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;
            (E)  have a view toward insuring against 
            duplication of Federal programs; and
            (F)  give priority consideration to including in 
            the plan adiscussion of how the committee's work 
            will address issues of inequities on the basis of 
            race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual 
            orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or 
            national origin.
        (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.

                 Public Law 117-146 S. 3580 (H.R. 4996)

Summary

    This bill revises requirements governing ocean shipping to 
increase the authority of the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) 
to promote the growth and development of U.S. exports through 
an ocean transportation system that is competitive, efficient, 
and economical. For example, the bill requires the FMC to (1) 
investigate complaints about detention and demurrage charges 
(i.e., late fees) charged by common ocean carriers, (2) 
determine whether those charges are reasonable, and (3) order 
refunds for unreasonable charges. It also prohibits common 
ocean carriers, marine terminal operators, or ocean 
transportation intermediaries from unreasonably refusing cargo 
space when available or resorting to other unfair or unjustly 
discriminatory methods.

        Expedited Delivery of Airport Infrastructure Act of 2021


                      Public Law 117-186 H.R. 468

To amend title 49, United States Code, to permit the use of 
incentive payments to expedite certain Federally financed 
airport development projects.

Summary

    H.R. 468 permits airports to use Airport Improvement 
Program (AIP) funds to make incentive payments to contractors 
for early completion of airport development and planning 
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. 468 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.

Summary

    Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) are notices from the 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.
    H.R. 1262 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 to 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.

                       Local Water Protection Act


                           H.R. 2008 (S. 29)

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

Summary

    H.R. 2008 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.
    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.
    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.
    H.R. 2008 authorizes $200 million annually for the section 
319 program through 2024.

         Preliminary Damage Assessment Improvement Act of 2021


                               H.R. 3709

To direct the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management 
Agency to submit to Congress a report on preliminary damage 
assessments and make necessary improvements to processes 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. This measure directs 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.

                        Fair and Open Skies Act


                               H.R. 3095

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

    This bill 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.
    This bill 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. This bill 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. This bill 
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.

A bill to ensure that certain Federal infrastructure programs

Summary

    This bill requires Federal infrastructure programs to 
provide for the use of materials produced in the United States.
    Each Federal agency must submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget and to Congress a report that identifies each 
Federal financial assistance program for infrastructure 
administered by the agency and (1) identify domestic content 
procurement preferences applicable to the assistance, (2) 
assess the applicability of such requirements, (3) provide 
details on any applicable domestic content procurement 
preference requirement, and (4) include a description of the 
type of infrastructure projects that receive funding under the 
program.
    Each agency shall ensure that none of the funds made 
available for such a program may be used for a project unless 
all of the iron, steel, and manufactured products used in the 
project are produced in the United States, subject to waivers 
where inconsistent with the public interest, where not produced 
in sufficient quantities or satisfactory quality, or where such 
inclusion will increase the cost of the project by more than 25 
percent.

Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation sent a 
letter to President Biden requesting U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) withdraw a March 2021 Jones Act ruling and

        U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Response to Sexual Assaults

    On October 29, 2021, the Chairs of Full Committee and 
Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation, along 
with the Chair of the House Committee on Armed Services (HASC), 
the Chair of the HASC Subcommittee on Military Personnel, the 
Chair of the HASC Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection 
Forces, and the Chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, 
Science, and Transportation sent a letter to the Secretary of 
the DOT expressing their concerns over then-recent allegations

from his position. The DOT and the Maritime Administration 
responded in writing on November 8, 2021, and December 17, 
2021, respectively, to notify the Chairs that they suspended 
the Sea Year program as requested. The Maritime Administration 
letter contained the framework for a new set of sexual assault 
and sexual harassment prevention standards called Every Mariner 
Builds A Respectful Culture (EMBARC), to which vessel operators 
must apply to, be enrolled in, and maintain compliance with, 
when accepting USMMA cadets for Sea Year training.

additionally Mr. Pappas, sent a letter to the Comptroller 
General of the United States requesting that the GAO examine 
the culture within the Coast Guard as it pertains to the sexual 
orientation and gender identity of active duty service members. 
Although there are currently no restrictions on lesbian, gay, 
bisexual, or queer (LGBTQ) people serving in the military, 
members of the LGBTQ community are known to face higher levels 
of sexual harassment than other members of the services. The 
GAO responded to the letter with an affirmative agreement to

Committee sent a letter to the Commandant of the Coast Guard 
expressing their concern with the perceived lack of Coast Guard 
involvement and action in the offshore leasing process at the 
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). The Coast Guard is 
supposed to play an integral role in the leasing and 
development process of offshore wind farms and holds sole 
responsibility for ensuring safety in U.S. waters. It must, 
therefore, choose to work in conjunction with BOEM from the 
earliest stages of the permitting process.

                   U.S. Coast Guard Arctic Operations

    On October 12, 2022, the Chair and Ranking Member of the 
Full Committee sent a letter to the Comptroller General of the 
United States requesting that the GAO examine the Coast Guard's 
plans to identify, assess, and manage risk in relation to 
addressing the hazards associated with its Arctic operations. 
Though other GAO investigations on Coast Guard'sArctic 
capabilities were completed recently (2010, 2016), the extent 
to which the Coast Guard has been collaborating with other 
relevant entities (i.e., National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration (NOAA), Department of Defense(DOD)) to take 
action in implementing past GAO recommendations is not fully 
understood.

                        U.S. Coast Guard Cutters

    On October 12, 2022, the Chair and Ranking Member of the 
Full Committee sent a letter to the Comptroller General of the 
United States requesting that the GAO review the CoastGuard's 
fleet of cutters, on which the Coast Guard heavily relies, in 
light of the ongoing implementation of the Coast Guard's long-
term recapitalization plan. The fleet currently consists of a 
mix of legacy cutters (110-foot Patrol Boats, 210-foot and 270-
foot medium Endurance Cutters, and 378-foot High endurance 
Cutters) and new replacement cutters (Fast Response Cutters, 
Offshore Patrol Cutters, and National Security Cutters). 
Understanding how operational capacity has changed between 
2012-2022 will clarify the impact of replacement assets on the 
ability of the Coast Guard to conduct its missions.

                       U.S. Coast Guard Aircrafts

    On October 12, 2022, the Chair and Ranking Member of the

United States requesting that the GAO review the challenges the 
Coast Guard faces in meeting the operational availability of 
its 200 fixed-wing (airplanes) and rotary-wing (helicopters) 
aircraft and the effect on its ability to meet mission demands. 
Findings from this study will help ensure that the Coast Guard 
has the necessary resources and assets to conduct its missions 
and is utilizing them both appropriately and effectively.

                       U.S. Coast Guard Manpower

    On October 12, 2022, the Chair and Ranking Member of the 
Full Committee sent a letter to the Comptroller General of the 
United States requesting that the GAO review the challenges the 
Coast Guard has faced in meeting its personnel recruitment and 
retention goals, and the extent to which it has implemented 
measures to reverse current trends.

