The subcommittee still retains some inherent oversight over global warming issues due to its jurisdiction over the federal Clean Air Act.
Jurisdiction
The subcommittee's jurisdiction includes:
- Clean Air Act
- Indoor Air
- Tennessee Valley Authority
- Economic Development Administration
- Nuclear Plant Security and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
