). These SRFs in-turn, provide below-
market rate loans to communities to finance local wastewater 
infrastructure needs (required to be fully-repaid over a 30-
year term).
    The authorization of appropriations for the Clean Water SRF 
expired after 1994. Yet, Congress has continued to fund, 
through annual appropriations legislation, the Clean Water SRF 
program because it provides a critical investment in the 
nation's wastewater infrastructure. Congressional 
appropriations have provided more than $43 billion in Federal 
capitalization assistance to States since 1987. Congress 
provided an appropriation of $1.694 billion for the Clean Water 
SRF in the fiscal year 2019 appropriations bill (Pub. L. 116-
6). In turn, this infusion of Federal capital to State 
revolving funds has leveraged over $133 billion in direct 
assistance to communities over this period.
    In 2014, Congress enacted amendments to the Clean Water Act 
which authorized States that provide assistance to communities 
under the Clean Water SRF program to provide additional 
subsidization, including forgiveness of principal and negative 
interest loans to benefit a municipality that meets the 
affordability criteria of the State; or that seeks additional 
subsidization to benefit individual ratepayers in the 
municipality's residential user rate class that will experience 
a significant hardship from the increase in rates necessary to 
finance the project or activity for which assistance is sought.
    In addition, in recent years, the annual appropriations 
bills for EPA have included provisions to require States to use 
a portion of Clean Water SRF funding to provide communities 
with ``additional subsidy to eligible recipients in the form of 
forgiveness of principal, negative interest loans, or grants,'' 
as well as to reserve an additional portion of Clean Water SRF 
funding for ``projects to address green infrastructure, water 
or energy efficiency improvements, or other environmentally 
innovative activities.'' In addition, the annual appropriations 
bills for EPA have included reservations of funds from the 
Clean Water State Revolving Fund for projects, training, 
technical assistance, or education for Indian Tribes, 
Reservations, and Native Villages, and reservations of Clean 
Water SRF funding for the U.S. Territories.

              Wildlife Corridors Conservation Act of 2019


                          H.R. 2795 (S. 1499)

To establish National Wildlife Corridors to provide for the 
protection and restoration of certain native fish, wildlife, 
and plant species, and for other purposes.

Summary

    H.R. 2795 establishes a National Wildlife Corridors system 
to provide for the protection and restoration of certain native 
fish, wildlife and plant species, as well as create a Tribal 
wildlife corridors system. Wildlife migration in North America 
can be impeded by human-made infrastructure, including roads, 
fences, and residential development. There are certain cases 
where highways cross commonly-used wildlife migration routes 
and can lead to an increased risk of vehicle-wildlife 
collisions. H.R. 2795 seeks to coordinate between the 
Department of Transportation and State, Tribal and local 
transportation agencies to identify and implement voluntary 
environmental mitigation measures to help improve public safety 
and mitigate damage to the natural movements of native species.

                                ------                                


                        Fair and Open Skies Act


                               H.R. 3632

To ensure that authorizations issued by the Secretary of 
Transportation to foreign air carriers do not undermine labor 
rights or standards, and for other purposes.

Summary

    H.R. 3632 ensures that future foreign air carrier permits 
granted by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), which 
allow foreign operators to conduct revenue air service to the 
United States, include additional DOT review and analysis in 
order to preserve fair competition and labor standards in 
international aviation.
    On December 2, 2016, the DOT issued a foreign air carrier 
permit to Norwegian Air International (NAI). Numerous U.S. 
aviation stakeholders objected to the DOT decision, arguing, 
among other things, that NAI's business model was an attempt to 
subvert fair competition and labor standards. Specifically, 
although the majority of NAI's long-haul flights to the United 
States operate from Scandinavian countries and others in 
continental Europe, the carrier organized itself under the laws 
of Ireland, thereby permitting the carrier to hire crewmembers 
on short-term contracts governed under Singapore law.
    Opponents of the issuance of a foreign air carrier permit 
to Norwegian contended that such an outsourcing practice runs 
contrary to U.S. labor laws and afoul of the fair labor 
principles of Norway, the European Union, and the United States 
incorporated by reference in the multilateral United States-
European Union-Norway-Iceland Air Transportation Agreement of 
April 2007 (as amended) (U.S.-EU Open Skies Agreement). This 
``flag of convenience'' business model offered NAI an unfair 
competitive advantage in the transatlantic market, according to 
U.S. aviation stakeholders.
    In addition to the threat posed by ``flag of convenience'' 
business models to U.S. aviation industry and labor interests, 
other foreign air carriers are similarly venturing into 
atypical employment models. For example, some foreign air 
carriers employ pilots and flight crew members under individual 
or temporary contracts, like NAI, which remove the direct 
relationship between the carrier and flight crew. Such business 
models undermine labor standards by allowing the carrier to 
exploit employees through a third party when negotiating 
employment terms, salary, and benefits, according to U.S. 
aviation stakeholders.
    H.R. 3632 precludes the DOT from permitting a future 
foreign air carrier to serve the United States under the U.S.-
EU Open Skies Agreement unless the Secretary of Transportation 
determines the foreign air carrier permit or exemption is 
consistent with the fair labor standards and fair competition 
requirements of the U.S.-EU Open Skies Agreement and imposes on 
the permit any conditions necessary to ensure compliance with 
those standards and requirements. H.R. 3632 further requires 
the Secretary, when granting a permit to a future foreign air 
carrier, to find the foreign air transportation to be provided 
under the permit will be in the public interest. H.R. 3632 
provides that preventing entry into U.S. markets by a ``flag of 
convenience'' carrier--defined in the legislation as a carrier 
established in a country other than the home country of its 
majority owner to avoid regulations of its home country--or 
otherwise undermining labor standards is within the public 
interest.
    This legislation is necessary because a foreign air carrier 
seeking to serve the United States under an existing 
international air transportation agreement, such as the U.S.-EU 
Open Skies Agreement, should not per se be deemed in the U.S. 
public interest, as the DOT determined when it granted the 2016 
foreign air carrier permit to NAI. In fact, such determinations 
can incentivize other foreign air carriers to follow suit. A 
foreign air carrier, like NAI, that establishes itself in a 
location outside of its home country in order to take advantage 
of more permissive labor, tax, and safety laws than those of 
the United States and certain other countries poses a threat to 
U.S. aviation commercial, economic, and labor interests. This 
legislation seeks to help prevent market access opportunities 
created under the U.S.-EU Open Skies Agreement and other 
international air transport agreements from undermining and 
eroding the highest fair competition principles, labor and wage 
standards, and aviation safety rules.

Preparedness and Risk Management for Extreme Weather Patterns Assuring 
                Resilience and Effectiveness Act of 2019


                               H.R. 4347

To enhance the Federal Government's planning and preparation 
for extreme weather and the Federal Government's dissemination 
of best practices to respond to extreme weather, thereby 
increasing resilience, improving regional coordination, and 
mitigating the financial risk to the Federal Government from 
such extreme weather, and for other purposes.

Summary

    H.R. 4347 establishes the Interagency Council on Extreme 
Weather Resilience, Preparedness, and Risk Identification and 
Management. It is intended to ensure better planning and 
coordination among Federal agencies to cope with extreme 
weather events and facilitate information sharing with State, 
local, tribal, and territorial governments to help increase 
emergency preparedness.
    Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and the 
costs associated with disaster mitigation and response are 
mounting. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA), there have been only three years since 2000 with fewer 
than one hundred Presidentially-declared hazards. The 
regularity of these extreme weather-related events has made 
clear that coordinating mitigation efforts and disseminating 
the best available information and practices to Federal, State, 
local, tribal, and territorial stakeholders by Federal agencies 
is critical.
    H.R. 4347 establishes an interagency council to provide 
recommendations on the best means of planning and preparing for 
future extreme weather incidents. The interagency council is to 
be comprised of 15 or more representatives from the White House 
and other executive departments and agencies, including the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Council on 
Environmental Quality (CEQ), the Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS), the Department of Transportation (DOT), the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the National Oceanic 
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The bill also directs 
Federal agencies to develop extreme weather plans to consider 
the effects of these events on the operations and mission of 
the respective department or agency.
    The council will coordinate with groups in the Federal 
government focused on extreme weather mitigation and disaster 
recovery to avoid duplication of efforts, including the 
Mitigation Framework Leadership Group, the Recovery Support 
Function Leaders Group, and others. The council will support 
regional, State, local, tribal, and territorial action to 
assess extreme weather-related vulnerabilities and cost-
effectively increase resilience, preparedness, and risk 
management in communities and critical economic sectors. The 
council is charged with facilitating the development, sharing, 
and integration of meteorological and extreme weather science--
and related disciplines--into agency policies, including 
policies on risk evaluation and planning.
    The bill requires an annual report to Congress on how the 
government-wide goals and priorities are being met, including 
recommendations to enhance effectiveness and descriptions of 
the progress of coordination efforts. By facilitating the 
cooperative enhancement of resilience and hazard mitigation 
practices ahead of future extreme weather-related events, the 
interagency council will contribute to reducing the damage and 
related costs incurred by future Presidentially-declared 
emergencies and disasters.

Legislative History

    H.R. 5047 was introduced in the House on November 12, 2019, 
by Mr. DeFazio and Ms. Titus and referred to the Committee on

                Safe Aircraft Maintenance Standards Act


                         H.R. 5119 (H.R. 5096)

To amend title 49, United States Code, to require certain air 
carriers to provide reports with respect to maintenance, 
preventive maintenance, or alterations, and for other purposes.