                               Jones Act

    On October 21, 2022, the Chairs and Ranking Members of the 
Full Committee and Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime 
Transportation sent a letter to the Secretary of Homeland 
Security and the Secretary of Transportation expressing 
concerns with the decision to grant Jones Act waivers for the 
delivery of fuel to Puerto Rico.
                                ------

    On September 29, 2021, the Chair and the Ranking Member of 
the Full Committee and, separately, the Chair and Ranking 
Member of the Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime 
Transportation sent letters to the Comptroller General of the 
United States to offer their sponsorship to an already underway 
study by the GAO, which was originally requested by the Full 
Committee and Subcommittee Chairs, seeking a review of the 
Coast Guard's IT acquisition standards and practices.
                                ------

        applicable, except that a motion to recess from day to 
        day, and a motion to dispense with the first reading 
        (in full) of a bill or resolution, if printed copies 
        are available, are non-debatable privileged motions in 
        the Committee and its subcommittees.
          (2) Subcommittees.--Each subcommittee is part of the 
        Committee, and is subject to the authority and

        applicable.
          (3) Incorporation of house rule on committee 
        procedure.--Rule XI of the Rules of the House, which 
        pertains entirely to Committee procedure, is 
        incorporated and made a part of the rules of the 
        Committee to the extent applicable. Pursuant to clause 
        2(a)(3) of Rule XI of the Rules of the House, the Chair

    (c) Vice Chair.--The Chair shall appoint a vice chair of 
the Committee and of each subcommittee. If the Chair of the

                entitled to present an oral opening statement 
                of five minutes. At a hearing of a

        shall establish the order of recognition for 
        questioning in such a manner as not to disadvantage the 
        members of the majority nor the members of the

        recognized.

          (3) Extended questioning of witnesses by staff.--The

        members to question a witness for equal specified

        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).

                                 PART A

OVERSIGHT PLAN FOR THE COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE--
                             117TH CONGRESS

    In accordance with rule X clause 2(d) 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 117th Congress, the 
Committee will review the administration and effectiveness of 
laws and programs within its jurisdiction, the organization and 
activities of government agencies and entities within its 
jurisdiction and examine whether new or additional legislation 
is needed to address subjects in its jurisdiction. As 
appropriate, the Committee will investigate options to improve 
the overall performance and operation of the agencies and 
entities it oversees, address inequities, promote 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.
    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, 
interviews, 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 willfocus 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.

                        Subcommittee on Aviation

          1. Addressing COVID-19 in the U.S. Aviation Industry

    The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unique challenges to 
the U.S. aviation industry. In the months following the initial 
spread of the novel coronavirus within the United States in 
2020, commercial air travel plummeted by as much as 90 percent 
from the same periods in 2019,\1\ and many companies were 
forced to furlough tens of thousands of aviation employees due 
to the harsh economic effects. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and 
Economic Security Act (P.L. 116-136; CARES) and the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (P.L. 116-260) provided 
tens of billions of dollars in financial and regulatory relief 
for airlines, airports, and other aviation stakeholders in 
order to mitigate the pandemic's effects on their workforces; 
maintain air service and support necessary for the movement of 
consumers and goods across the country; and help ensure the 
survival of the aviation industry throughout this crisis. The 
Subcommittee will closely oversee the implementation of these 
relief programs; the aviation industry's use of financial 
relief awarded under the Acts; and awardees' compliance with 
any conditions contained therein. The Subcommittee will also 
evaluate the potential for future financial and regulatory 
pandemic relief and explore legislative changes that may be 
necessary to support the aviation industry's recovery and to 
ensure the industry is prepared for future pandemics and other 
unforeseen events of a similar magnitude and effect.

     2. Implementation of the Aircraft Certification, Safety, and 
                           Accountability Act

    The Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act 
(P.L. 116-260; Division V) was signed into law on December 27, 
2020. This Act strengthens the Federal AviationAdministration's 
(FAA) aircraft certification process; ensures transparency, 
accountability, and integrity in FAA regulation of U.S. 
aircraft manufacturers; addresses issues identified related to 
human factors, automation in the cockpit, and international 
pilot training; and authorizes nearly $275 million over five 
years in robust FAA oversight, staffing increases, and aviation 
safety-improving programs and initiatives, among other things. 
The Subcommittee will closely oversee the efforts of the FAA to 
implement the provisions in the Act as well as the effects this 
Act has on safety and the U.S. aerospace industry.

        3. Implementation of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018

    The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-254; FAARA) 
was signed into law on October 5, 2018. This Act authorizes 
funding for the FAA through fiscal year 2023 and contains 
numerous provisions to enhance aviation safety; strengthen 
consumer protections for airline passengers; support U.S. 
aviation manufacturing; improve airport infrastructure; 
increase and develop the U.S. aviation workforce; and advance 
the safe and efficient integration of unmanned aircraft systems 
(UAS) into the National Airspace System, among other things. 
The Subcommittee will continue to closely oversee the efforts 
of the FAA and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to 
implement the provisions of FAARA.

  4. Implementation of the FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 
                                  2016

    The FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016 (P.L. 
114-190) was signed into law on July 15, 2016. This short-term 
extension of FAA programs contained several safety-critical 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 this Act.

   5. 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.

                           6. Safety Programs

    During the last several Congresses, the Subcommittee held 
numerous safety hearings and will continue this oversight in 
the 117th Congress. Maintaining a safe and efficient airspace 
system is critical to the aerospace 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, aircraft design and manufacturing, repair stations, the 
FAA's drug and alcohol and medical testing programs, key safety 
agreements, the safe integration of UAS and advanced air 
mobility concepts, commercial space transportation safety, 
civil supersonic aircraft 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.

                7. Investment in Airport Infrastructure

    U.S. airports are part of a global aerospace system, and as 
such they must remain safe and efficient in order to compete as 
global hubs of commerce. It is also critical for airports to 
develop infrastructure designed to reduce pollution and be more 
resilient in order to mitigate and protect against the effects 
of climate change. Over the next five years, the FAA estimates 
a need for $43.6 billion in projects eligible for Airport 
Improvement Program (AIP) grants--an increase of twenty-four 
percent (or $8.5 billion) since the agency's 2019 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 authorized funding 
for 12 years. AIP grants meet less than half of the FAA's 
identified annual 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 $3.6 
billion for airport development in 2018. The PFC has been 
capped at $4.50 per segment and $18 per round trip since 2000. 
PFC collections for calendar year 2017 were $3.286 billion; in 
2018 they were $3.514 billion; and in 2019 they were $3.630 
billion.\2\ 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 significant drop in 
passenger traffic due to COVID-19 has only further affected 
airports' financial health. The Subcommittee will conduct 
oversight regarding airport financing and the FAA's 
administration of the AIP, including the distribution of 
supplemental AIP funds authorized in recent appropriations 
acts, and will explore legislative options for increasing 
financial investment to address airports' current and 
anticipated needs.

    8. 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.\3\ The Office of the Secretary at 
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. The Subcommittee will also review acts or 
events in air transportation that arise due to an individual's 
race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, 
gender identity, disability, age, or national origin.

