Harriet Hageman, along with 31 cosigners, sent a letter to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Erik Gerding demanding answers to several questions and an extension of the public comment period for their Natural Asset Companies (NAC) rule.\n\nOn October 4, 2023, the SEC proposed a rule to approve the New York Stock Exchange\u2019s (NYSE) listing of NACs. This proposal is complex and based on a nontraditional investing mechanism of questionable legality that would allow for the buying and selling of undefined \u201crights\u201d to certain private and public lands, including to foreign nations and noncitizens, to terminate and prevent all economic activity on such properties. Once in control of the land, NACs will be prohibited from engaging in \u201cunsustainable activities\u201d, including fossil fuel development, mining, logging, and grazing, and the proposal cites the need for this because radical environmental policies and ESG are not moving fast enough.\n\nRep. Hageman stated, \u201cThis misguided \u2018rule\u2019 has the potential to fundamentally change U.S. land access, management, use, and ownership as we know it. As if that weren\u2019t bad enough, the rule places no limits on who can buy these lands \u2013 China, Russia, Iran, and other bad actors would be free to participate and shut down U.S. energy and mineral production. The Biden administration is worshipping at the climate change altar \u2013 and the sacrifice they are offering is use of the land that belongs to all of us.\n\n\u201cThe SEC clearly does not want the public to know about this rule or comment on it, as it has only provided a 21-day comment period. Our letter demands answers to four fundamental questions: What are the \u201cunique listing requirements\u201d the NYSE refers to? Does the SEC claim oversight authority of NACs? If so, what oversight activities will the SEC perform in regard to NACs? By what right does the SEC have to confer \u201cmanagement authority\u201d over federal lands?\n\n\u201cThe bottom line is that this is more bad rulemaking by Biden\u2019s bureaucrats that would take away more of our rights, and it must be stopped.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"], ["https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-introduces-bill-strengthen-gunmaker-protections-frivolous-lawsuits", "Hageman Introduces Bill to Strengthen Gunmaker Protections from Frivolous Lawsuits", "2023-12-13", "2023", "2023-12", "Republican", "House", "WY", "Harriet M.

The issue is whether we should turn a blind eye to what looks an awful lot like bribery at the highest levels of our government, and whether our foreign policy has been influenced by familial conflicts. We know that Biden has received payments through shell corporations connected to Hunter and James Biden. We have learned that he has sent 5,400 emails under pseudonyms, had lunch with oligarchs and conference calls with Hunter Biden business associates, and that over 150 Biden family bank transactions have been flagged by US banks for review.\n\n\u201cThe White House has challenged House subpoenas on the grounds that the existing impeachment probe wasn\u2019t authorized.

The executive order that this bill repeals is yet another example of many where the Biden administration believes that bureaucrats in Washington know better than everyone else how to do everything \u2013 total control of our lives is their ultimate goal. I am proud to have this bill advanced by the House Administration Committee today and look forward to its passage by the full House. The electoral process is one of the most important features of our republic.

According to the Elections Clause, states have the primary role in establishing election law and administering elections. To the extent the Elections Clause contains a federal fail-safe, it is Congress to whom the Constitution delegates that power, not the president. The president\u2019s constitutional role is limited to enforcing legislation enacted by Congress.\n\nThis bill repeals the Executive Order and requires every plan made under it to be submitted to Congress for review. Since the executive order was put into place, the Committee on House Administration, in conjunction with several other committees of the U.S. House of Representatives, have sent letters to 12 federal agencies asking for information relating to their implementation of the executive order. At this time, no agency had responded. By including a requirement in this bill that these plans be submitted for review, Congress will be able to determine what initiatives were created by the executive order, allowing executive branch agencies to get back to the work they were intended to focus on.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:01:09Z"], ["https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/harriet-hageman-applauds-wyomings-leading-role-uranium-industry", "Harriet Hageman Applauds Wyoming\u2019s Leading Role in Uranium Industry", "2023-11-30", "2023", "2023-11", "Republican", "House", "WY", "Harriet M.