Summary

    H.R. 5119 establishes one level of safety between airline 
maintenance performed in the United States and that performed 
on U.S. airlines' fleets in foreign countries. Some 950 
aeronautical repair stations outside the United States hold 
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certificates under 14 
C.F.R. part 145, yet these facilities are not subject to the 
same safety standards that apply to domestic repair stations. 
For example, workers who perform safety-sensitive functions at 
U.S. repair stations are subject to compulsory screening for 
substance abuse; however, the same requirement does not apply 
to their counterparts at foreign facilities. Workers at U.S. 
repair stations are subject to compulsory background 
investigations; yet the same requirement does not apply to 
their counterparts overseas.
    This disparity between safety standards at U.S. and foreign 
repair stations that hold FAA certificates comes at a time when 
airlines' spending on contract maintenance and repair services 
nearly tripled between 1996 and 2011, according to the 
Department of Transportation Inspector General (DOT IG), rising 
from $1.5 billion in 1996 to $4.2 billion in 2011. Today, 
``[i]t is estimated that nearly 50 percent by dollar volume of 
maintenance work done by operators of U.S. registered aircraft 
is done in . . . FAA certified repair facilities located 
outside'' the United States, according to the Transport Workers 
Union. However, in 2013, the DOT IG found that the FAA's repair 
station oversight ``lacks the rigor needed to identify 
deficiencies and verify that they have been addressed'' and 
that ``some repair stations may not be operating in full 
compliance'' with FAA rules. Additionally, the Committee is 
aware that safety-sensitive workers at foreign repair stations 
may not be appropriately qualified or positioned to perform 
their functions; for example, the Committee has received 
reports that employees responsible for certifying that aircraft 
are fit for return to revenue service have made those 
certifications without having personally observed or inspected 
maintenance work on those aircraft--and in some cases have made 
the certifications from outside the countries where the work 
was actually performed.
    For years, Congress has pressed the FAA to move quickly to 
reduce the great disparity between safety requirements for U.S. 
and foreign repair stations, including mandating drug and 
alcohol testing and pre-employment background investigations of 
foreign repair station employees who perform safety-sensitive 
functions. Even with clear Congressional direction, the FAA has 
failed to satisfy either mandate, which would assure the flying 
public that the personnel performing critical maintenance on 
U.S.-operated aircraft have been adequately screened. These, 
among other measures, would help ensure that foreign repair 
stations follow the same safety standards that the FAA requires 
of maintenance work done in the United States.

Safe, Accountable, Fair, and Environmentally Responsible Pipelines Act 
                                of 2019


                      SAFER Pipelines Act of 2019


                               H.R. 5120

To amend title 49, United States Code, to provide enhanced 
safety and environmental protection in pipeline transportation, 
and for other purposes.

Summary

    The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration 
(PHMSA) was established by the Norman Y. Mineta Research and 
Special Programs Improvement Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-426). 
Prior to enactment of the 2004 Act, the Department of 
Transportation's (DOT) Research and Special Programs 
Administration handled pipeline and hazardous materials safety. 
PHMSA's pipeline safety program oversees the safety, 
reliability, and environmentally-sound operation of the 
nation's 2.6 million miles of gas and hazardous liquid pipeline 
transportation system.
    The last reauthorization of PHMSA's pipeline safety 
programs was the Protecting our Infrastructure of Pipelines and 
Enhancing Safety Act of 2016 (PIPES Act of 2016) (Pub. L. 114-
183), which was enacted on June 22, 2016, and expired on 
September 30, 2019. H.R. 5120 reauthorizes appropriations for 
pipeline safety activities through Fiscal Year 2023, while 
taking numerous steps to address pipeline safety and climate 
change.
    This measure aims to improve pipeline safety, reduce 
methane emissions, prevent and repair pipeline leaks, and hold 
pipeline operators accountable for reckless actions. The 
legislation requires operators of gas pipeline facilities to 
use advanced leak detection technology and the best available 
technology for capturing methane emitted during routine 
operations and maintenance and requires such operators to 
repair large leaks. It also codifies a 2016 Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) final rule that set limitations on 
methane emissions across the natural gas and hazardous liquid 
pipeline sector. The bill further mandates a final rule to 
regulate gas gathering lines, including in rural areas, and 
strengthens civil and criminal penalties to help PHMSA hold 
pipeline operators accountable for violations of pipeline 
safety laws and regulations.
    H.R. 5120 also responds to recommendations by the National 
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) following its investigation 
into several devastating pipeline incidents, such as the 2010 
Pacific Gas and Electric natural gas transmission pipeline 
rupture and fire in San Bruno, California; the 2010 Enbridge 
hazardous liquid pipeline rupture and release in Marshall, 
Michigan; and the 2018 Columbia Gas over-pressurization of its 
natural gas distribution system in Merrimack Valley, 
Massachusetts; among a series of other serious incidents. These 
include provisions calling for new regulations that: require 
all transmission pipelines located in high-consequence areas to 
have automatic or remote-controlled shut-off valves; require 
pipeline cracks to be repaired when the pipelines are located 
in high-consequence areas; and require information about 
distribution systems that could lead to a point of failure to 
be included in the National Pipeline Mapping System.

                   H. Con. Res. 37 (S. Con. Res. 15)

Expressing support for designation of October 28 as ``Honoring 
the Nation's First Responders Day''.

Summary

    H. Con. Res. 37 expresses support to designate October 28th 
as ``Honoring the Nation's First Responders Day. Dedicated 
first responders across our Nation put the safety and well-
being of their communities above their own. First responders 
have a life expectancy 20 years less than the average American, 
between 20 and 25 percent of first responders experience post-
traumatic stress, and first responders suffer death by suicide 
at a higher rate than death in the line of duty. According to 
the Department of Homeland Security, there are an estimated 4.6 
million career and volunteer professionals composing the first 
responder community. These professionals fall within five 
primary disciplines, including Law Enforcement, Fire and Rescue 
Services, Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Management, and 
Public Works. These men and women train, plan, and respond each 
day, often risking their lives, to save others. When major 
disaster strikes, such as the terrorist attacks on September 
11, 2001, they rush into danger to respond. Recognizing the 
sacrifice these professionals make is important to the Nation.

Summary

    H. Con. Res. 90 authorizes of the Capitol Grounds for the 
National Peace Officers Memorial Service and the National Honor 
Guard and Pipe Band Exhibition.
    In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation 
which designated May 15th as ``Peace Officers'' Memorial Day'' 
and the week in which that date falls as ``Police Week.'' 
Today, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from 
around the world come to Washington, D.C. to participate in 
events during that week to honor the men and woman of law 
enforcement who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
    Among the events during ``Police Week'' are the National 
Peace Officers' Memorial Service and the National Honor Guard 
and Pipe Band Exhibition.
    The resolution authorizes the Grand Lodge of the Fraternal 
Order of Police to sponsor a public event on May 15, 2020, the 
39th Annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service on the 
Capitol Grounds, in order to honor the law enforcement officers 
who died in the line of duty. More than 300 fallen federal, 
state, and local law enforcement officers will be honored 
during the ceremony for their sacrifice. The fallen officers 
that will be honored in 2020 include 135 killed in the line of 
duty in 2019 and 172 officers who died in prior years that were 
not previously honored.
    In addition, the resolution authorizes the Fraternal Order 
of Police National Honor Guard and Pipe Band Exhibition to 
utilize the area surrounding the Grant Statue on the East side 
of the Capitol Reflection Pool on May 14, 2020, to provide for

        recognized.

        be equal for the majority party and minority party and 
        may not exceed one hour in the aggregate.
          (3) Extended questioning of witnesses by staff.--The 
        Chair of the Committee or a subcommittee, with the 
        concurrence of the ranking minority member, or the

        members to question a witness for equal specified

        under this subdivision shall be equal for the majority 
        party and minority party and may not exceed one hour in

        questioning.--Nothing in subparagraph (2) or (3) 
        affects the right of a member (other than a member 
        designated under subparagraph (2)) to question a 
        witness for 5 minutes in accordance with subparagraph 
        (1)(B) after the questioning permitted under 
        subparagraph (2) or (3).

                      APPENDIX II--OVERSIGHT PLAN

    In accordance with Rule XI, clause 1(2)(d)(1) which 
requires each Committee to submit to the House of 
Representatives not later than January 2, of each odd-numbered 
year, a report on the activities of that committee under Rule X 
and Rule XI during the Congress ending on January 3 of such 
year. Clause 1(2)(d)(3) of Rule XI also requires that such 
report include a summary of the action taken and 
recommendations made with respect to each such plan; and a 
summary of any additional oversight activities undertaken by 
the Committee, and any recommendations made or actions taken 
thereon.
    Part A of this section contains the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure Oversight Plan for the 116th 
Congress which the Full Committee considered and adopted by 
voice vote on February 7, 2019, a quorum being present.
    Part B of this section contains a summary of the actions 
taken by the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure to 
implement the Oversight Plan for the 116th Congress and the 
recommendations made with respect to this plan. Part B also

undertaken by the Committee, and the recommendations made or 
actions taken thereon.