Airlines, and Southwest Airlines-- had a combined 80.7 percent of total 
operating revenue of all reporting U.S. carriers).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      9. U.S. Aerospace Workforce

    The U.S. aerospace industry has identified projected 
workforce shortages and experienced difficulties in recruiting 
the next generation of aerospace workers, including pilots, 
flight attendants, maintenance technicians, aerospace 
engineers, and other aviation professions. The Subcommittee 
will examine whether these difficulties have been compounded by 
COVID-19. Language similar to the Promoting Aviation 
Regulations for Technical Training 147 Act of 2019, or PARTT 
Act of 2019, was passed as part of the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act of 2021 (P.L. 116-260) to modernize aviation 
maintenance and technician (AMT) schools and address workforce 
shortages within the AMT industry. To ensure the United States 
remains globally competitive, the Subcommittee will conduct 
oversight of FAA implementation of the requirements in P.L. 
116-260, monitor the levels and anticipated levels of 
employment in other aerospace sectors; and explore ways to 
encourage or facilitate the recruitment, development, 
maintenance, and diversification of the U.S. aerospace 
workforce, while maintaining or improving safety. The 
Subcommittee will also explore ways to address inequities on 
the basis of race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual 
orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or national 
origin in the composition of the U.S. aerospace workforce and 
barriers to entry.

             10. 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 
United States 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 and the role of the FAA in providing safety oversight 
of the industry. The Subcommittee will also oversee the 
effectiveness of the FAA's Streamlined Launch and Reentry 
License Requirements final rule (85 Fed. Reg. 79566) issued in 
October 2020 to streamline and reform the agency's commercial 
space launch and reentry licensing regime.

   11. Evaluation of FAA'S NextGen Air Traffic Control Modernization

    The FAA continues its work 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, 
pollution, 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 continues to implement 
NextGen, the Subcommittee will continue to closely monitor and 
examine the FAA's efforts to implement NextGen, including the 
effects the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the agency's 
implementation, and the agency's 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.

           12. Cybersecurity of the National Airspace System

    The FAA's modernization of air traffic control technology 
and the aerospace industry's increasing use of innovative new 
technologies in its aircraft fleet necessitates robust 
cybersecurity efforts. Ensuring the cybersecurity of aerospace 
systems is of critical importance to the safety of aircraft and 
air traffic control. 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 aerospace safety matters is 
maintained.

13. Oversight of Implementation and Deployment of Counter UAS Authority

    Congress authorized the Department of Defense (DOD) and 
Department of Energy (DOE) 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 
United States 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 (DOJ), Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS), and United States Coast Guard to deploy 
counter-UAS equipment toprotect 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' implementationof 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.

                14. National Transportation Safety Board

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

        Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation


          1. Maritime Transportation Programs 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 Elijah E. 
Cummings Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2020 (P.L. 116-283; 
Division G) authorized discretionary Coast Guard funding levels 
of $11.1 billion in fiscal year 2020 and $11.9 billion in 
fiscal year 2021. For fiscal year 2019, specific funding lines 
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 DHS budget 
requirements. Section 8515 of the Elijah E. Cummings Act made 
additional modifications to title 14 to complete all remaining 
conforming changes to meet DHS 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 LVXXXVI of Division G of 
P.L. 116-283 authorized funding for the FMC of $29.01 million 
in fiscal year 2020 and $29.6 million in fiscal year 2021. 
Subtitle A of title XXXV of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry 
NDAA for Fiscal Year 2021 (P.L. 116-283) authorized $1.89 
billion for fiscal year 2021 to support MARAD's activities, 
including $750 million for the Port and Intermodal Improvement 
Program, $494 million for the Maritime Security Program, $20 
million for the Small Shipyard Grant Program, $9.775 million 
for the Marine Highway program, and $388 million for the 
National Security Multi-Mission Vessel Program to recapitalize 
the fleet of state maritime academy training vessels.
    In the 117th Congress, the Subcommittee will hold hearings 
on the President's fiscal year 2022 and 2023 budget requests 
and consider legislation to authorize the Coast Guard for 
fiscal years 2022 and 2023. 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 shoreside infrastructure and deferred 
maintenance; to instill and ensure a culture of respect and 
inclusion throughout the entire Coast Guard active duty, 
reserves, and civilian workforce; and to make improvements to 
laws governing maritime transportation and the U.S. merchant 
marine. The Subcommittee also will focus on the Coast Guard's 
implementation of new measures contained in the Coast Guard 
Academy Improvement Act (Subtitle E of Title LVXXXV of the 
Elijah E. Cummings Act) to prevent discrimination and 
harassment of any individuals based upon their race, ethnicity, 
gender, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, 
or geographic origin at the Coast Guard Academy. In order to 
ensure the Coast Guard can continue to address its ever 
expanding suite of missions, the Subcommittee will also 
continue to examine the needed mix of Coast Guard surface 
asset; the required recapitalization of Coast Guard rotary wing 
assets; the increased use of unmanned systems; and the 
recapitalization of obsolete stoved piped Coast Guard 
information technology (IT) systems.
    In addition, the Subcommittee will continue to conduct 
oversight of the functions and activities of the FMC and MARAD, 
especiallythe FMC's ongoing implementation of amendments to the 
Shipping Act contained in title VII of P.L. 115-282, MARAD's 
activities to promote job growth in the maritime and 
shipbuilding sectors and expansion in the U.S. flag fleet, and 
the resilience, efficiency and needs of the U.S. maritime 
transportation system during the COVID-19 pandemic.

                      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, although that portion of the program 
has been scaled back in lieu of funding constraints. The 
program continues to face serious challenges related to 
schedule and budget, although recent appropriations bills have 
provided additional resources, including new funding for 
initiation of the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) Program and to 
support construction of Polar Security Cutters to recapitalize 
the Service's aged heavy icebreaker fleet. The longer these 
acquisition programs drag out, the longer existing legacy 
assets--especially the Medium Endurance Cutter fleet--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 ever-increasing costs to 
maintain less reliable legacy assets--threaten the ability of 
the Service to complete this recapitalization and avoid serious 
gaps in readiness and operational capability. The Subcommittee 
will examine whether existing production lines should continue 
to meet the Service's expanding suite of missions, particularly 
those related to the national defense missions.
    In the 117th Congress, the Subcommittee will continue to 
review closely the ongoing programs of record, especially the 
status of the $12.1 billion OPC acquisition--the most expensive 
segment. Specifically, the OPC program was granted 
extraordinary financial relief under P.L. 84-805 to modify the 
contract awarded to Eastern Shipbuilding Group (ESG). The 
Subcommittee intends to examine the revised delivery schedule 
for the lead ship and other financial oversight controls 
imposed on ESG. In addition, the Subcommittee will consider a 
2020 GAO report regarding recommended changes to the OPC 
program 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 examine how to meet the Coast Guard's 
operating needs for which no program of record yet exists. 
Also, the Subcommittee expects to review a 2020 fleet mix 
analysis of Coast Guard rotary aircraft needs completed by the 
RAND Corporation's Homeland Security Operational Analysis 
Center, to evaluate the status of the Coast Guard's Waterway 
Commerce Cutter recapitalization program and service life 
extension program for the Coast Guard's fleet of 49-Infromfoot 
motor lifeboats, and to look at the recapitalization of Coast 
Guard IT programs.