The bill represents a 35% reduction in spending from FY2023 levels, expands access to critical minerals, forces oil and gas lease sales, and cuts burdensome regulations. In addition, it fully funds the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program and prioritizes funding for Tribes and Wildland Fire Management. Finally, it incorporates two of Rep. Hageman\u2019s key priorities, delisting the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) population of Grizzly Bears from the endangered species list, and prohibiting finalization of the Bureau of Land Management\u2019s Rock Springs draft Resource Management Plan.\n\nRepresentative Hageman stated, \u201cThis is the most conservative, responsible, and pro-western values appropriations bill ever passed by the House of Representatives. Not only does it cut spending, but this bill actually reduces funding to below FY2018 levels. Despite this aggressive cut, core functions of the Department of the Interior are supported while programs such as \u201ceco-grief\u201d seminars, DEI and CRT courses, and the budget for the Wuhan Institute of Virology are defunded.\n\n\u201cOne of the greatest features of the bill is that it repeals Biden\u2019s Waters of the United States (WOTUS) regulation and reins in regulatory overreach by the EPA.\n\n\u201cOf specific importance to Wyoming, the appropriations bill includes an amendment I offered which prohibits the BLM from finalizing and implementing the Rock Springs draft Resource Management Plan, a plan that was designed to severely restrict grazing, mining, energy production, recreation, and other activities on 3.6 million acres in southwestern Wyoming.\n\n\u201cThe BLM\u2019s draft RMP is one of the largest land grabs we've ever seen. If approved, it would block the use of millions of acres of land for pipelines, power lines, roads, grazing, recreation, and economic development activities. The alternatives laid out in this plan would destroy Wyoming\u2019s local economy. I am grateful that my colleagues in the House chose to support my amendment which would prevent any funds from going towards finalizing and implementing this monstrosity of a plan.\n\n\u201cAnother priority included in this bill is the delisting of the GYE population of Grizzly Bears from the endangered species list.\n\n\u201cEarlier in this Congress I introduced a standalone bill to delist the grizzly, with Congressmen Ryan Zinke, Russ Fulcher, Pete Stauber, and Matt Rosendale as cosponsors.

The bill requires reviews of existing energy laws and regulations to determine if they are adversely impacting energy prices, and establishes metrics to ensure future laws and regulations do not inflict energy poverty on at risk communities. This legislation responds directly to President Biden\u2019s targeting of resource producing states like Wyoming at the expense of all Americans who benefit from reliable and affordable energy.\n\nRep. Hageman stated, \u201cSupply versus demand is the most basic economic concept. Yet, Congressional majorities and presidential administrations led by climate crazed politicians, rather than statesmen, , have artificially destroyed supply while demand for energy resources continues to grow. Whether it was President Biden or Obama, Speaker Pelosi or Leader Schumer, these so-called leaders have waged war against American coal and oil and gas, all the while knowing they cannot replace the very energy resources they are undermining.\n\nThese same officials roll out strategies promoting \u201cenvironmental justice\u201d and \u201ceconomic equity\u201d (while never defining either). Yet, it is ultimately our fellow Americans who struggle to make ends meet when the price at the pump goes up, energy bills reach record highs, and the grocery bill doubles. My bill would expose this culture of false promises by requiring the government to disclose how it currently and in the future will inflict disparate economic pain on at-risk communities across this country.\n\nAmerica\u2019s natural beauty comes from our clean, abundant resources which has provided a quality of life and level of prosperity humanity has never previously seen. Today, Americans suffer from government-imposed wretchedness, and we must chart a new course. The Energy Poverty Prevention and Accountability Act will empower the People and their elected representatives to identify those bad actors intentionally turning off the lights, while holding these officials and their policies accountable. Reform is needed, and this legislation will identify the perpetrators of this government created crisis.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe people most negatively impacted by the Biden administration\u2019s war on American energy have been those in our rural, elderly, and lower-income communities,\u201d Senator Sullivan said. \u201cUnder the guise of \u2018environmental justice,\u2019 the Biden administration\u2019s hypocritical and short-sighted policies have increased costs on hard-working Americans and disproportionately harmed the very people, particularly Alaska Native communities, this administration so often claims to champion. Just last week, the Department of the Interior announced it was locking up millions of acres of land set aside for resource development, ignoring the objections of the Alaska Native people who live in the area and threatening their economic future.\n\n\u201cToday, I\u2019ve introduced the \u201cEnergy Poverty Prevention and Accountability Act,\u201d which requires federal agencies to be transparent about how their regulations drive up energy costs for at-risk communities. Alaskans are faced with some of the highest energy costs in the nation. This legislation will put a spotlight on how this administration's reckless energy agenda harms our communities and will give them a voice to fight back.\u201d\n\nSupporting Organizations Statements on the Energy Poverty Prevention and Accountability Act:\n\n\u2022 \u201cAt-risk communities take on added economic burdens with the ever-fluctuating rules and regulations aimed at the energy industry which results in increased vulnerability and economic setbacks. USOGA urges Congress to increase transparency by mandating analyses by the Office of Management and Budget, the Government Accountability Office, and the Congressional Budget Office on the effects of new energy policies.\u201d \u2013 Tim Stewart, President, U.S. Oil and Gas Association\n\n\u2022 \u201cU.S. energy producers can deliver affordable and reliable energy for all Americans, however, government regulations targeting the energy industry have caused increases in energy costs that disproportionately impact at-risk communities.

