A full committee business
meeting
to consider the following items:
S.
3891,
A bill to amend the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965
to update and expand Federal economic development investment in the
economic recovery, resiliency, and competitiveness of communities,
regions, and States across the United States, and for other purposes
(Carper-Capito)

A bill to reauthorize the America’s Conservation Enhancement Act, and

S.
3858,
A bill to establish within the Office of Land and Emergency Management
of the Environmental Protection Agency the Office of Mountains,
Deserts, and Plains, and for other purposes (Kelly-Lummis)
This is a
hearing
of the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and
Emergency Management. The hearing will examine if the expanded use of
resources is impacting the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s
(FEMA’s) ability to carry out its disaster readiness mission. While
disaster costs in the United States continue to increase,
FEMA is being tasked more frequently with
responding to non-disaster emergencies, such as the
COVID-19 pandemic, the southern border crisis,
and Operation Allies Welcome.