                                 PART A

OVERSIGHT PLAN FOR THE COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE--
                             116TH CONGRESS

    In accordance with Rule X of the House of Representatives, 
the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure is 
responsible for determining whether laws and programs within 
its jurisdiction are being implemented according to 
Congressional intent and whether they should be continued, 
changed, or eliminated. In the 116th Congress, the Committee 
will review the activities of government agencies and entities 
within its jurisdiction and the public and private interests 
they affect or regulate. As appropriate, the Committee will 
investigate options to improve the overall performance and 
operation of the agencies and entities it oversees, promote 
reform and cost savings, and eliminate fraud, wasteful 
spending, abuse, and mismanagement where possible. The 
Committee will also evaluate the administration's yearly budget 
requests with respect to programs and activities within the 
Committee's jurisdiction. In all of its oversight activities, 
the Committee will be guided by reference to the public 
interest and will ensure that the agencies under its 
jurisdiction remain accountable to the people of the United 
States.
    The oversight and investigation functions are vested at the 
Full Committee level. Oversight and investigation activities 
will be coordinated between the Full Committee and the 
Subcommittees. This structure will facilitate oversight of 
issues that cut across the jurisdiction of several 
Subcommittees. The Committee will continue to exercise its 
oversight duties through its own staff, as well as through work 
performed at the Committee's request by the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) and the various Inspectors General 
(IG) within their respective agencies and departments. 
Oversight activities will include hearings, briefings, 
correspondence, reports, media releases, and public statements.
    The GAO provides Congress a biennial update on high-risk 
programs, which are Federal programs and operations that the 
GAO considers to be at high risk for waste, fraud, abuse, 
mismanagement, or in need of broad reform. Consistent with the 
Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee will hold 
hearings on the programs within the Committee's jurisdiction on 
GAO's ``high-risk'' list. The rules also require the Committee 
to hold at least one hearing every 120 days on ``waste, fraud, 
abuse, or mismanagement in Government programs which that 
committee may authorize.'' These hearings will focus on ``the 
most egregious instances of waste, fraud, abuse, or 
mismanagement,'' as documented by any report that the Committee 
has received from an IG or GAO. Finally, the Committee will 
hold hearings if any agency has received disclaimers on its 
agency financial statements.

and time-sensitive reforms, several of which the FAA has yet to 
implement. The Subcommittee will continue to closely oversee 
the FAA's efforts to implement the remaining mandates contained 
in the Act.

   3. Implementation of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012

    The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (P.L. 112-95; 
FMRA) was signed into law on February 14, 2012. This Act 
reformed and revised FAA safety programs, air traffic control 
modernization efforts, and operations of the FAA. The 
Subcommittee will continue to closely oversee the FAA's efforts 
to implement the remaining mandates contained in the FMRA.

                           4. Safety Programs

    During the last several Congresses, the Subcommittee held 
numerous safety hearings and will continue its oversight in the 
116th Congress. Maintaining a safe and efficient aviation 
system is critical to the aviation industry, passengers, and 
the U.S. economy, including job creation and U.S. 
competitiveness in the global marketplace. Issues to be 
addressed include: commercial airline safety, general aviation 
safety, repair stations, the FAA's drug and alcohol and medical 
testing programs, key safety agreements, the safe integration 
of UAS and urban air mobility concepts, commercial space 
transportation safety, pilot and controller training, airport 
and runway safety, losses of separation between aircraft, the 
FAA's enforcement and certification activities, the 
transportation of hazardous materials and dangerous goods, and 
the FAA's voluntary reporting and data-sharing and assessment 
programs.

                5. Investment in Aviation Infrastructure

    America's airports are part of a global aviation system, 
and as such they must remain safe and efficient in order to 
compete as global hubs of air commerce. Over the next five 
years, the FAA estimates a need for $35.1 billion in projects 
eligible for Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants--an 
increase of seven percent (or $2.4 billion) since the agency's 
2016 estimate. Congress has authorized $3.35 billion in annual 
AIP funding since fiscal year 2012. The FAARA extended that 
same authorization level through fiscal year 2023, meaning the 
program will not have received additional funding for 12 years. 
AIP grants meet approximately half of the FAA's identified 
airport development needs. The statutorily-authorized passenger 
facility charge (PFC) is a user fee that an airport sponsor, 
subject to FAA-approval, may choose to levy on most enplaned 
passengers. PFCs generated an additional $3.28 billion for 
airport development in 2017. The PFC has been capped at $4.50 
per segment and $18 per round trip since 2000. Given that 
airports have capital needs and debt servicing costs beyond 
those identified by the FAA, airports must supplement their AIP 
grants and PFC receipts through other sources of revenue or 
financing. The Subcommittee will conduct oversight regarding 
airport financing and the FAA's administration of the AIP, and 
will explore legislative options for increasing financial 
investment in U.S. airport infrastructure, including possible 
adjustments to the PFC.

    6. Airline Competition, Financial Position, and Customer Service

    The aviation marketplace has gone through many changes, 
including a period of consolidation resulting in the four 
largest U.S. carriers representing more than two-thirds of the 
total U.S. domestic market. The Office of the Secretary within 
the DOT is responsible for economic oversight of the airline 
industry, including ensuring that air carriers do not engage in 
unfair and deceptive practices and that certain business 
agreements among air carriers do not result in harmful effects. 
The Subcommittee will continue to examine opportunities to 
improve the airline industry's competitiveness, review recently 
established regulations to ensure the aviation system remains 
safe and accessible to the traveling public, and provide 
oversight of Congressionally-mandated consumer protections for 
airline passengers.

                       7. U.S. Aviation Workforce

    The U.S. aviation industry has identified projected 
workforce shortages and experienced difficulties in recruiting 
the next generation of aviation workers, including pilots, 
flight attendants, maintenance technicians, and other aviation 
professions. To ensure the U.S. remains competitive globally, 
the Subcommittee will monitor the levels and anticipated levels 
of employment in the aviation sector and explore ways to 
encourage or facilitate the recruitment, development, 
maintenance, and diversification of the U.S. aviation 
workforce, while maintaining or improving aviation safety.

             8. Oversight of the Commercial Space Industry

    The mission of the FAA's Office of Commercial Space 
Transportation is to ensure protection of the public, property, 
and the national security and foreign policy interests of the 
U.S. during commercial launch or reentry activities, and to 
encourage, facilitate, and promote U.S. commercial space 
transportation. The Subcommittee will continue to monitor the 
status and future of the U.S. commercial space transportation 
industry, efforts by the National Space Council to streamline 
and reform current commercial space regulations, and the role 
of the FAA in providing safety oversight of the industry.

    9. Evaluation of FAA's Nextgen Air Traffic Control Modernization

    The FAA is working to modernize the air traffic control 
system through implementation of the Next Generation Air 
Transportation System (NextGen). NextGen is intended to 
increase airspace system efficiency; reduce noise exposure, 
emissions, and fuel burn; improve safety; increase accuracy and 
reliability in equipment and software used for navigation and 
air traffic control; and maintain the capacity for future 
technology enhancements. As the FAA works to implement NextGen, 
the Subcommittee will continue to closely monitor and examine 
the FAA's efforts to implement NextGen, including efforts to 
establish performance metrics, meet deadlines, stay within 
budget, ensure an appropriate level of aircraft equipage with 
NextGen avionics, and pursue solutions to identified 
challenges.

           10. Cybersecurity of the National Airspace System

    The FAA's modernization of air traffic control technology 
and the aviation industry's increasing use of innovative new 
technologies in its aircraft fleet necessitates robust aviation 
cybersecurity efforts. Ensuring the cybersecurity of aviation 
systems is of critical importance to the safety of aircraft. 
The FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016 directed 
the FAA to implement a strategic framework for cybersecurity 
and the FAARA requires the FAA to review and assess, and update 
as appropriate, this strategic framework. The Subcommittee will 
continue its oversight of the cybersecurity activities of the 
FAA and other relevant stakeholders to ensure appropriate steps 
are being taken to address cyber-threats, to confirm the FAA's 
strategic framework for cybersecurity is effectively employed, 
and to ensure that the supremacy of the FAA in aviation safety 
matters is maintained.

11. Oversight of Implementation and Deployment of Counter-UAS Authority

    Congress authorized the Department of Defense and 
Department of Energy to operate counter-UAS equipment to 
detect, interdict, or neutralize UAS that pose a threat to the 
safety or security of certain facilities and assets in the U.S. 
in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal 
Year 2017 (P.L. 114-328) and the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2018 
(P.L. 115-91). The FAARA granted similar authority to the 
Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and 
U.S. Coast Guard to deploy counter-UAS equipment to protect 
critical assets and facilities within the agencies' purview. 
The introduction of systems originally designed for use in 
combat areas into the National Airspace System poses unique 
safety challenges, particularly in complex or crowded airspace. 
The Subcommittee will closely oversee the agencies' 
implementation of their respective counter-UAS authorities to 
ensure close and continued coordination with the FAA to reduce 
impacts on U.S. airspace and to ensure the safety of civil 
aviation.

                12. National Transportation Safety Board

    The FAARA also authorizes National Transportation Safety 
Board programs through fiscal year 2022. The bill includes, 
among other things, provisions aimed at improving transparency 
of the Board's investigations and enhancing public 
understanding of the Board's safety recommendations. The 
Subcommittee will closely oversee the Board's efforts to 
implement the provisions of the FAARA and evaluate whether the 
changes to the Board's programs and practices achieve their 
intended objectives.

        Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation

                      1. Maritime Budget Oversight

    The Subcommittee has broad authority over the programs and 
activities of the U.S. Coast Guard codified under titles 14 and 
46 United States Code, and other statutes. The Frank LoBiondo 
Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-282) authorized 
discretionary Coast Guard funding levels of $10.06 billion in 
fiscal year 2018 and $10.64 billion in fiscal year 2019. For 
fiscal year 2019, funding for the Coast Guard Reserve and the 
Coast Guard's environmental compliance and restoration 
activities were consolidated within the overall operations 
account to conform to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 
budget requirements.
    The Subcommittee also has jurisdiction also over the 
Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) and the non-defense programs 
of the Maritime Administration (MARAD). The FMC is responsible 
for the economic regulation of U.S. waterborne foreign commerce 
and unfair shipping practices. The MARAD oversees several 
programs related to defense readiness, as well as programs 
designed to promote and develop the domestic merchant marine 
and shipbuilding industries. Title VII of P.L. 115-282 
authorized funding for the FMC of $28.01 million in fiscal year 
2018 and $28.54 million in fiscal year 2019. Regarding 
authorized funding for the MARAD, subtitle A of title XXXV of 
the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2019 (P.L. 115-282) provided $840.2 million for 
fiscal year 2019 to support all the MARAD's activities, 
including $300 million for the program to recapitalize the 
fleet of state maritime academy training vessels.
    In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee will hold hearings 
on the President's fiscal year 2020 and 2021 budget requests 
and consider legislation to authorize the Coast Guard for 
fiscal years 2020 and 2021. The Subcommittee will continue its 
efforts to explore options to improve Coast Guard operations, 
to address the estimated $2.6 billion backlog in Coast Guard 
unmet needs for shore side infrastructure and deferred 
maintenance, and make improvements to laws governing maritime 
transportation and the U.S. merchant marine. In addition, the 
Subcommittee will continue to conduct oversight of the 
functions and activities of the FMC and the MARAD, especially 
the FMC's implementation of amendments to the Shipping Act 
contained in title VII of P.L. 115-282, and the MARAD's 
activities to promote job growth in the maritime and 
shipbuilding sectors and expansion in the U.S. flag fleet.

                      2. Coast Guard Acquisitions

    The Coast Guard is currently undergoing a major 
recapitalization of its oceangoing assets. The recapitalization 
will replace or modernize more than 90 ships and 200 aircraft 
used to carry out the Service's missions beyond near coastal 
waters. It will also replace antiquated command, control, and 
communications systems. The program continues to face serious 
challenges related to schedule and budget, although recent 
appropriations bills have provided additional resources. The 
longer these acquisition programs drag out, the longer existing 
legacy assets must remain in service. In many cases, these 
assets are at or well beyond their projected service lives and 
are increasingly more difficult and expensive to maintain. The 
Subcommittee is concerned that delays in new asset acquisition, 
competing demands from shore side infrastructure and other 
Coast Guard cutter capital needs--including recapitalization of 
the Service's polar icebreaker fleet, and the cost of legacy 
asset maintenance--threaten the ability of the Service to 
complete this recapitalization and avoid serious gaps in 
readiness and operational capability.
    In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee will continue to 
review closely the ongoing programs of record, especially the 
status of the $12.1 billion Offshore Patrol Cutter 
acquisition--the most expensive segment. Notably, the 
Subcommittee will examine what, if any, impact the substantial 
damage to facilities at Eastern Shipbuilding caused by 
Hurricane Michael when it made landfall at Panama City, 
Florida, in October 2018, might have on the planned delivery 
schedule of the lead ship. In addition, the Subcommittee will 
consider what changes to these programs may be needed to ensure 
that the men and women of the Coast Guard have the best 
equipment possible at the best value for the taxpayer.
    The Subcommittee will also examine how to meet the Coast 
Guard's operating needs for which no program of record yet 
exists.

                               3. Arctic

    The U.S. Arctic, as defined in statute, include the U.S. 
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) north of the Aleutian Islands. 
Three Arctic seas--the Bering, the Chukchi, and the Beaufort--
border Alaska. Historically, these seas have been frozen and 
non-navigable for more than half the year. The U.S. Arctic 
contains 568,000 square nautical miles (SNM) for which less 
than half is considered ``navigationally significant.'' Vessel 
traffic between the North Atlantic and the North Pacific 
through the Arctic requires transit through the Bering Strait, 
located along the U.S. boundary with Russia. The Coast Guard 
has been gathering data on vessel transits in the U.S. Arctic 
since 2008, and the Service uses the annual transit count as a 
general indicator of Arctic vessel activity. In the past 
decade, the overall trend is towards increasing maritime 
activity. While all areas of the Arctic are seeing increased 
vessel activity, the Northern Sea Route along the Eurasian 
Arctic coast continues to account for the bulk of Arctic 
shipping activity.
    While U.S. agencies have a physical presence and 
substantial interests in the Arctic, the Coast Guard's 
experience, material assets, and installations located 
throughout Alaska, establish it as a key maritime operational 
presence in the U.S. Arctic. However, with no assets 
permanently stationed in the Arctic, the Service must operate 
seasonally, usually by employing mobile command and control 
platforms and establishing seasonal air and communications 
capabilities by deploying and/or leasing assets and facilities. 
The Homeland Security Operational Analysis Center views this 
strategy as inadequate. The Center identified four major gaps 
in Coast Guard Arctic Capabilities, including unreliable 
communications, lack of adequate maritime domain awareness, 
scarcity of available assets and supporting infrastructure, and 
institutional difficulty to identify, articulate, and close 
capability gaps.
    The Subcommittee remains concerned that the Coast Guard is 
ill prepared to cope with current operational demands in the 
Arctic, let alone react quickly should operational activities 
in the region need to surge suddenly or if warming accelerates 
at a rate more rapid than climate model projections. In the 
116th Congress, the Subcommittee will continue its oversight of 
maritime transportation related activities and challenges in 
the evolving Arctic maritime environment; assess the practical 
implications for U.S. security, maritime, and geopolitical 
interests; and review the Coast Guard's 2018-2022 Strategic 
Plan, and the Service's Arctic Strategy, to determine if the 
potential for greater Arctic activity has been given 
appropriate consideration.

               4. Coast Guard Mission Balance/Performance

    The Subcommittee continues to have concerns regarding the 
Coast Guard's ability to carry out its traditional 
transportation-related missions, including marine safety; 
search and rescue; aids to navigation; living marine resources; 
marine environmental protection; and ice operations. Since 
September 11, 2001, significant additional resources have gone 
to the Service's homeland security activities, including ports, 
waterways, and coastal security; drug interdiction; migrant 
interdiction; defense readiness; and other law enforcement. 
Traditional transportation related missions, though they have 
grown as maritime commerce has grown, have not fared as well 
and have been under-resourced. Resources and man-hours devoted 
to these missions remain well below pre-September 11, 2001, 
funding levels, and in the case of marine safety, lack of 
funding has substantially reduced the Service's core 
competence.
    In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee will continue its 
oversight of Coast Guard mission balance to ensure the Service 
qualitatively and quantitatively reviews its many missions; 
establishes and justifies performance measures; identifies and 
responds to exigencies that divert resources among missions; 
and plans how best to allocate limited resources appropriately 
among its many missions.

                      5. Maritime Domain Awareness

    The effort to know what is happening at all times on the 
ocean, coastal and interior waters of the United States, and 
aboard the vessels that transit in or through waters under U.S. 
jurisdiction, is referred to as Maritime Domain Awareness 
(MDA). The successful gathering, interpretation, and 
distribution of MDA data is critical to promote and ensure 
maritime safety, homeland security, and the efficiency and 
reliability of the U.S. maritime supply chain.
    The Coast Guard relies on several new and developing 
technologies to acquire, manage, and disseminate interoperable 
MDA information. The Subcommittee remains concerned with the 
Coast Guard's apparent inability to assess, or disinterest in, 
new technologies, such as unmanned autonomous aerial and 
underwater vehicles, in order to acquire MDA information in a 
more cost-effective manner with greater accuracy and 
efficiency. As such, in the 115th Congress the Subcommittee 
passed legislation directing the Coast Guard to establish a 
Blue Technology Center of Expertise (title III of P.L. 115-265) 
to promote awareness within the Coast Guard of the range and 
diversity of Blue Technologies and their potential to enhance 
Coast Guard mission readiness, operational performance, and 
regulation of such technologies. Additionally, Congress 
directed the Coast Guard in the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard 
Authorization Act of 2018 (section 812, P.L. 115-282) to enter 
into an agreement with the National Academy of Sciences to 
complete an assessment of available unmanned, autonomous, or 
remotely controlled maritime domain awareness technologies for 
use by the Coast Guard.
    In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee will continue its 
oversight of the Service's ongoing efforts to assess, develop, 
and implement new MDA technologies, including the Service's 
progress in implementing the two new MDA initiatives passed by 
the 115th Congress. The Subcommittee will continue its 
oversight to ensure that Coast Guard operations utilize the 
best available MDA information, and that MDA data are gathered 
in a timely, reliable manner, to provide a high return on 
investment for the taxpayer and maritime stakeholders.

           6. Coast Guard Prevention and Response Activities

    The Coast Guard plays major roles in response to oil spills 
and natural disasters such as hurricanes and flood events. The 
Service was the federal On-Scene Coordinator and National 
Incident Commander for the 2010 DEEPWATER HORIZON spill in the 
Gulf of Mexico. The Coast Guard was a first responder to 
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which devastated New Orleans and 
the Mississippi River Delta in 2005. In addition, in 2016 the 
Coast Guard responded to severe flood events in Louisiana and 
North Carolina, and more recently in 2017 the Coast Guard 
responded to a series of three devastating hurricanes (Harvey, 
Irma, and Maria) that ravaged portions of the Southeast United 
States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
    In addition, the Coast Guard enforces domestically the 
implementation of the National Invasive Species Act, and 
internationally, U.S. compliance with a convention to prevent 
vessels from dumping invasive species inadvertently into U.S. 
waters through the discharge of ballast water. Due to a 2008 
federal court decision, discharge of ballast water and other 
``discharges incidental to the normal operation of vessels'' 
such as bilge water, deck wash, and air conditioning 
condensate, are now regulated under the Clean Water Act (CWA) 
by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Title IX of P.L. 
115-282 amended the CWA to establish a new comprehensive 
authority to allow both the EPA and the Coast Guard to regulate 
vessel discharges, finally providing a uniform national 
standard for ballast water discharges in U.S. waters, including 
the Great Lakes.
    In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee will conduct 
oversight on the Coast Guard's crisis prevention and response 
capabilities. Oil spills, natural disasters, and mass migration 
events each can over-extend the Coast Guard's prevention and 
response capabilities. The Subcommittee will conduct oversight 
on Coast Guard prevention and response programs, including its 
existing regulations authorizing the use of Alternative 
Planning Criteria and adequacy and availability of response 
assets identified in vessel response plans. The Subcommittee 
also will work with the Water Resources and Environment 
Subcommittee to conduct oversight of the EPA's and the Coast 
Guard's implementation of the new vessel discharge authority. 
Moreover, the Subcommittee will work to determine if existing 
response vessel requirements included in vessel response plans 
are sufficient to meet all contingencies, or whether there is a 
need for further revisions to tighten requirements to protect 
the marine environment.