Leading this trip was an important reminder of the need to preserve our special relationships and work with our partners to protect our mutual values of democracy, freedom and self determination for decades to come. We saw firsthand the scars and heard the stories from nations once ravaged by conflict, and we will continue to ensure our military and economic strength will prevent history from repeating itself. We will not stand idly by in the face of the oppressive and malign actions of the Chinese Communist Party, and we are committed to defending our borders and allies from any regime that seeks to undermine the values of freedom and democracy we cherish.\" - House Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.)\n\n\"Our Pacific family stands together with the people of Maui in their time of heartbreak and resolve. This CODEL reaffirmed our close friendship with each of the Freely Associated States on their own soil, and I appreciate Chairman Westerman\u2019s strong leadership for a free and open Pacific. These independent nations are vital security partners in this shared mission, and much like American Samoa, many of their people proudly wear the uniforms of a member of the U.S. Armed Forces.\" - Indo-Pacific Task Force Chair U.S. Rep. Amata Radewagen (R-American Samoa)\n\n\"Thanks to Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman for understanding how important the Pacific is to US national security. Organizing this congressional delegation to visit and meet and listen to people and leaders of the Freely Associated States is key to bringing Members of Congress up to speed on our nation\u2019s close relationships and alliances in this region. I also want to thank my congressional colleagues who gave their valuable time to this mission. I am convinced that my colleagues now have a much fuller understanding of the vast area \u2013 from Mili Atoll in the east to Tobi Island in the west \u2013 that\u2019s covered by these Compacts\u2019 renewals. Now, we must translate what we have learned and observed into action by renewing our Compacts with the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. Their partnerships are vital to the US national security.\" - Into-Pacific Task Force Co-Chair Gregorio Kilili Sablan (D-Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands)\n\n\"I was pleased to show my support for the strategic value of the Pacific partners in protecting U.S. interests in the Pacific alongside my House Natural Resources Committee colleagues. Our presence in the U.S. Pacific Territories and Freely Associated States ensures the prevention of unlicensed fishing, protection of natural resources, and emergency response in the region. As a beacon for democracy and an important counter to Beijing, the U.S. cannot afford to waver on its support for our Pacific Island territories.\" - U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.)\n\n\"We are deciding right now whether the 21st century is going to be an American century or a Communist Chinese century, and the Natural Resources Committee is ensuring that American strength leads the way.

Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.)\n\n\"Our bipartisan visit to the Indo-Pacific illustrated the continued importance of strong relationships with the Freely Associated States, especially as the PRC expands its influence. Passing the Compacts of Free Association is a critical way to affirm those relationships. We also saw the importance of preserving the reefs, marine life, and environment in the Indo-Pacific. Thank you Chairman Westerman for leading this trip and thank you to all of the people of Guam, Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and Micronesia who taught us so much. Finally, the devastation left behind by the wildfire at Lahaina was heartbreaking. It reminded us of the fires that burned through cities like Chicago or San Francisco more than a hundred years ago - the fire was so hot it melted glass at 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. I believe and hope we are all committed to delivering much needed federal assistance to Hawaii as we join with the island state, county and town in rebuilding and recovering.\" - U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-N.M.)\n\n\"U.S. support for our friends and allies in the Indo-Pacific is stronger than ever. As Ranking Member of the House Natural Resources Oversight Subcommittee, I was honored and grateful to join this bipartisan Congressional Delegation to the Indo-Pacific. This visit was a powerful reminder of the critical importance of this region to our national and global security and our common commitment to democracy and the social and economic well-being of our Island communities and allies. I was honored to have the opportunity to meet and express my gratitude to our service members and veterans who have served in the region and better understand the crucial ties the region has to New Mexico\u2019s First Congressional District. I return to the U.S. encouraged by the constructive dialogues that took place, and the potential for bipartisan cooperation to advance critical legislation in Congress to reauthorize the Compacts of Free Association currently before the Committee and to address the needs of our veterans, security, economic development, and climate resilience across the region. Together, we have reaffirmed our nation\u2019s commitment to a secure and stable Indo-Pacific.\" - U.S. Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.)\n\n\"It was an honor to welcome my colleagues from the House Committee on Natural Resources to Guam to learn more about our unique needs as an island community and vital part of the United States. It was also a pleasure to visit and learn more about other island communities, including Hawaii, Palau, and the Marshall Islands, which share many of our concerns and interests. During this time of increasing tensions in the Indo-Pacific, it is crucial to continue strengthening our ties and relationships in the region.\" - U.S. Rep. Jim Moylan (R-Guam)\n\n\"Nearly 80 years ago, countless Americans gave their lives to rid the Pacific of their oppressors, and now Communist China seeks to undo decades of economic prosperity and democratic growth across the region. We are indebted to the civilian and military leaders at the American territories and Freely Associated States who spoke frankly with our delegation and thank them for their time and hospitality. From our field hearing in Guam, to visiting our allies in Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic the Marshall Islands, our Indo-Pacific Task Force has gained valuable insight into the challenges our citizens and allies face from growing Chinese aggression. Ensuring a safe and prosperous Pacific requires a wholistic approach, and our partners in the Pacific serve an outsized role in detecting and deterring Chinese escalatory action and gray zone tactics.\" - U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.)\n\nBackground\n\nAs chairman, Westerman has prioritized strengthening America's presence in the Indo-Pacific region with the creation of the bipartisan Indo-Pacific Task Force.