                               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 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. Northern Sea Route traffic must pass through 
the Bering Strait adjacent to Alaska.
    While U.S. agencies have a physical presence and 
substantial interests in the Arctic, the Coast Guard's unique 
experience in both Polar regions, and the Service's 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. In 2018, the RAND Corporation's Homeland 
Security Operational Analysis Center viewed this strategy as 
inadequate. The RAND Center identified four major gaps in Coast 
Guard Arctic Capabilities, including unreliable communications, 
lack of adequate MDA, scarcity of available assets and 
supporting infrastructure, and institutional difficulty to 
identify, articulate, and close capability gaps. The GAO 
reported similar conclusions.
    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 117th Congress, the Subcommittee will continue its 
oversight of maritime transportation related activities and 
challenges in the evolving Arctic maritime environment. In 
addition to the aforementioned oversight of heavy icebreaker 
recapitalization, the Subcommittee will focus on implementation 
of several new Arctic provisions contained in title LVXXXIV of 
the Elijah E. Cummings Act, most notably a report on Arctic 
search and rescue capabilities, and development of Coast Guard 
Arctic priorities. The Subcommittee will also investigate the 
status of the two U.S. polar icebreakers which remain 
operational (USCGC Polar Star and USCGC Healy), with particular 
interest in the status of replacement and repairs to one of 
Healy's propulsion systems stemming from an onboard fire in 
2020.

               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. If anything, growing geopolitical tension in South 
Asia and the China Sea, and numerous calls for the Coast Guard 
to play a more active role in the region, might further 
exacerbate the current imbalance, if not make it far worse.
    In the 117th 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. Specifically, the Subcommittee will 
probe opportunities to increase funding for Coast Guard 
operations, especially operations in support of DOD 
initiatives.

                      5. Maritime Domain Awareness

    Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) is 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. 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. In the current COVID-19 pandemic, 
MDA is even more vital in identifying, tracing, and preventing 
community spread of the virus via ocean transportation 
networks.
    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, to acquire MDA information in a more cost-
effective manner with greater accuracy and efficiency. Building 
on progress made during the 115th Congress when the 
Subcommittee successfully passed legislation to establish a 
Coast Guard Blue Technology Center of Expertise (title III of 
P.L. 115-265), the Subcommittee will continue to track efforts 
by the Coast Guard to use this new Center to assess and test 
the range and diversity of Blue Technologies and their 
potential to enhance Coast Guard mission readiness, operational 
performance, and regulation of such technologies.
    In the 117th 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 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. Additionally, now that the 
National Academy of Sciences has completed its congressionally-
directed assessment of available unmanned, autonomous, or 
remotely controlled MDA technologies (referred to as UsX), for 
use by the Coast Guard (P.L. 115-282; section 812), the 
Subcommittee will investigate promising UsX systems that could 
be incorporated into Coast Guard operations.

           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, and in 2016, the Coast 
Guard responded to severe flood events in Louisiana and North 
Carolina. 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, and according to the 
National Weather Service, in 2020 there were no less than seven 
severe cyclonic storms impacting the Southeast United States at 
a cost of $1 billion, or more. Clearly, this Coast Guard 
mission responsibility will continue to strain existing 
operating budgets and response assets.
    In addition to its emergency response obligations, 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 (the Vessel 
Incidental Discharge Act or VIDA) 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 117th 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 under the Oil 
Pollution Act (Chapter 40, title 33, United States Code), 
including its existing regulations authorizing the use of 
Alternative Planning Criteria and adequacy and availability of 
oil spill response or marine firefighting assets identified in 
required 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 VIDA 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 or whether alternatives which include additional 
prevention measures are required in areas where the size and 
low population density make it unrealistic to meet National 
Planning Criteria.

                           7. Marine Highways

    Marine Highways (also referred to as ``short sea 
shipping''), is the waterborne movement of commercial freight 
between coastal and river ports which does not involve a sans 
ocean movement. 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., Congress established the Marine Highway Program under 
section 1121 of the Energy Independence and Security Act (P.L. 
110-140) and is now codified as 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.
    The Subcommittee in the 117th Congress will examine 
potential options for addressing factors inhibiting the cost-
competitiveness and expanded use of marine highways 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 and on the waterfront, 
reduce overall air emissions, and stimulate growth in the U.S. 
coastwise shipbuilding market.

                8. Coast Guard Marine Safety Activities

    Stemming from the tragic sinking of the U.S. flag 
commercial vessel El Faro on October 15, 2015, in the 115th 
Congress, the Subcommittee was successful in enacting the Hamm 
Alert Maritime Safety Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-265; title II). 
This legislation made several important maritime safety 
improvements to rebuild the Coast Guard's marine safety 
proficiencies and policy framework. Moreover, it included a new 
requirement to guarantee a more transparent and accountable 
vessel inspection and survey process, especially the Coast 
Guard's oversight of 3rd party inspectors, such as 
classification societies, that participate under the Coast 
Guard's Alternate Compliance Program (ACP). Since passage of 
that marine safety legislation, subsequent high profile marine 
casualties, including the 2018 sinking of the Stretch Duck 7, a 
33, DUKW (``duck boat'') amphibious small passenger vessel in 
Branson, MO, the 2019 tragic fire and sinking of a 77, 
commercial dive vessel, M/V Conception, off of Santa Cruz 
Island, CA, and the capsizing and total loss of the 656, Ro-Ro 
cargo vessel, M/V Golden Ray, off of Brunswick, GA, have 
occurred. None of the Coast Guard's Marine Boards of 
Investigation established for these casualties has completed 
their work and filed recommendations for corrective actions.
    During the 117th Congress, the Subcommittee will conduct 
oversight of the Coast Guard to determine the progress made in 
implementing requirements under the Hamm Alert Act. Of 
particular concern, the Subcommittee will assess the Coast 
Guard's oversight of recognized organizations operating on 
behalf of the Coast Guard under the ACP to determine if 
additional changes are required to ensure accountability and 
transparency, and the Coast Guard's delegation and oversight of 
this vital marine safety function. Moreover, when the 
individual Marine Boards of Investigation referenced above 
complete their work, the Subcommittee intends to review their 
recommendations, especially those for improving small passenger 
vessel safety, to determine if new small passenger vessel 
safety requirements enacted in section 8441 of the Elijah E. 
Cummings Act need further strengthening.

                     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 marine highways in the United States. After almost two 
years of delay, on March 4, 2020, the Secretary of 
Transportation submitted a report titled, ``Goals and 
Objectives for a Stronger Maritime Nation: A Report to 
Congress.'' This report, while generally helpful in identifying 
four goals and thirty-nine objectives, fell far short of the 
intent of the Subcommittee in providing the granular details 
for a comprehensive strategy to rebuild and reinvigorate the 
U.S. maritime industry.
    The new administration has publicly expressed its support 
for the Jones Act, and the Subcommittee in the 117th Congress 
will continue its oversight of the MARAD and other 
jurisdictions within the Committee on the Marine Transportation 
System (established under 46 U.S.C. chapter 555), to ascertain 
the status of the new administration's interest in developing a 
National Maritime Strategy that fulfills congressional intent. 
In addition, the Subcommittee will seek to work with MARAD to 
identify new opportunities to reutilize existing maritime 
assistance authorities (e.g., Cargo Preference, Title XI 
Maritime Loan Guarantees, Capital Construction Funds, etc.) and 
to review MARAD's progress in implementing its competitive 
grant programs for port infrastructure development and small 
shipyards. The Subcommittee also intends to examine MARAD's 
Maritime and Environmental Technical Assistance Program to 
determine how this program might be expanded to support more 
rapid development of industrial technologies and systems to 
support U.S. ``green shipping'' initiatives.

