United States House Energy Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing, and Critical Minerals

The Energy Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing and Critical Minerals is a subcommittee within the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. Prior to 2009, it was known as the Subcommittee on Environment and Hazardous Materials; it was part of the Subcommittee on Energy and Environment from 2009 to 2011. In December 2010, Representative Fred Upton, the incoming chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee for the 112th Congress, announced his intention to establish the Environment and Economy Subcommittee as a separate subcommittee. In January 2023, new Chair of the full committee Cathy McMorris Rodgers amended the subcommittee's jurisdiction, transferring responsibility for climate policy to the United States House Energy Subcommittee on Energy, Climate and Grid Security, while adding broader manufacturing policy to the jurisdiction of this subcommittee.