The Working Group will seek to examine how the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is being implemented by federal agencies, the practical impacts on the American people, how litigation is driving ESA decision making, and how success is defined under the ESA. The goal of the Working Group will be to publish a series of policy recommendations that reform the ESA to the benefit of the American people and species conservation. Members of the Working Group include Chairman Dan Newhouse (WA-04), Vice Chairs Bruce Westerman (AR-04) and Mark Amodei (NV-02), and Reps. Cliff Bentz (OR-02), Paul Gosar (AZ-09), Harriet Hageman (WY-AL), John Duarte (CA-13), Judge Carter (TX-31), Jerry Carl (AL-01), and Lauren Boebert (CO-03).\n\n\u201cOnly in the federal government would five percent be deemed a passing grade, but that is exactly how \u201csuccessful\u201d the Endangered Species Act has been at recovering species,\u201d said Chairman Dan Newhouse (WA-04). \u201cIt is clear the ESA is in desperate need of reform, not only for the sake of our species, but for the men and women who are negatively impacted by its land use restrictions, impact on property values, and costly permitting requirements. I am proud to launch this working group with House Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman to work towards providing tangible, actionable solutions to the ESA for the betterment of the American people and species recovery.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Endangered Species Act is a well-intentioned but entirely outdated piece of legislation which must be brought into the 21st Century. With hundreds of species being listed under the Endangered Species list but with a dismal 3% having been delisted, clearly something is not working. It\u2019s time to take action,\u201d said Vice Chair Bruce Westerman (AR-04). \u201cToday, we\u2019re formally launching the Endangered Species Working Group with members from the House Committee on Natural Resources and the Western Caucus to take the first significant action on this legislation since the 1980s. This year is the 50th anniversary of the ESA, and since its creation it has been twisted and morphed by radical litigants into a political firefight rather than an important piece of conservation law. I\u2019d like to thank Congressman Newhouse and the other members of this working group for taking these initial steps to modernize this archaic law.\u201d\n\n\u201cFor far too long, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) has been weaponized by environmental and activist groups to prevent development in many of our rural communities,\u201d said Vice Chair Mark Amodei (NV-02). \u201cWe are seeing this firsthand in Northern Nevada, where the listings of several species have led to the halt of projects such as geothermal plants and lithium mines. Add that to the constant concerns surrounding sage grouse, and it\u2019s clear that we must find long term solutions to support threatened species without destroying development. That\u2019s why I am pleased to join this ESA Working Group and I look forward to working alongside my Western Caucus colleagues as we develop policies that will modernize the ESA so that our communities, businesses, and wildlife all benefit.\u201d\n\n\u201cSince the passage of the Endangered Species Act in 1973, the United States has had the world\u2019s strongest species protection legislation. Since its enactment, the ESA has grown old over the years and is fundamentally due for a focus on modernization. For far too long the federal government has been making listing decisions based on secret science and pseudo-science, including studies that do not allow for peer-review of the underlying data. The government shouldn't have anything to hide if these listings are indeed based on merit utilizing the best available science,\u201d said Rep. Paul Gosar (AZ-09).\u201cThe Working Group will focus on improving the Endangered Species Act and supporting commonsense changes that increase transparency, save taxpayer money, ensure local involvement in species conservation and the designation process, limit the hourly rate attorneys can charge the taxpayers for lawsuits and require the federal government to make available to Congress and the public any data it uses to determine which species to list as endangered.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Endangered Species Act has had profound impacts on my state of Wyoming \u2013 unfortunately, that includes limiting economic development and restricting the implementation of reasonable and effective land, water and resource management and use. It is an act that could work if it were implemented as intended \u2013 to recover actually threatened or endangered fish, wildlife and vegetation. It has instead become a business in and of itself, with an entire economy built around endless studies, monitoring, field work, and lawsuits which allow environmental groups to use the federal government to impose restrictions on the use of private property and limit our ability to use our energy, land and water resources, while also receiving massive federal subsidies through \u201csue and settle\u201d actions,\u201d said Rep. Harriet Hageman (WY-AL). \u201cI look forward to sharing thoughts and ideas with my colleagues on the ESA Working Group as we reevaluate and refocus efforts on what the act was originally intended to do. We cannot continue to allow activist courts or agency bureaucrats to block sound species management or infringe on property rights any longer.\u201d\n\n\u201cDespite its positive intentions, the Endangered Species Act has been woefully ineffective and continuously used as a weapon against farmers, ranchers, and rural America,\u201d said Rep. John Duarte (CA-13). \u201cThe Endangered Species Act Working Group is a critical step in modernizing the ESA to properly balance species conservation with meaningful economic development. I would like to thank both Chairman Westerman and Chairman Newhouse for their leadership on this critical issue.\u201d\n\n\u201cSpecial interest groups have used the Endangered Species Act to halt growth and even impact military readiness. In my district, Ft. Cavazos is continuously navigating ESA overreach, putting the training and military readiness of our service members at risk,\u201d said Rep. John Carter (TX-31). \u201cI\u2019m proud to join the Congressional Western Caucus and be a part of the ESA working group so that we can collaborate on commonsense solutions to protect growth, readiness and species conservation.\u201d\n\n\u201cI am proud to be part of this initiative dedicated to examining the status of various endangered species, such as the Alabama Beach Mouse, which have been wrongfully listed as endangered,\u201d said Rep. Jerry Carl (AL-01). \u201cOur goal is to ensure taxpayer dollars are being spent appropriately and to remove unnecessary government rules and regulations protecting species that are not endangered or at risk of being endangered.\u201d\n\n\u201cWhile well-intentioned, the Endangered Species Act has been weaponized by extremists to lockup our lands, fundraise, and put the interests of the American people last. It shouldn\u2019t take decades and an act of Congress to delist a fully recovered species,\u201d said Rep. Lauren Boebert (CO-03). \u201cI am excited to get to work as a member of the ESA Working Group and look forward to closely coordinating with the House Committee on Natural Resources and the Western Caucus to bring some much-needed reforms and commonsense back to this process.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nSince Congress enacted the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 1973, approximately 1,700 species have been listed as threatened or endangered, not counting experimental populations. Only three percent of these species have been considered recovered and delisted. In addition, the Biden Administration has taken steps to undo the critical work done by the Trump Administration to reform the ESA. This has left stakeholders and members of Congress frustrated and substantially increased the appetite to find targeted and sustainable reforms to the ESA.\n\nContact: Noah Yantis, 217-853-7826", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:18:03Z"], ["https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-votes-support-national-defense-and-military-families", "Hageman Votes to Support National Defense and Military Families", "2023-07-14", "2023", "2023-07", "Republican", "House", "WY", "Harriet M.