                         7. Short Sea Shipping

    Short sea shipping is the waterborne movement of commercial 
freight between two ports in the U.S. or between ports in the 
U.S. and Canada. At present, the most highly developed water 
freight transportation systems in the U.S. operate on the 
Mississippi River, the Great Lakes, and along the international 
St. Lawrence Seaway, most often carrying agricultural products 
and other raw bulk materials. However, the MARAD has found 
these routes are under-utilized and carry approximately 13 
percent of total freight tonnage in the U.S. By comparison, 
nearly 70 percent of freight tonnage transported in the U.S. 
travels across roadways. To promote short sea shipping in the 
U.S., the Congress established the Marine Highway Program, 
Chapter 556 of title 46, United States Code.
    The Subcommittee continues to recognize that revitalization 
of our marine highways has the potential to reduce congestion 
on our highways, improve air quality, and create new maritime 
industry jobs for Americans. Section 405 of the Coast Guard and 
Maritime Transportation Act of 2012 (P.L. 112-213) expanded the 
scope of the program beyond reducing landside congestion to 
efforts that generate public benefits by increasing the 
utilization or efficiency of domestic freight or passenger 
transportation on Marine Highway Routes between U.S. ports. The 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (P.L. 
114-92) expanded the definition of short sea shipping to 
include additional discrete cargo types or freight vehicles 
carried aboard commuter ferries.
    The Subcommittee in the 116th Congress will examine 
potential options for addressing factors inhibiting the cost-
competitiveness and expanded use of short sea shipping in the 
United States. Further, the Subcommittee will evaluate how 
marine highways could stimulate job creation for maritime 
workers, both those who work on vessels or labor on the 
waterfront.

                8. Coast Guard Marine Safety Activities

    The Coast Guard's Marine Board of Inquiry report detailing 
the circumstances surrounding the October 1, 2015, sinking of 
the U.S. flag commercial vessel EL FARO was scathing in its 
criticism of the Coast Guard's failure to sustain its marine 
safety proficiencies and policy framework to guarantee the 
effectiveness of vessel inspections and surveys. Additionally, 
the report documented problems with the Alternative Compliance 
Program and the Service's growing reliance on the use of 
classification societies to maintain surveys and inspections of 
U.S. flag vessels. Congress enacted title II of S. 3508, the 
Hamm Alert Maritime Safety Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-265), to make 
several important maritime safety improvements. Provisions in 
the bill drew from three principal sources: recommendations 
contained in the Marine Board's report; recommendations 
contained in a separate corollary report prepared by the 
National Transportation Safety Board; and recommendations 
contained in the Final Action Memorandum (FAM) issued by then-
Commandant, Admiral Paul F. Zukunft.
    During the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee will conduct 
oversight of the Coast Guard to determine the progress made in 
implementing the Hamm Act and the recommendations contained in 
the FAM. Additionally, the Subcommittee will want to assess the 
Coast Guard's oversight of recognized organizations operating 
on behalf of the Coast Guard under the Alternate Compliance 
Program to determine if changes are required to ensure 
accountability, transparency, and effectiveness in the 
implementation and oversight of this delegated marine safety 
function.

                     9. National Maritime Strategy

    Section 603 of the Howard Coble Coast Guard and Maritime 
Transportation Act of 2014 (P.L. 114-120) directed the 
Secretary of Transportation, in consultation with the 
Commandant of the Coast Guard, to develop and transmit to 
Congress a National Maritime Strategy (Strategy) no later than 
60 days after the date of enactment. The law directed this 
comprehensive strategy to include recommendations to increase 
the competitiveness and use of U.S.-flag vessels in the U.S. 
foreign trade; enhance shipbuilding; ensure federal agency 
compliance with cargo preference requirements; and increase the 
use of short sea shipping in the United States. Congress is 
still waiting to receive the Strategy. Per section 3513 of 
subtitle A of title XXXV of P.L. 115-232, February 13, 2020, is 
now the new deadline to submit a Strategy to Congress.
    The Subcommittee in the 116th Congress will continue its 
oversight of the MARAD and other agencies within the Committee 
on the Marine Transportation System (established under 46 
U.S.C. chapter 555), to ascertain the status of the 
administration's development of a National Maritime Strategy. 
In addition, the Subcommittee will seek to determine the 
administration's timeline for completion. Moreover, the 
Subcommittee will assess whether this strategy will promote and 
expand economic opportunities for U.S.-flag carriers and 
related marine industries and sustain a stable pool of U.S. 
merchant mariners.

                 10. Status of the U.S. Merchant Marine

    The Subcommittee remains concerned with the downward trend 
in the number of licensed and unlicensed U.S. mariners and a 
potential spike in attrition when many seafarers soon reach 
retirement age. The recruitment, training, and retention of 
credentialed U.S. mariners is necessary to not only maintain a 
U.S. flag presence on the high seas and in the U.S. domestic 
coastwise trade, but also to maintain a sufficient number of 
seafarers to operate vessels deployed for military sealift 
during times of national emergency.
    In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee will continue its 
oversight of the issues involved in the current estimated 
deficit of 1,800 licensed merchant mariners and explore 
potential options to expand the U.S. maritime workforce. The 
Subcommittee will also look at credentialing requirements for 
U.S. seafarers, including recent Coast Guard enforcement of 
mariner credential requirements for non-maritime, industrial 
workers on vessels. Furthermore, the Subcommittee will continue 
its oversight of the Administration's Military to Mariner 
initiative to assess progress in building viable pathways for 
separating service members within the commercial maritime 
industry.

 Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency 
                               Management

                        1. Emergency Management

    The Subcommittee will continue to examine and evaluate the 
Nation's ability to prevent, prepare for, mitigate against, 
respond to, and recover from disasters and emergencies of all 
types including terrorism. In the 116th Congress, continued 
oversight will be needed as states continue to be affected by 
and recover from prior disasters. In addition, the Subcommittee 
will continue its oversight of the Federal Emergency Management 
Agency's (FEMA's) implementation of reforms and additional 
authorities under the Disaster Recovery Reform Act (Division D 
of P.L. 115-254), the Sandy Recovery Improvement Act of 2013 
(P.L. 113-2), and the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform 
Act of 2006 (P.L. 109-295).
    The Subcommittee intends to continue its comprehensive 
review and assessment of how federal disaster assistance has 
evolved over the past several decades and its continued 
effectiveness. The purpose is to examine how to make the U.S. 
more resilient to future disasters in consideration of the 
changing climate, which agencies provide assistance and how 
that money is spent, what guidance or controls are in place for 
the effective use of assistance, and the appropriate role for 
federal, state, tribal, and local governments. The Subcommittee 
will also examine FEMA's roles and authorities related to 
earthquake hazards to ensure that the U.S. is prepared for the 
risks that it faces.

                           2. Border Security

    During the 114th Congress, the Subcommittee conducted 
oversight of land ports of entry (LPOEs) construction and the 
implementation of a Public Private Partnership program created 
as part of the Fiscal Year 2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act 
(P.L. 113-76). Additional legislation was moved to make changes 
and modifications of that program in the 114th Congress. The 
Subcommittee will continue its oversight of LPOE construction 
projects, the implementation of the Public Private Partnership 
program and examine additional ways in which private dollars 
could be leveraged.

                               3. Leasing

    During the 114th and 115th Congresses, the Subcommittee 
held hearings and roundtables identifying the large number of 
General Services Administration (GSA) leases expiring in the 
next five years and examining the GSA's process for addressing 
them. The GSA currently leases 195 million rentable square 
feet--more than half of the GSA's total space inventory. The 
cost of leasing space accounts for more than half of the GSA's 
Federal Buildings Fund (FBF) annual expenses, totaling more 
than $5.4 billion annually. Over the next five years, more than 
50% of the GSA's leased space will expire, creating an 
opportunity to significantly reduce leasing costs to the 
taxpayer. The Subcommittee will continue its oversight of GSA 
leasing and how it manages the replacement of expiring leases 
with good deals for the taxpayer.
    In the 114th Congress, the Subcommittee conducted oversight 
by requesting a GAO review of agencies with independent leasing 
authorities and holding a hearing focusing on how agencies with 
such authorities were managing them. In addition, questions 
about how the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has used its 
leasing authority resulted in the VA procurement of leases for 
its outpatient clinics and centers through the GSA's leasing 
authorities. In addition, other agencies with independent 
leasing authorities have been found to have exceeded the 
limitations of such authorities resulting in potential 
violations of the Anti-Deficiency Act (ADA). Because of these 
ongoing issues surrounding independent leasing authorities, the 
Subcommittee will continue its oversight of leases and the use 
of leasing authorities outside of the GSA.