                 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. An ongoing investigation by 
the Coast Guard regarding private training institutions that 
are issuing fraudulent mariner credentials or ratings which has 
resulted in criminal indictments, has raised serious concerns 
regarding the adequacy of oversight of private maritime 
training facilities.
    In the 117th 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, 
and technical workers on vessels. Furthermore, the Subcommittee 
will strengthen viable pathways for separating servicemembers 
to enter the commercial maritime workforce, either at sea, on 
the docks, or in the shipyards through the existing Military to 
Mariner initiative.

 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 health crises and terrorism. In the 117th 
Congress, oversight will be necessary as states, tribes, and 
territories continue to be affected by, and recover from, prior 
disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the 
Subcommittee will continue its oversight of the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) implementation of reforms 
and additional authorities to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster 
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act, P.L. 93-288 
as amended) under the Disaster Recovery Reform Act (DRRA, 
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 will 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, flooding, and wildfires to ensure that the U.S. is 
prepared for the risks that it faces.
    In the 116th Congress, Full Committee Chair DeFazio, 
Subcommittee Chair Titus, Full Committee Ranking Member Sam 
Graves, and then Subcommittee Ranking Member Katko urged FEMA 
and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to set aside the 
full six percent of Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) spending for 
pre-disaster mitigation allowed pursuant to Sec. 1234 of DRRA. 
The Subcommittee will continue to oversee FEMA's efforts to 
advance and enhance resilience and mitigation measures, 
including FEMA's re-branded pre-disaster mitigation program, 
Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC; 
section 203 of the Stafford Act). Through increased pre-
disaster mitigation, the Subcommittee will also seek 
opportunities to address potential inequities in communities 
that may be disproportionately affected by the effects of 
climate change.
    On March 13, 2020, President Trump formally tapped FEMA to 
join the Federal response to COVID-19, invoking the Stafford 
Act and declaring a national emergency.\4\ During the 116th 
Congress, the Subcommittee organized multiple briefings on 
FEMA's progress in acquiring and distributing personal 
protective equipment (PPE) and in-demand medical equipment, 
such as ventilators, as well as working to advance statutory 
cost share relief for state, local, tribal, and territorial 
governments' efforts to mitigate and defeat the pandemic. In 
the 117th Congress, the Subcommittee will continue oversight of 
FEMA's COVID-19 response efforts and vaccine distribution 
support.

                           2. Border Security

    The Subcommittee will continue its oversight of Land Ports 
of Entry (LPOE) construction projects and reexamine public-
private partnership programs created as part of the Fiscal Year 
2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L. 113-76), with the 
goal of finding additional ways in which private sector dollars 
can be leveraged.

                               3. Leasing

    The General Services Administration (GSA) currently leases 
183.5 million rentable square feet--about half of the GSA's 
total space inventory.\5\ The cost of leasing space accounts 
for greater than half of the GSA's Federal Buildings Fund's 
(FBF) annual expenses. 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. In the next few years, more than 50 percent of the 
GSA's leased space will expire, creating an opportunity to 
significantly reduce leasing costs of the Federal government, 
that would hopefully be passed on as savings to the taxpayer. 
The OMB interpretation of its budget scorekeeping rules are key 
drivers of ``own versus lease'' asset decision-making. The 
Subcommittee will continue its oversight of GSA leasing and how 
it manages the replacement of expiring leases with quantifiable 
value for the taxpayer.

                      4. Real Property Management

    The management of Federal real property has been on the 
GAO's ``High Risk'' list since 2003 due to several 
mismanagement issues, including the overreliance on costly 
leasing to meet long-term space needs and underused or vacant 
space.\6\ With nearly half of the GSA's assets over 50 years 
old, the agency has faced challenges maintaining a balanced 
inventory, draining Federal resources and costing more to 
maintain old buildings that are often inefficient. This level 
of deterioration could have catastrophic consequences for 
tenant agency missions and taxpayer costs. The Subcommittee 
will examine how GSA manages its maintenance portfolio and 
whether GSA is sufficiently prioritizing maintenance.

Risk Areas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    During the 116th Congress the Subcommittee held a hearing 
on the efficiency and sustainability of GSA's public buildings. 
In the 117th Congress, the Subcommittee will examine the extent 
to which GSA's processes incorporate real estate industry 
guiding principles and enable the agency to ensure 
sustainability in the design, construction, and operation of 
its buildings portfolio as well as potential actions GSA can 
take to improve building performance and reduce energy 
consumption.
    The Subcommittee will continue oversight of the Public 
Buildings Reform Board created by the Federal Assets Sale and 
Transfer Act of 2016, or FASTA, which is charged with 
developing recommendations for the sale or redevelopment of 
high value real estate assets. The Subcommittee will examine 
the potential impact of COVID-19 on the level of unneeded 
properties as well as examine whether improvements are needed 
for the Federal Real Property Profile database codified in 
FASTA to help facilitate better management of real estate.
    The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the way 
Federal workers utilize real property. The Subcommittee will 
examine how the pandemic has affected the amount and type of 
space GSA tenants need and will oversee the GSA's work with 
Federal tenants to understand the lasting changes the pandemic 
will have on Federal workspace and what that means for future 
project funding.

            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 and taxpayer. The 
Subcommittee will work with the GSA and tenant agencies to 
reduce the space footprint and associated costs as appropriate.

                         6. Federal Courthouses

    The Subcommittee will closely oversee the progress made on 
authorized courthouses to ensure they are constructed within 
the limitations placed upon them by the Committee and the U.S. 
Courts Design Guide, including courtroom sharing by judges and 
staying below or within budget.

                  7. Federal Protective Service (FPS)

    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. The Subcommittee will also examine impacts of 
reduction of Federal office space on FPS and building security 
funding--derived largely from fees collected from GSA's tenant 
agencies.

                   8. Architect of the Capitol (AOC)

    The Subcommittee will continue ongoing oversight of 
projects being undertaken by the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) 
pursuant to the Master Plan for the Capitol Complex, including 
renovation of the Cannon House Office building and the Rayburn 
House Office Building Garage Rehabilitation. The Subcommittee 
will also examine the AOC's assessment of damage inflicted 
during the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, 
as well as logistical support provided by the AOC for the 2021 
inauguration, and the discussion of possible enhancements to 
physical security around the Capitol Complex.

                 9. Smithsonian Institution Facilities

    During the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee invited 
Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch III to testify on 
operational challenges and space needs at the Smithsonian 
Institution. 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 as well as future needs for new museums authorized 
by Congress, including the National Women's History Museum and 
National Museum of the American Latino. The Subcommittee will 
continue to oversee cost-effective solutions to address the 
Smithsonian's space needs such as leveraging private dollars 
and disposal or effective reuse of underused assets.