The FY24 NDAA provides for our nation\u2019s defense, counters Communist Chinese aggression, supports our servicemembers and their families through a pay increase, improved housing, and access to healthcare. Conservatives in the House have also pushed to ensure that radical woke ideology will no longer have a place in our nation\u2019s defense decisions.\n\nRep. Hageman stated, \u201cSince the founding of our nation, providing for our common defense has been a Constitutional responsibility of Congress. The NDAA is one of the mechanisms used to provide authorization for key provisions of that defense. Because of its importance to our national security, it is an authorization that has been passed in a bipartisan, bicameral manner for 62 years in a row.\n\n\u201cThis year, the NDAA provided a way to end many of the woke policies that have been infecting our military since President Biden took office. We are banning Critical Race Theory (CRT) and gender reassignment surgeries, stopping radical climate change policies, ending government paid travel for abortions, and scaling back Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) mandates.\n\n\u201cI am confident that my four amendments which have been included in this legislation will ensure greater transparency, oversight, and accountability from the DoD. These amendments focus on critical issues such as fentanyl tracking, border security, use of reliable fossil fuel options instead of \u201cgreen\u201d energy, and scrutinizing spending on the war in Ukraine.\n\n\u201cThrough the NDAA, Republicans in the House are also countering Chinese aggression by bolstering homeland defense, deterrence, and intelligence operations. The soft-on-China policies of this administration have weakened America\u2019s security, and its standing throughout the world. We are changing that.\n\n\u201cFinally, we are taking care of the brave men and women of our armed forces who put their lives on the line to keep us free by increasing pay, improving housing opportunities, and providing a path to reinstatement for those that were discharged for refusing to take Covid-19 vaccines.\n\n\u201cWe are doing all of this while still cutting funding by 5% from FY2023 NDAA levels. The United States is constantly threatened by dictators, despots, and world leaders that do not share our love of freedom. It is our duty to ensure that when challenged, our military has the resources and training necessary to prevail in any conflict.\u201d\n\nBackground\n\nThe Amendments that were offered by Rep. Hageman and included in final passage of the NDAA are:\n\n#49 - Would ensure that both Weaponization of the Federal Government Subcommittee and House Armed Services Committee receive oversight documentation from the DoD about the work done in the Countering Extremism Working Group\n\n#118 - Requiring the DoD to report on the Ukraine Lend-Lease Program\u2019s impact on U.S. defense stockpiles and how all equipment will be recovered when the authority expires.\n\n#119 - Enhances fentanyl threat reporting to include a review of U.S. laws and policies which may be facilitating fentanyl trafficking over the southern border.\n\n# 120 - Requires the DoD to ensure authorized funds for energy resilience under the NATO DIANA initiative considers all energy sources that are capable of providing sufficient baseload power.\n\nWyoming specific project inclusions\n\n$27 million for F.E.

Instead of seeking out meaningful input from those adversely affected, they seek to ram the rule through with minimal public hearings and public comment periods. Americans deserve to have their voices heard, and the EPA\u2019s token attempts at transparency fall well short of giving people a say in regulations that directly impact their lives.\u201d\n\nOriginal cosigners include Reps.