                      4. Real Property Management

    The management of federal real property has been on the 
GAO's ``High Risk'' list since 2003 due to a number of 
mismanagement issues including the overreliance on costly 
leasing to meet long-term space needs and underused or vacant 
space. In addition, with nearly half of the GSA's assets over 
50 years old, the GSA has faced challenges maintaining a 
balanced inventory, draining federal resources and costing more 
to maintain old buildings that are often inefficient. While 
commercial leasing may be advisable in many cases, the GSA is 
often driven to costly operating leases when ownership may be 
less costly to the taxpayer. The Office of Management and 
Budget's (OMB's) budget scorekeeping rules are key drivers on 
``own versus lease'' asset decision-making. Current budget 
scorekeeping rules generally leave the GSA with only two 
options for meeting the federal government's general purpose 
space needs: direct appropriations for new construction or 
long-term leases.
    During the 114th and 115th Congresses, the Subcommittee 
held roundtables and hearings on how public-private 
partnerships could be used as alternative methods of financing 
space. In addition, the Committee established a public private 
partnership (P3) panel that explored the use of P3s across 
various types of infrastructure, including public buildings. 
The P3 Panel recommended, among other things: (1) review and 
modify budgetary scoring rules for commercially leased office 
space to enable operating lease treatment of long-term leases 
and fixed-priced, below market purchase options; and (2) fully 
utilize existing lease authorities and the OMB budgetary 
scoring procedures to proceed with long-term ground lease and 
lease back arrangements where the federal government retains 
ownership of leasehold improvements at the end of the ground-
lease term. P3s can be one of the tools used to improve the 
management of the Public Building Service real estate 
portfolio.
    In 2013, the OMB issued a directive to agencies called 
``Freeze the Footprint'' and later modified the directive in 
2015 to shrink the space footprint. That directive requires 
agencies to reduce their amount of office and warehouse space 
to FY2012 levels. The Subcommittee will continue to conduct 
investigations and oversight of the GSA's management of its 
real property portfolio and examine ways to ensure cost-
effective choices continue to be made. In addition, the 
Subcommittee will work to ensure the GSA maximizes the 
utilization of existing space, renegotiates existing leases to 
reduce costs, and sells under-used or vacant properties, which 
will generate revenue. Finally, the 114th Congress passed the 
Federal Assets Sale and Transfer Act of 2016 (FASTA; P.L. 114-
287) which established a new, centralized process for disposing 
of unneeded space in the federal real estate portfolio. The 
Subcommittee will work to ensure the GSA works closely with the 
Public Buildings Reform Board created by FASTA to help all 
other federal agencies develop a list of disposal 
recommendations, which could include the sale, transfer, 
conveyance, consolidation, or outlease of any unneeded space. 
The Subcommittee will also work to ensure other requirements 
included in FASTA are appropriately implemented.

            5. Capital Investment and Leasing Program (CILP)

    As part of the Committee's annual work to review and 
authorize the GSA's requests for authority to repair, alter, 
construct, and lease property for use by federal agencies, the 
Subcommittee will review each prospectus presented to the 
Committee and recommend approval only after the Subcommittee is 
satisfied that the requests are cost-effective and in the best 
interest of the federal government. The Subcommittee will work 
aggressively with the GSA and tenant agencies to shrink the 
space footprint where appropriate.

                         6. Federal Courthouses

    In June of 2010, the GAO issued a report on the federal 
courthouse program and found that of the 33 courthouses built 
since 2000, there was 3.56 million square feet of extra space, 
costing the taxpayer $835 million plus $51 million annually to 
operate and maintain. Since that time, the Judiciary has 
developed a new review process to identify the need for new 
courthouses. In 2013, the Committee requested the Judiciary 
apply the new process to the courthouses on its 5-Year 
Courthouse Plan. The Judiciary completed the process in late 
2014 and issued an updated Plan in 2015. The Judiciary received 
funding for courthouse construction for several projects in 
fiscal years 2018 and 2019. The Judiciary is also in the 
process of updating its Design Guide for courthouses which 
could impact the cost and size of courthouses. The Subcommittee 
will engage with the Judiciary during this process to ensure 
such updates are appropriate. The Subcommittee will also 
closely oversee the progress made on authorized courthouses to 
ensure they are constructed within the limitations placed upon 
them by the Committee, including courtroom sharing by judges 
and staying below or within budget.

                  7. Federal Protective Service (FPS)

    As a part of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-
296), the Federal Protective Service was transferred from the 
Public Buildings Service of the GSA to the Department of 
Homeland Security (DHS). However, responsibility for the 
protection of federal buildings generally remains with the FPS 
within the DHS. The Subcommittee will continue to monitor and 
review the policies, procedures, and requirements of security 
at public buildings. The Subcommittee will also continue to 
monitor the use of the FPS's law enforcement authority, 
including delegations of such authority to other agencies, to 
ensure resources are appropriately focused on securing federal 
buildings.

                     8. Major Development Projects

    The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) headquarters 
consolidation project was authorized in the 114th Congress. The 
Committee refused to provide the GSA and the FBI a blank check, 
but set clear limitations on costs and other parameters to 
ensure the project would meet the needs of the FBI, shrink its 
space by 33 percent, and minimize costs to the taxpayer. The 
project did not receive funding in the 115th Congress. 
Subsequently, a new strategy to demolish and rebuild the 
building at its current location in downtown Washington, D.C. 
was provided to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public 
Works, which was a departure from the original plan to locate 
the FBI headquarters in the Washington, D.C. suburbs. The 
Subcommittee plans to conduct oversight of the project to 
ensure it remains as cost efficient as possible, is located in 
a secure location, and results in a full consolidation of the 
FBI headquarters.
    The Subcommittee also plans to conduct close review and 
oversight of several other major development projects, 
including: (1) the development of the headquarters for the 
Department of Homeland Security on the St. Elizabeths campus; 
(2) redevelopment of the Department of Labor headquarters 
building, particularly examining how the GSA is utilizing its 
exchange authority in this context; and (3) the purchase of the 
Department of Transportation Headquarters building.

                      9. Architect of the Capitol

    The subcommittee will continue ongoing oversight of 
projects being undertaken by the Architect of the Capitol 
pursuant to the Master Plan for the Capitol Complex, including 
renovation of the Cannon House Office building. Consistent 
oversight will ensure proper prioritization and cost savings.

                 10. Smithsonian Institution Facilities

    The Subcommittee will continue its oversight of projects 
undertaken by the Smithsonian Institution, including the 
renovation, acquisition, construction, and use of local and 
remote museums, research, and storage facilities of the 
Institution. The Subcommittee will continue to oversee cost-
effective solutions to the Smithsonian's space needs such as 
leveraging private dollars and disposal or effective reuse of 
underused assets.

           11. John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

    As a part of its ongoing oversight of the Kennedy Center's 
programs, the Subcommittee will regularly review the 
construction, alteration, and modernization activities of the 
Kennedy Center that are conducted using federal funds to ensure 
appropriate management and cost savings.

                        12. Economic Development

    In the 115th Congress, the Subcommittee worked to 
reauthorize several of the economic development programs under 
its jurisdiction. For the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee will 
continue to work to reauthorize and enhance additional programs 
to ensure these programs are targeted, effective, and remain 
focused on their core missions. In addition, the Subcommittee 
will continue its oversight of the disaster relief funds 
appropriated for the Economic Development Administration 
programs to assist communities impacted by disasters recover.

                      13. Old Post Office Building

    The Subcommittee will examine how the GSA is addressing the 
management and administration of the Old Post Office (OPO) 
lease agreement with the Trump Old Post Office LLC in light of 
the 2016 presidential election. The lease agreement contains a 
clause that bars elected officials from being ``admitted to any 
share or part of this Lease, or to any benefit that may arise 
therefrom . . .''
    For the past two years, the Subcommittee has engaged with 
the GSA regarding how the agency addressed any potential 
conflicts of interest associated with the lease agreement given 
the election. These engagements with the GSA are ongoing and 
the Subcommittee will continue to seek substantive information 
regarding the lease agreement. The Subcommittee also plans to 
continue to investigate and report on the GSA's management and 
administration of the OPO lease agreement since the 
presidential election.

                  Subcommittee on Highways and Transit

     1. Surface Transportation Investment--Current and Future Needs

    Bringing the Nation's crumbling transportation 
infrastructure to a state of good repair, upgrading bridges, 
improving road quality, addressing capacity needs, and ensuring 
access to reliable transit options will require substantial 
investment. According to the Department of Transportation 
(DOT), we need to invest $1.7 trillion at all levels of 
government over the next 10 years to bring roads, bridges, and 
transit systems to a state of good repair and to expand 
capacity. At the same time, transportation investments made 
today must meet the needs of the future. This includes 
utilizing new technologies and incorporating innovative 
mobility solutions to move people and goods more safely and 
efficiently. This also includes building stronger, more 
resilient transportation networks to withstand rising sea 
levels, the changing climate, and seismic events; and reducing 
transportation greenhouse gas emissions. The Subcommittee will 
probe surface transportation investment needs and emerging 
policy areas in preparation for a long-term reauthorization 
bill.

          2. Sustainability of Surface Transportation Funding

    Federal highway, highway safety, and public transportation 
programs are funded through federal excise taxes levied on 
motor fuels and on various highway-related products such as 
tires and heavy trucks. Revenues from these user fees are 
deposited into the Highway Trust Fund (HTF) and may be used 
only for eligible transportation projects and activities. By 
fiscal year 2021, revenues credited to the Highway Account and 
Mass Transit Account of the HTF will be insufficient to meet 
its obligations, according to projections by the Congressional 
Budget Office. Congress has not raised the federal fuel tax in 
25 years, and improved vehicle fuel efficiency has further 
eroded federal revenues. Beginning in fiscal year 2008, this 
combination has led to a gap in the HTF between revenues and 
expenditures. As a result, Congress has transferred 
approximately $144 billion from the general fund of the 
Treasury and other sources into the HTF to maintain the 
solvency of the HTF. The Subcommittee will continue to monitor 
the status and solvency of the HTF, its ability to fund 
currently authorized programs and to meet future surface 
transportation investment needs, and examine other options to 
provide robust funding to meet future needs.