           10. 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. Given the cancellation 
of currently a year's worth of in-person performances at the 
Kennedy Center, the Subcommittee will continue review of the 
disaster relief funds appropriated and challenges associated 
with re-opening the facility to the public in the wake of the 
COVID-19 pandemic, as well as exploring options the Center may 
have to further expand the reach of virtual performances and 
educational offerings.

                        11. Economic Development

    In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee held a hearing on 
the importance of reauthorizing the Economic Development 
Administration (EDA), its programs and activities supporting 
economic growth in distressed communities, and the role EDA 
plays in disaster recovery. For the 117th Congress, the 
Subcommittee will continue to work to reauthorize the EDA and 
enhance additional programs to ensure these efforts 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 EDA programs to 
assist communities impacted by natural disasters and the COVID-
19 pandemic. In addition, the Subcommittee will continue to 
conduct oversight of regional economic development agencies 
such as the Appalachian Regional Commission.

                      12. Old Post Office Building

    In the 116th Congress, the Subcommittee held two hearings 
on the GSA's management of the Old Post Office Building lease 
agreement with the Trump Organization, focusing on conflicts of 
interest and an alleged violation of the Foreign Emoluments 
Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article I, Sec. 9, Clause 8). 
The Subcommittee will continue to engage with the GSA regarding 
how the agency plans to address potential future conflicts of 
interest associated with other Federal property.

                  Subcommittee on Highways and Transit

    1. Surface Transportation Investment and Program Authorizations

    Bringing the nation's crumbling transportation 
infrastructure to a state of good repair, upgrading bridges, 
improving road quality, addressing road user safety, and 
ensuring access to active transportation and reliable transit 
options will require substantial investment. According to the 
latest DOT Conditions and Performance report, we need to invest 
$2.7 trillion at all levels of government over the next 20 
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 while considering the impacts on all impacted 
communities. This includes utilizing new technologies and 
incorporating innovative mobility solutions to move people and 
goods more safely, efficiently, and equitably. This also 
includes reducing carbon pollution and building stronger, more 
resilient, and adaptive transportation networks. The 
Subcommittee will probe surface transportation investment needs 
and policy as part of its work on a long-term reauthorization 
bill. The authorization for highway, transit, and safety 
programs expires on September 30, 2021.

                   2. Surface Transportation Funding

    Federal highway, highway safety, and public transportation 
programs are funded out of the Highway Trust Fund (HTF), which 
is funded by Federal excise taxes levied on motor fuels and on 
various highway-related products such as tires and heavy 
trucks. Revenues from these taxes may be used only for eligible 
transportation projects and activities. By fiscal year 2022, 
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 these Federal excise 
taxes in 28 years, and improved vehicle fuel efficiency and the 
advent of electric vehicles have further eroded Federal 
revenues. Since FY 2008, this combination has led to a gap in 
the HTF between revenues and expenditures. As a result, 
Congress has transferred approximately $157 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 while also 
examining other future funding options.

               3. Addressing the Threat of Climate Change

    Light-duty vehicles and medium- and heavy-duty trucks 
account for 82 percent of the U.S. transportation sector's 
greenhouse gas emissions and the transportation sector 
generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions. The 
impacts of climate change can pose risks to our infrastructure, 
the economy, and communities nationwide. At the same time, 
transitioning to a more sustainable surface transportation 
system may bring the opportunity for new U.S. job bases and a 
more competitive position in the global economy. The 
Subcommittee will examine means of reducing the impacts of 
carbon pollution from the transportation sector.

            4. 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.

                       5. Motor Carrier Oversight

    The Subcommittee will continue to monitor motor carrier 
safety issues including assessing the safety fitness of truck 
and bus companies, compliance with hours of service 
regulations, and considering 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 
impacts of congestion and detention time, supply chain 
accountability, and training requirements for new drivers 
entering the industry.

                6. Improving the Safety of U.S. Roadways

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 
and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) provide grants to 
states to help address highway safety challenges. This includes 
specific NHTSA programs to address high risk factors such as 
alcohol and drug impaired driving, pedestrian and bicycling 
fatalities, and distracted driving. The Subcommittee will 
examine the performance of these programs, as well as their 
effect on enforcing transportation safety equitably, and 
consider changes to boost the effectiveness of Federal dollars 
at reducing fatalities.

            7. Effects of COVID-19 on Surface Transportation

    The Subcommittee will continue to monitor the effect of 
COVID-19 on the surface transportation network. This includes 
overseeing the impacts of the pandemic on state and territorial 
Departments of Transportation, Metropolitan Planning 
Organizations, transit agencies, local governments, and tribal 
governments. The Subcommittee's oversight will include safety 
issues such as monitoring workplace protections for essential 
transportation workers and assessing states' ability to meet 
highway safety grant requirements. It will also include 
oversight into the ability of transportation providers to 
maintain reliable and efficient transportation options for 
essential workers and the general public. The Subcommittee will 
monitor actions by the Federal agencies within its jurisdiction 
to ensure appropriate stewardship of relief funding and 
assistance for transportation providers to better deal with the 
effects of COVID-19.

                  8. Surface Transportation Innovation

    The Subcommittee will continue to monitor the use of 
Federal dollars used for the research, development, and 
implementation of innovative technologies and solutions on the 
surface transportation system. The Subcommittee will probe the 
impact that the development and deployment of these innovative 
technologies have on safety, congestion, mobility, pollution, 
equity, and surface transportation workers and users. The 
Subcommittee will include in its work oversight of the proposed 
reallocation of the 5.9 gigahertz radio frequency band, and 
impacts to the safe, efficient operation of connected vehicles 
and intelligent transportation systems.

     Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials

            1. Rail Infrastructure Investment and Financing

    The nation's passenger rail network is in need of 
significant Federal funding. Grants, loans, and tax benefits to 
Amtrak, other intercity passenger, and commuter rail systems 
are important to safely delivering passengers on time. Amtrak 
alone received $1.941 billion in fiscal year 2019 
appropriations. Yet the needs to replace rail bridges and 
tunnels, some of them dating to the civil war, remain 
substantial. Amtrak's state of good of repair needs exceed $33 
billion.\7\ Commuter rail faces a state of good repair total 
backlog that exceeds $23.5 billion, according to the DOT's 
Performance and Conditions report. At the same time, proposals 
for high-speed rail and technologies like hyperloop and 
magnetic levitation are seeking Federal support for multi-
billion-dollar projects. The Subcommittee will continue to 
monitor future rail investment needs and examine additional 
options to provide funding to support Amtrak, promote passenger 
rail expansion, and spur rail safety investments.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing 
(RRIF) program 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 DOT has executed only about $6.29 billion in loans; leaving 
$30.2 billion currently available in credit authority.\8\ The 
Subcommittee will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the 
RRIF loan program, assess the credit authority balance, and 
examine ways to increase accessibility to RRIF loans while 
limiting risk to the taxpayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In addition to Amtrak's operating grants, the Federal 
Railroad Administration (FRA) administers competitive grants 
that support rail investments. The Consolidated Rail 
Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) grant funds 
projects that improve the safety, efficiency, or reliability of 
freight and passenger rail transportation systems; the Federal-
State Partnership for State of Good Repair grant funds capital 
projects to replace or rehabilitate qualified railroad assets 
to reduce the state of good repair backlog; and the Restoration 
and Enhancement program provides operating assistance grants to 
initiate, restore, or enhance intercity rail passenger 
transportation. The Subcommittee will continue to monitor FRA's 
grant performance.