The proposal introduces new legal interpretations and presents sweeping claims about the future of technologies and infrastructure used in powering our electric grid. However, the drafted proposal appears to exceed the EPA's statutory limits under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act, as clearly articulated by the Supreme Court in West Virginia v. EPA. Even if the EPA were to possess the authority to impose the generation-shifting proposed, which it does not, the evidence relied upon by the Agency to justify its determinations of the \"best system of emission reduction\" is speculative and lacks substantiation.\n\nDespite the comprehensive nature of the proposal and the unprecedented legal and factual assertions presented therein, the EPA has provided only minimal opportunities for public input. As representatives of the coal industry and the communities it supports, we firmly believe that the voices of our constituents deserve to be heard and valued throughout the rulemaking process. We therefore strongly urge the EPA to extend the comment period by at least 120 days after August 8, 2023 to allow for the necessary legal, economic, technical, and grid analyses to be conducted. It is crucial to fully understand the potential legal and practical issues, assess the ongoing EPA power sector dockets, and heed the warning signs that inadequate consideration of these factors could result in irreversible and tragic consequences. While we are aware of EPA's extension of the original deadline by 15 days, we feel this is still inadequate as the rule covers 181 pages with 63 supporting documents. This is simply not enough time for the entities who will see their businesses harmed by this rule to fully analyze and respond to the EPA's proposal.\n\nHistorically, previous rulemakings pertaining to the power sector under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act have included robust public participation and engagement. Multiple public hearings were held, and comment periods lasted for extended durations. For instance, the proposed Section l 11 ( d) rule in 2014 featured a comment period lasting l 65 days, and the proposed repeal of the Clean Power Plan in 2018 allowed for 192 days of public comment. Additionally, the implementation of the Affordable Clean Energy rule and the repeal of the Clean Power Plan included public hearings and listening sessions conducted in various locations across the nation, ensuring that diverse perspectives were heard and considered. We strongly believe that a similar approach should be adopted for the EPA's New Carbon Rule, with public hearings held in areas directly impacted by the proposed regulations.\n\nThe Agency's decision to severely limit opportunities for public input, particularly in comparison to previous power sector rulemakings, is deeply concerning. The EPA's New Carbon Rule represents a substantial effort with far-reaching effects, and the EPA's own summary of the proposal acknowledges the significant direct costs and impacts involved. It is essential that the American people and the communities we represent are granted sufficient time and means to fully comprehend and assess the proposal's implications. A thorough and informed public discourse is crucial to ensure a balanced and well-founded decision-making process.\n\nGiven the importance and complexity of the EPA's New Carbon Rule, we respectfully request your commitment to extend the comment period by at least 120 days after the August 8th deadline and to facilitate a series of public hearings in areas significantly affected by the proposed regulations. These measures will enable our constituents to engage meaningfully with the rulemaking process, contribute valuable insights, and help shape the final outcome.\n\nWe kindly request your response to this matter no later than June 30, 2023, allowing us to address the concerns of the communities we represent effectively. We appreciate your attention to this critical issue and look forward to your prompt and thoughtful response.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:08:25Z"], ["https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-congress-not-federal-bureaucrats-are-legislators", "Hageman: Congress, Not Federal Bureaucrats, are the Legislators", "2023-06-15", "2023", "2023-06", "Republican", "House", "WY", "Harriet M.

Hageman stated, \u201cI appreciate the hard work of Speaker McCarthy and the other members to reach an agreement on this bill, and I support several of the components included in it. Clawing back unused COVID funds, adding rules to ensure an appropriations process that avoids omnibus (code for out-of-control spending) bills, restarting student loan repayments, and providing for the first actual reduction in spending by Congress in decades are all steps in the right direction.\n\n\u201cWhere this bill falls short, and why I did not vote in favor of it, comes down to two key issues. First, I do not accept the current level of spending as a baseline for future spending. The spending caps established in H.R. 3746 are based upon recent appropriations and legislation, which have been greatly inflated over the past few years \u2013 in fact, 40% of all national debt was incurred while Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House. Second, I have been steadfast in my mission to rein in the administrative state, take power out of Washington, and return it to the people. H.R. 3746 provides more deference to agency bureaucrats to make new rules, with the cost of those rules placed on the backs of private businesses and individuals.\n\n\u201cWhen I ran for Congress, I made a promise to listen to the concerns of Wyomingites and be their voice in the House of Representatives. In the eighteen town halls I have held since January, and at the many community events I have attended, spending and government overreach by bureaucrats in Washington are the biggest issues mentioned. Just this week, I received hundreds of calls and emails from constituents on this specific bill \u2013 and an overwhelming 95% have urged me to vote no.\n\n\u201cThe legislation fails to significantly reduce our national debt and does not do enough to rein in the administrative state. We have very few opportunities and little time to gain control of the unsustainable debt facing our nation \u2013 it is imperative that raising the debt ceiling be coupled with more aggressive spending cuts and regulatory reform. I look forward to working with the Speaker and my fellow House Republicans to achieve deeper cuts and greater reforms through the appropriations process and with other legislation throughout the rest of the 118thCongress.\u201d\n\nSummary of key concerns with H.R. 3746:\n\nEstablishes FY 2023 as baseline budget \u2013 this fails to revert spending to pre-COVID levels.\n\nSuspends the debt ceiling until 2025, enabling Biden and a divided Congress to generate an untold amount in new federal debt.\n\nWaivable provisions in the bill would only reduce spending against the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) baseline by $1.5 trillion over ten years.\n\nOmits the REINS Act, which was a major reform to the regulatory process and was included in H.R. 2811 - the Limit, Save, Grow Act.\n\nContact: Chris Berardi, Senior Advisor/Communications Director", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:55:44Z"], ["https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-votes-increase-penalties-fentanyl-sale-and-use", "Hageman Votes to Increase Penalties for Fentanyl Sale and Use", "2023-05-25", "2023", "2023-05", "Republican", "House", "WY", "Harriet M.

