HRES 951, introduced in the 119th Congress, facilitates the consideration of several significant bills aimed at amending various environmental and regulatory policies. The resolution outlines the procedural framework for discussing the following key proposals:
H.R. 4776: This bill seeks to amend the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, aiming to clarify ambiguous provisions to streamline the environmental review process. The goal is to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in project approvals, potentially expediting infrastructure and development initiatives.
H.R. 1366: This legislation addresses hardrock mining by providing for the establishment of multiple mill sites and creating the Abandoned Hardrock Mine Fund. This fund would support the cleanup and rehabilitation of abandoned mines, thereby mitigating environmental hazards and promoting responsible mining practices.
H.R. 845: This bill mandates the Secretary of the Interior to remove the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act’s list of endangered and threatened wildlife. This action could impact wildlife management policies and state-level conservation efforts.
H.R. 3616: This proposal requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to review regulations affecting the reliable operation of the bulk-power system, ensuring that energy infrastructure remains robust and reliable.
H.R. 3632: This bill amends the Federal Power Act to modify requirements related to service adequacy and mandates advance notice from owners or operators of electric generating units regarding planned retirements. This aims to improve transparency and reliability in the energy sector.
H.R. 4371: This legislation seeks to enhance the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, focusing on strengthening measures to combat child trafficking.
