Ranking Member Huffman gives formal notice of intent to file supplemental or minority views, the committee authorizes staff to make technical and conforming changes subject to minority approval, the Chair announces an upcoming GAOA field hearing and bipartisan bill effort, and then adjourns the committee.
The Chair sequentially discharges the relevant subcommittees from further consideration of H.R. 3276, 3925, 7882, and 8686, then by unanimous consent orders all four measures favorably reported to the House with specified amendments in the nature of a substitute and a Gosar amendment for the Yuma Proving Ground bill, and lays motions to reconsider on the table.
Rep. Tiffany supports the package but criticizes the Bird Habitat Stewardship Act for overlooking bird mortality from wind and solar, citing turbine collision estimates and the Ivanpah solar facility, while Ranking Member Huffman rebuts by highlighting larger bird mortality sources (cats, buildings) and noting Ivanpah’s decommissioning.
The Chair proposes handling all four bills via a single unanimous consent package, then Rep. Stauber outlines H.R. 7882’s authorization for BLM to lease federal subsurface minerals under Carlsbad using offsite horizontal drilling, cites projected federal and local revenue gains, and enters local council support into the record.
Ranking Member Huffman underscores the unusual bipartisan unanimity, details the conservation aims of H.R. 3276, the tribal land return and FLPMA considerations in H.R. 3925, the military readiness rationale for H.R. 8686, and environmental safeguards, including bonding and groundwater protections, added to H.R. 7882.