                               2. Amtrak

    The National Railroad Passenger Corporation, known as 
``Amtrak,'' was created by the Rail Passenger Service Act of 
1970, and its operations were significantly restructured by the 
Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (PRIIA 
2008; P.L. 110-432). Amtrak operates three types of routes: the 
Northeast Corridor (operated on mostly Amtrak-owned track with 
costs allocated between Amtrak and commuter rail partners in 
accordance with Section 213 of PRIIA 2008), long-distance 
routes operated directly by Amtrak, and ``state-supported'' 
routes less than 750 miles (partially financed by states with 
costs allocated in accordance with Section 209 of PRIIA 2008). 
Because Amtrak relies on Federal funding, the Subcommittee 
exercises extensive oversight of the railroad to ensure that it 
is serving passengers reliably in accordance with statutory 
mandates. Specific areas of concern include food and beverage 
service, station agent staffing levels, issues with contracting 
out work, ADA compliance, and policing.
    In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted Amtrak's 
operations and reduced its ridership and revenue. Amtrak 
experienced challenges in maintaining service levels across all 
three business lines, protecting the safety and livelihood of 
its workers, and continuing infrastructure investments. The 
Subcommittee expects to continue oversight of Amtrak's 
recovery, with a particular focus on protecting the health and 
safety of Amtrak workers, monitoring Amtrak's compliance with 
statutory and contractual labor provisions, and tracking 
Amtrak's recovery plans and use of government appropriations.

                             3. Rail Safety

    The FRA has broad statutory authority over rail safety, 
administered through its Office of Rail Safety. FRA also has 
uncompleted rail safety mandates from the Rail Safety 
Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA; P.L. 110-432), and the Passenger 
Rail Reform and Investment Act of 2015 (PRRIA 2015), enacted as 
title XI of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation 
Infrastructure Act of 2015, or the FAST Infrastructure Act of 
2015 (P.L. 114-94).
    RSIA's outstanding mandates include: regulations requiring 
railroad carriers to providing emergency escape breathing 
apparatuses for crewmembers in locomotive cabs on certain 
freight trains; regulations to improve the establishment of 
pilot programs to analyze practices that may be used to reduce 
fatigue for certain railroad workers; and finalization of 
requirements that railroad carriers develop and implement 
fatigue risk management programs. PRRIA 2015 included an FRA 
rulemaking requiring the installation of inward and outward 
facing locomotive image recording devices on all lead 
locomotives in passenger trains--FRA has also yet to complete 
this rulemaking.
    Beyond the specific outstanding statutory mandates, the 
Subcommittee monitors FRA's safety programs and industry trends 
for potential safety improvements. Recently, the Subcommittee 
identified areas of potential concern that warrant further 
review: industry-wide trends towards longer freight trains, 
precision scheduled railroading, and the NTSB rail accident 
investigations.
    Long Trains. Average freight train length is increasing, 
and anecdotal reports indicate that maximum train length--the 
longest trains that carriers run on their networks--has 
increased. In May 2019, the GAO issued a report finding that 
freight train length has increased in recent years, according 
to all seven Class I railroads operating in the U.S. While data 
on train length is not publicly reported, GAO verified data 
provided by two Class I railroads and found that trains they 
operated have increased in length by an average of about 25 
percent from 2008 through 2017. Potential impacts identified by 
GAO's May 2019 report include issues related to train makeup 
and handling; impacts to operating crews; and impacts to grade 
crossing safety in communities, such as delayed emergency 
response and effects on driver and pedestrian behavior. The 
Subcommittee will continue to conduct oversight regarding the 
potential impacts that long freight trains may have across the 
rail network.
    Precision Scheduled Railroading. Precision scheduled 
railroading (PSR) is a widely adopted freight railroad 
management framework that relies upon several concepts, 
including controlling costs and optimizing asset use to improve 
the efficiency of operations across the network. PSR challenges 
the view that more locomotives, cars, and crews allow for 
greater traffic volume, instead viewing more equipment as a 
contributor to congestion that slows down the system. As 
railroads have implemented PSR concepts, some railroads have 
closed rail yards, removed locomotives from their networks, and 
downsized their workforce. According to employment data from 
the Surface Transportation Board (STB), the seven Class I 
railroads and Amtrak employment levels have been in a steady 
decline in the U.S. since 2015. In light of these developments, 
the Subcommittee will continue to monitor safety and network 
sustainability.
    National Transportation Safety Board Rail Investigations. 
The NTSB is required to investigate a railroad accident in 
which there is a fatality or substantial property damage, or 
that involves a passenger train (in addition to its authorities 
related to other transportation modes) (49 U.S.C. 1131(a)). 
Such investigations are critical to establishing the facts, 
circumstances, and cause or probable cause of railroad 
accidents. The NTSB's 2019 annual investigation report 
identified a large number of railroad accidents that it was 
statutorily required to investigate but did not pursue, mostly 
using ``limited resources'' as an explanation.\9\ The 
Subcommittee will monitor whether NTSB has sufficient resources 
to conduct NTSB rail investigations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \9\https://www.ntsb.gov/about/reports/Documents/2019-NTSB-ARC-
Appendices.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                    4. Surface Transportation Board

    The STB enforces the ``common carrier'' obligation, under 
which railroads must provide ``transportation or service on 
reasonable request'' (49 U.S.C. 11101(a)). A railroad may not 
refuse to provide service merely because to do so would be 
inconvenient or unprofitable. Railroad shippers have raised 
concerns regarding the quality and level of service provided by 
railroads since the adoption of PSR. The STB sought information 
from stakeholders about this issue, including a May 2019 public 
hearing in Docket No. EP 754 during which railroad shippers 
stated that several Class I railroads had made changes to 
tariffs governing demurrage and accessorial charges or began 
enforcing longstanding tariffs on demurrage and accessorial 
charges without providing adequate prior notice, resulting in 
substantial costs to the shipper.\10\ The Subcommittee will 
continue to conduct oversight of STB's efforts to ensure that 
railroads adhere to the common carrier obligation, particularly 
in relation to PSR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \10\Oversight Hearing on Demurrage & Accessorial Charges, Docket 
No. EP 754.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In 2019, the STB solicited information on integrating cost-
benefit analysis into STB's rulemaking process (Docket No. EP 
752). To date, STB has not issued a final action on this issue. 
The Subcommittee will continue to track STB efforts to impose 
additional cost-benefit analysis requirements on its regulatory 
process.
    Amtrak's right of preference to dispatching services on 
freight-owned lines is also within STB's jurisdiction (49 U.S.C 
24308(c)). Under Section 24308(f) of chapter 49, United States 
Code, the STB has the authority to investigate substandard 
performance of Amtrak. The Subcommittee will conduct oversight 
of the STB, including substandard performance investigations 
and enforcement of Amtrak preference.