            3. Ensuring a Qualified Transportation Workforce

    The Subcommittee will examine workforce trends in the 
transportation and construction industries, as well as evaluate 
policies to invest in human capital through worker training and 
other programs within its jurisdiction to prepare the next 
generation of transportation workers. As more automation occurs 
in transportation, the Subcommittee will also monitor the 
potential impact on workers that will be affected.

 4. Restoring the Congressional Intent of the Capital Investment Grant 
                                Program

    The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act; 
P.L. 114-94) authorized $2.3 billion for each of fiscal years 
2016-2020 for the Capital Investment Grant (CIG) program. 
Recent presidential budget requests propose phasing out the CIG 
program. Congress has rejected these proposals by continuing to 
appropriate funding for the CIG program above the $2.3 billion 
authorized amount. In addition, concerns have been raised about 
the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) implementation of 
the CIG program. The Subcommittee will examine the FTA's 
implementation of the CIG program to ensure that it adheres to 
Congressional intent and examine concerns raised about that 
implementation, including administrative delays and related 
cost escalations.

                       5. Motor Carrier Oversight

    The Subcommittee will monitor prominent motor carrier 
issues including assessing the safety fitness of truck and bus 
companies, compliance with hours of service regulations, and 
will consider options to improve safety of commercial motor 
vehicles. The Subcommittee will also examine issues related to 
or affecting commercial motor vehicle drivers including 
attracting and retaining qualified drivers, the impact of 
congestion and detention time, and training requirements for 
new drivers entering the industry.

                  6. Rolling Stock Procurement Reform

    The Subcommittee will examine ways to improve the 
procurement process for rolling stock with the goal of reducing 
costs to enable taxpayer dollars to go further and expanding 
the public benefits of the procurement process. Specifically, 
the Subcommittee will examine Buy America requirements, explore 
ways to assist small transit agencies with the procurement 
process, and streamline the No/Low bus procurement process, 
among other areas.

7. Improving the Safety of U.S. Roadways Which Endure 37,000 Fatalities 
                                 a Year

    The National Priority Safety Programs provide grants to 
eligible states in order to address specific highway safety 
challenges such as impaired driving, pedestrian and bicycling 
fatalities, and distracted driving and younger drivers. The 
Subcommittee will examine the performance of each program and 
consider changes to the programs to boost their effectiveness 
at reducing fatalities.

                       8. FAST Act Implementation

    The FAST Act, enacted on December 4, 2015, reauthorized 
federal surface transportation programs through fiscal year 
2020. In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee will continue to 
oversee implementation of the FAST Act by the DOT.

     Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials

               1. Rail Infrastructure and Safety Programs

    The Passenger Rail Reform and Investment Act of 2015 
(PRRIA), enacted as title XI of the FAST Act (P.L. 114-94), 
reauthorized Amtrak and programs administered by the Federal 
Railroad Administration (FRA). PRRIA restructured and 
consolidated the grant programs administered by the FRA to 
include Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvement 
Grants for passenger and freight rail projects that improve 
safety, reliability or efficiency; Federal Partnership for 
State of Good Repair Grants for capital grants to reduce the 
state-of-good-repair backlog for assets used to provide 
intercity passenger rail service; and Restoration and 
Enhancement Grants for operating assistance grants to initiate, 
restore, or enhance intercity passenger rail service. PRRIA 
authorized a total of $2.2 billion for these programs for 
fiscal years 2016 through 2020. PRRIA also made several 
improvements to the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement 
Financing (RRIF) program, which provides long-term, low-
interest loans and loan guarantees for railroad-related 
improvements. While this program is authorized to provide up to 
$35 billion in lending, the FRA has executed only about $5.4 
billion in loans; $29.6 billion is currently available in 
credit authority. The Subcommittee will conduct oversight of 
the grant and loan programs and the ongoing construction of 
projects throughout the country as grantees build-out their 
projects.
    PRRIA also addressed the safety, efficiency, and 
reliability of the rail industry. The Act included several 
provisions to improve safety at highway-rail grade crossings, 
including a requirement that all states develop highway-rail 
grade crossing safety action plans. The Act emphasized the 
safety of intercity passenger and commuter rail operations, 
with requirements that carriers develop action plans to ensure 
compliance with speed limits on curves and in bridges and 
tunnels; that the Secretary of Transportation evaluate track 
inspection regulations on high-density commuter railroad lines; 
and that audio and image recording devices be installed in 
passenger train locomotives. The Subcommittee will conduct 
oversight of the FRA's safety programs and the changes enacted 
as part of the Act.
    The work at the FRA to implement the Rail Safety 
Improvement Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-432) continues, in particular 
the Act's requirement for the installation of positive train 
control (PTC) systems by December 31, 2015, on rail routes 
carrying passengers or poisonous or toxic-by-inhalation 
hazardous materials.
    In October 2015, the Positive Train Control Enforcement and 
Implementation Act of 2015, enacted as part of the Surface 
Transportation Extension Act of 2015 (P.L. 114-73), extended 
the deadline for installation of PTC to December 31, 2018. At 
the discretion of the Secretary of Transportation, the deadline 
may be extended for individual railroads for up to two 
additional years. The Act requires each rail carrier to report 
annually to the DOT on its progress toward implementing PTC 
systems. PRRIA also made available $199 million from the Mass 
Transit Account of the Highway Trust Fund for discretionary 
grants to public transit agencies and state and local 
governments to assist them with the costs of installing PTC.
    The Subcommittee will conduct oversight of the FRA's safety 
programs, including the FRA's progress toward implementing the 
requirements of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008, grants 
issued for implementation of PTC, and railroad progress toward 
meeting the final deadline for implementation of PTC.

                               2. Amtrak

    PRRIA reauthorized Amtrak, Amtrak's Office of the Inspector 
General, and the Northeast Corridor Commission through fiscal 
year 2020. The Act changed the authorization structure of 
Amtrak by providing funding by ``lines of business'' 
(specifically the Northeast Corridor and the National Network) 
rather than providing separate grants for operating and 
capital/debt service activities. The Act also reformed Amtrak's 
operations, budgeting, and planning processes to reflect the 
lines-of-business approach. PRRIA also established a State-
Supported Route Advisory Committee to help remedy issues 
pertaining to cost allocation on state-supported routes. The 
Subcommittee will conduct oversight of Amtrak, Amtrak's Office 
of the Inspector General, the Northeast Corridor Commission, 
and the State-Supported Route Advisory Committee as well as 
implementation of the 2008 and 2015 Acts.

                 3. Surface Transportation Board (STB)

    The Surface Transportation Board Reauthorization Act of 
2015 (P.L. 110-114) reauthorized the STB for the first time 
since the agency was created in 1995. The Act expanded the 
Board from three to five members; set expedited timetables for 
consideration of rate complaints; authorized the STB to 
initiate investigations on its own initiative; modified the 
voluntary arbitration process for small rate disputes; and made 
other changes to improve the STB's efficiency and 
responsiveness. The Subcommittee will conduct oversight of the 
STB and its implementation of the reauthorization Act.

                      4. Pipeline Safety Programs

    Congress reauthorized the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials 
Safety Administration's (PHMSA) pipeline safety program through 
fiscal year 2019 in the Protecting our Infrastructure of 
Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2016 (PIPES Act; P.L. 
114-183). The PIPES Act will ensure the agency completes its 
responsibilities under the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory 
Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011; provided for a number 
of assessments of the current safety program; included the 
establishment of minimum standards for underground natural gas 
storage systems and liquefied natural gas facilities; provided 
the PHMSA with emergency order authority to impose emergency 
restrictions, prohibitions, and safety measures on owners and 
operators of pipeline facilities to abate imminent hazards; and 
reformed the PHMSA to be a more dynamic, data-driven regulator. 
The Subcommittee will conduct oversight of the Office of 
Pipeline Safety at the PHMSA and its implementation of the 2016 
and 2011 Acts.

                 5. Hazardous Materials Safety Programs

    The Hazardous Material Transportation Safety Improvement 
Act of 2015, enacted as Title VII of the FAST Act (P.L. 114-
94), reauthorized the hazardous materials safety program 
administered by the PHMSA. The Act included a number of 
provisions to enhance the safety of hazardous materials 
transportation, with a significant focus on the transportation 
of flammable liquids, including crude oil and ethanol, by rail. 
The Act requires all new tank cars to be equipped with thermal 
blankets and protection for top fittings; mandates that all 
DOT-111 tank cars in flammable liquids service be retrofitted 
in accordance with new DOT standards; requires railroads to 
provide States and local responders with advanced notification 
and information on high-hazard flammable trains; and authorizes 
grant funding to assist communities in preparing for and 
responding to hazardous materials accidents. The Subcommittee 
will continue oversight of the PHMSA's hazardous materials 
safety program.

            Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment

          1. Clean Water Act and Water Infrastructure Programs

    The Clean Water Act (CWA) was enacted in 1972 to ``restore 
and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity 
of the Nation's waters.'' The CWA established the basic 
structure for regulating the discharge of pollutants into the 
waters of the U.S., provided the Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) with authority to establish nationwide standards 
for water pollution control programs that are implemented 
either by the EPA or approved states, funded the construction 
of wastewater treatment projects, and recognized the need to 
address nonpoint sources of pollution.
    While the CWA has made significant progress in addressing 
water quality impairments, continued improvement of water 
quality will likely require a combination of regulatory and 
non-regulatory approaches, as well as continued investment in 
the implementation of water quality-related and water 
infrastructure programs. The Subcommittee's oversight will 
focus on issues related to implementation of the CWA, both by 
federal agencies and approved states, as well as the need for 
additional water infrastructure investment.
    The Subcommittee will conduct oversight of the 
implementation of various regulatory and non-regulatory 
programs under the CWA, including how the EPA and the Army 
Corps of Engineers (Corps) implement and enforce these programs 
in conjunction with approved states, and trends on the 
effectiveness of the CWA to improve local water quality. This 
includes oversight of issues involving the establishment and 
implementation of water quality standards and total maximum 
daily loads; the development and application of new or revised 
effluent limitations; compliance with and enforcement of the 
permitting programs of the CWA under section 402 (point source 
discharges of pollutants under the National Pollutant Discharge 
Elimination System (NPDES) permit program) and section 404 
(permitting of discharges of dredged or fill materials); and 
how the EPA and the Corps assert federal jurisdiction and make 
jurisdictional determinations under the CWA. Oversight also 
will include an examination of federal and state policies and 
efforts to address the presence of nutrients, harmful algal 
blooms, and other contaminants in waters under the CWA and 
other federal statutes, the impact of CWA-associated releases 
on waters that may be used as a source of drinking water as 
well as combined and sanitary sewer overflows, stormwater, 
certain agricultural activities, and nonpoint sources of 
pollution.
    Continued investments in U.S. water-related infrastructure 
should: (1) prioritize the creation of American jobs and the 
utilization of American-made products; (2) support a healthy 
and sustainable economy and environment; and (3) protect public 
health and safety. In furtherance of these points, the 
Subcommittee will conduct oversight of wastewater treatment and 
water pollution control funding issues, including levels and 
sources of funding and management of grant and loan programs; 
opportunities for utilities to increase their overall 
efficiency and resiliency; wastewater security; and 
infrastructure needs. The Subcommittee will also examine local 
affordability concerns, including whether and how existing CWA 
infrastructure financing authorities are utilized by different 
types of communities, and whether additional federal resources 
can and should be targeted to address local affordability 
concerns. The Subcommittee may also examine how existing CWA 
financing authorities serve to address the water infrastructure 
needs of small, rural, tribal, and low-income communities.
    Further, the Subcommittee will continue to review the EPA's 
implementation of integrated approaches to municipal stormwater 
and wastewater management through the EPA's integrated planning 
approach framework, as well as on the utilization of green 
infrastructure and nature-based approaches to addressing local 
water quality concerns as well as other local quality-of-life 
benefits. The Subcommittee may investigate whether non-
regulatory approaches, such as water quality trading and other 
market-based approaches, and other innovative approaches 
undertaken by state and local governments, could result in 
improvements to the environment.

           2. Army Corps of Engineers Water Resources Program

    The Subcommittee will review efforts to improve the 
efficiency and effectiveness of the civil works program of the 
Corps, including the planning, authorization, and 
implementation of water resources development projects, and the 
Corps' efforts to improve the resiliency and sustainability of 
civil works projects in the short- and long-term. The 
Subcommittee will also examine the financing and maintenance of 
harbor and inland waterways infrastructure and efforts towards 
full-utilization of annual harbor maintenance trust fund 
collections for the maintenance of large, medium, and small 
(emerging) harbors; the backlog of uninitiated Corps 
construction projects or deferred Corps maintenance projects; 
and asset management of projects in the Corps' operation and 
maintenance account, including existing and future levels of 
service. The Subcommittee may review the effect of recent 
changes in the process for funding the Corps' civil works 
projects, including increased usage of non-federal sponsor 
funds through advanced or contributed funds, or through use of 
sections 203 and 204 of the Water Resources Development Act of 
1986 (P.L. 99-662), on the Corps' civil works missions. The 
Subcommittee will also review the Corps implementation of 
provisions of recently enacted water resources development 
acts, including the Water Resources Development Act of 2018 
(P.L. 115-270).
    Continued investments in U.S. water-related infrastructure 
should: (1) prioritize the creation of American jobs and the 
utilization of American-made products; (2) support a healthy 
and sustainable economy and environment; and (3) protect public 
health and safety. The Subcommittee will focus on getting 
projects built efficiently, cost effectively, and in a 
resilient and sustainable manner, delivering long-term project 
benefits to the public while also ensuring compliance with 
existing planning and environmental laws.

 3. EPA--Superfund/Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, 
                   and Liability Act and Brownfields

    The Superfund program under the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA; P.L. 96-510) 
is aimed at cleaning up land in the U.S. that has been 
contaminated by hazardous waste and poses a risk to human 
health and/or the environment. The Brownfields program was 
authorized under the Brownfields Revitalization and 
Environmental Restoration Act (title II of P.L. 107-118, which 
amended CERCLA). The Brownfields program is aimed at enhancing 
state, local, and private-sector cleanups of properties, the 
redevelopment or reuse of which may be complicated by the 
presence or potential presence of a contaminant. Unaddressed 
brownfields and Superfund sites drive down property values and 
tax revenues, pose potential human health concerns, and can 
deter reinvestment in cities and towns. The Brownfields program 
protects from Superfund liability many parties engaged in 
voluntary brownfields cleanups, and supports state and local 
brownfields assessment and cleanup activities, and state 
voluntary cleanup programs. The Subcommittee's oversight will 
focus on issues related to implementation of the Superfund and 
Brownfields programs.
    The Subcommittee will also review efforts to improve the 
efficiency and effectiveness of the contaminated site cleanup 
process, the process of assessing natural resources damages, 
and the efforts to hold responsible parties accountable, 
consistent with federal law. In addition, the Subcommittee will 
review the liability, financing, and settlement mechanisms and 
procedures under the current Superfund program, including the 
relation of funding sources and levels for the Superfund and 
Brownfields programs to current demands and needs. The 
Subcommittee will continue reviewing implementation of the 
EPA's brownfields program, including changes to the program 
enacted in the BUILD Act (P.L. 115-141).
    The Subcommittee also will review the role of the states in 
conducting and financing cleanups, and review the relationships 
among the states, the EPA, and other federal entities in 
implementing the Superfund and Brownfields programs.
    In addition, the GAO in 2017 added to its high-risk list 
the U.S. Government's environmental liabilities for cleaning up 
areas where Federal activities have contaminated the 
environment.\2\ Various Federal laws, including the Superfund 
law, agreements with States, and court decisions require the 
Federal government to clean up environmental hazards at Federal 
sites and facilities. According to GAO, in fiscal year 2016, 
the Federal government's estimated environmental liability was 
$447 billion; however, this estimate does not reflect all of 
the future cleanup responsibilities Federal agencies may 
face.\3\ The Committee will conduct oversight of the Federal 
government's actions to assess, quantify, and address its 
environmental liabilities as they relate to those Federal 
agencies and laws under the jurisdiction of the Committee.

boundary and water treaties between the U.S. and Mexico and 
settling any disputes over their application. The body is 
comprised of both U.S. and Mexican sections, headed by an 
Engineer-Commissioner who is appointed by the President. The 
U.S. Section is headquartered in El Paso, TX and operates under 
the guidance of the State Department. The IBWC carries out, in 
accordance with their governing treaties, the distribution, 
regulation, and conservation of water in the Rio Grande and 
Colorado Rivers for use by both countries; joint construction, 
operations, and maintenance of international storage dams and 
reservoirs; and hydroelectric plants, flood protection, and 
sanitation projects for border water quality problems, as well 
as demarcating the boundary between the U.S. and Mexico.
    The Subcommittee will review the overall operations of the 
IBWC, including its management of several flood damage 
reduction and water supply infrastructure projects under the

                     OVERSIGHT PLAN--MINORITY VIEWS

    Although much of the Oversight Plan was developed in a 
bipartisan manner, the Minority Members submit additional 
minority views to clarify one aspect of the Oversight Plan with 
regard to the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, 
specifically, the paragraph regarding ``Surface Transportation 
Investment--Current and Future Needs.'' While the minority 
agrees it is important to build stronger, more resilient 
transportation networks, we do not agree with the specificity 
of the purpose for doing so set forth by the majority. As we 
seek to maximize scarce taxpayer resources, reduce future 
costs, and ensure communities are able to re-build, the 
minority continues to believe that building stronger, more 
resilient transportation infrastructure is simply good 
practice. With that, we submit the following modification to 
the portion of the Oversight Plan which specifically addresses 
work under the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit.

                  SUBCOMMITTEE ON HIGHWAYS AND TRANSIT


     1. Surface Transportation Investment--Current and Future Needs

    Bringing the Nation's crumbling transportation 
infrastructure to a state of good repair, upgrading bridges, 
improving road quality, addressing capacity needs, and ensuring 
access to reliable transit options will require substantial 
investment. According to the Department of Transportation 
(DOT), we need to invest $1.7 trillion at all levels of 
government over the next 10 years to bring roads, bridges, and 
transit systems to a state of good repair and to expand 
capacity. At the same time, transportation investments made 
today must meet the needs of the future. This includes 
utilizing new technologies and incorporating innovative 
mobility solutions to move people and goods more safely and 
efficiently. This also includes building stronger, more 
resilient transportation networks. The Subcommittee will probe 
surface transportation investment needs and emerging policy 
areas in preparation for a long-term reauthorization bill.

                                 PART B

    Part B of this section contains a summary of the actions 
taken by the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure to 
implement the Oversight Plan for the 116th Congress and the 
recommendations made with respect to this plan. Part B also 
contains a summary of the additional oversight activities 
undertaken by the Committee, and the recommendations made or 
actions taken thereon.