                           5. Pipeline Safety

    The 116th Congress reauthorized the Pipeline and Hazardous 
Materials Safety Administration's (PHMSA) pipeline safety 
program through fiscal year 2023 in the Protecting our 
Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2020 
(PIPES Act; P.L. 116-260). The PIPES Act authorized increases 
to PHMSA's pipeline safety inspection and enforcement 
personnel; enabled PHMSA to offer key employees additional 
recruitment and retention bonuses; directed PHMSA to update its 
regulations on large-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) 
facilities; directed PHMSA to issue a final rule governing gas 
gathering lines; extended whistleblower protections for 
disclosure of pipeline safety concerns; directed companies to 
conduct leak detection and repair programs that protect the 
environment and pipeline safety; required PHMSA to study and 
implement best available technologies or practices to prevent 
or mitigate the release of natural gas when making planned 
repairs or maintenance; provided PHMSA clear definitions of 
``coastal beaches'' and ``certain coastal waters;'' created a 
new technology pilot program; mandated PHMSA issue regulations 
prescribing the applicability of pipeline safety requirements 
to certain idled pipelines; and required PHMSA to report to 
Congress on its progress on outstanding Congressional mandates, 
among other items. Title II of the bill (``The Leonel Rondon 
Pipeline Safety Act'') responded to the tragic gas distribution 
explosions in the Merrimack Valley region of Massachusetts, by 
directing improvements in distribution integrity management 
plans; mandating that emergency response plans address timely 
communications with first responders and the general public as 
highlighted by the NTSB; directing improvements to operations 
and maintenance manuals and pipeline safety management systems; 
and requiring that pipeline safety practices safeguard pressure 
controls. The Subcommittee will monitor PHMSA's overall work on 
pipeline safety and its implementation of PIPES 2020, as well 
as any outstanding mandates from the 2011 and 2016 pipeline 
safety bills.

                     6. Hazardous Materials Safety

    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 PHMSA. The Act included 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. In 2019, PHMSA 
authorized the transportation of LNG by rail tank car by 
special permit. The special permit was followed by a July 2020 
final rule permanently authorizing LNG by DOT-113 specification 
tank cars.\11\ These actions were spurred in part by a Trump 
administration Executive Order which directed PHMSA to allow 
LNG via tank car on a delineated schedule.\12\ The Subcommittee 
will review the integrity and independence of PHMSA's safety 
evaluation of LNG in rail tank cars. The Subcommittee will also 
continue oversight of the PHMSA's hazardous materials safety 
program.

released a report that examined PHMSA's safety culture and 
found ``opportunities to further enhance'' the agency's safety 
culture.\13\ Areas identified for improvement included: 
transparency, communication, employee perceptions of undue 
influence on agency decision-making, and retaliation concerns. 
The Subcommittee will monitor PHMSA's efforts to improve its 
safety culture.

             8. Railroad Unemployment and Sickness Benefits

    Eligible railroad employees are not covered by traditional 
state-administered unemployment programs; rather, qualifying 
railroad workers receive unemployment and sickness benefits 
under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, or RUIA. Unlike 
benefits paid through state-operated unemployment compensation 
programs, RUIA unemployment and sickness benefits are subject 
to sequestration under the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
Deficit Control Act. As a result, amounts payable to qualifying 
beneficiaries for both sickness and unemployment benefits are 
typically reduced each year by an arbitrary amount. While 
emergency unemployment relief under the Coronavirus Aid, 
Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES; P.L. 116-136) and the 
Continued Assistance to Rail Workers Act of 2020 (section 231 
of P.L. 116-260) included provisions to temporarily avoid 
sequestration of essential benefits.
    The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) administers railroad 
unemployment and sickness benefits, as well as other railroad-
specific employment benefit programs. The RRB meets its 
responsibilities of administering benefits to hundreds of 
thousands of beneficiaries using legacy computer systems that 
were built 40 years ago and are increasingly difficult to 
maintain. As a result, RRB's essential functions are strained 
by these outdated systems, and the agency may require more 
resources to assure the system's continued effectiveness. The 
Subcommittee will evaluate potential measures to improve the 
RRB's effectiveness and avoid unfair sequestration of benefits.

            Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment

          1. Clean Water Act and Water Infrastructure Programs

    The Clean Water Act (Act) was enacted in 1972 to ``restore 
and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity 
of the Nation's waters.'' The Act established the basic 
structure for regulating the discharge of pollutants into the 
waters of the U.S., provided the 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 Act 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 and increased 
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 Act, 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 Act, 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 Act 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 Act 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 Act. Oversight also 
will include an examination of Federal and state policies and 
efforts to address the presence of (or reduce or eliminate the 
discharge of) nutrients and other contaminants in waters under 
the Act and other Federal statutes, the impact of permitted and 
unpermitted 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 
clean water 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 and new clean water financing authorities serve to 
address the water infrastructure needs of small, rural, tribal, 
and low-income communities.
    The Subcommittee will continue to review changes and 
proposed changes of previous administrations related to their 
interpretation, implementation, and enforcement of the Clean 
Water Act, and whether these changes are consistent with the 
Act, with judicial interpretations of the Act, and with the 
science of protecting and restoring the chemical, physical, and 
biological integrity of the nation's waters.
    Further, the Subcommittee will continue to review the EPA's 
implementation of integrated approaches to municipal stormwater 
and wastewater management, the utilization of green 
infrastructure and nature-based approaches to addressing local 
water quality concerns and infrastructure resiliency, and 
providing of technical, financial, and integrated planning 
assistance to disadvantaged communities for achieving and 
maintaining clean water compliance, 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 affordability, resiliency, and 
sustainability of civil works projects in the short- and long-
term. The Subcommittee will oversee changes made by the Water 
Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2020 (P.L. 116-260) related 
to 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 
Subcommittee will also ensure the expeditious implementation of 
other provisions of WRDA 2020 (and other recently enacted 
WRDAs), including provisions related to use of natural- and 
nature-based approaches to addressing water resources 
development projects; implementation of the Principles, 
Requirements, and Guidelines (PR&G) for the development of 
future water resources development projects; provisions related 
to environmental justice and the affordability of future Corps' 
projects and studies; provisions related to quickly addressing 
emergency flooding events; and project specific provisions 
related to several comprehensive, watershed-level studies. The 
Subcommittee will also continue to oversee the backlog of 
authorized, but 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.
    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, and examining any 
disproportionate and adverse health or environmental effects on 
minority communities, low-income communities, and Indian 
Tribes.
    The Subcommittee will also conduct oversight of the 
implementation of various regulatory programs under the Clean 
Water Act carried out by the Corps (in conjunction with EPA). 
In addition to the issues related to the interpretation, 
implementation, and enforcement of the Clean Water Act within 
the Corps' responsibilities (also noted in the EPA-related 
section), the Subcommittee will continue to oversee the Corps' 
project-related and programmatic implementation of section 404 
of the Act.

 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 Brownfields Utilization, Investment, and Local 
Development Act of 2018, or 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.\14\ 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.\15\ 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.

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 and financing of several flood