Currently, a native person\u2019s life expectancy is five and a half years shorter than the average American. Simply spending more money will not solve the IHS problem.

The Greater Yellowstone population was delisted twice before, in 2007 and 2017.

The grizzly bear has been listed as threatened (but not endangered) since 1975, and its original recovery goal was 500 bears. Today, we have nearly 1100 bears in this ecosystem. The population of bears has become so great that they now pose a serious and deadly threat to people and livestock in Wyoming.\n\n\u201cThe goal of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for the Greater Yellowstone Grizzly has clearly been met and we should rightly return species management back to the State of Wyoming. We cannot continue to allow activist courts or agency bureaucrats to block sound species management.\n\n\u201cI appreciate the support of my House cosponsors, Rep. Ryan Zinke, who actually DID attempt to delist the grizzly bear during his service as Secretary of the Interior, and Rep. Matt Rosendale.

Tribal governments already seek to make the best decisions for their members, for their social, cultural, and economic security. We should ensure that Indian lands, whether owned in fee, owned in restricted fee, or held in trust for the benefit of tribes, are able to be used as tribes want to use them. I believe these two bills are a good step forward to ensure that.\"\n\nBackground\n\nStarting in 1984, land transactions with Indians were prohibited unless authorized by Congress. Over time, these restrictions have changed and now generally only apply to land held in trust by the United States for the benefit of individual Indians or Indian tribes. Ensuring tribes can negotiate effectively, and on the same playing field as other landholders, can clear the way for further economic development, especially in rural areas.\n\nH.R. 1246 would authorize any federally recognized Indian tribe to lease its trust land for up to 99 years. H.R. 1532 will exempt tribes from limitations imposed by the Indian Non-Intercourse Act on lands the tribe owns outright that have no restrictions on taxation or alienation. Both bills would ensure these economic tools currently available to certain Indian tribes will be available to all federally recognized tribes.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:30:02Z"], ["https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-votes-transparency-and-parental-rights-education", "Hageman Votes for Transparency and Parental Rights in Education", "2023-03-24", "2023", "2023-03", "Republican", "House", "WY", "Harriet M.

The bill amends the Long Term Leasing Act to allow all federally recognized tribes to enter into 99-year leases.\n\nCongresswoman Hageman stated, \u201cOne of the biggest hindrances to economic development on tribal lands is the uncertainty associated with twenty-five-year lease agreements. Many developers cannot partner with tribes for much needed commercial, retail, or industrial projects without the certainty of longer-term land leases. By extending tribal land leasing we will help to unlock economic potential and streamline development opportunities. As a result, tribes will have greater opportunity to prosper and become more empowered to chart their own future.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nCongress enacted the Act of August 9, 1955, codified at 25 U.S.C. Sec. 415, commonly known as the Long-Term Leasing Act, to overcome the prohibition of the Non-intercourse Act.\n\nThe Long-Term Leasing Act permitted some land transactions between Indian tribes and nonfederal parties--specifically, the leasing of Indian lands.\n\nThe Act required that leases of Indian lands be approved by the Secretary of the Interior and limited lease terms to 25 years.\n\nAs business opportunities and economic considerations changed, leases longer than 25 years were desired.\n\nContact: Chris Berardi, Senior Advisor/Communications Director", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:30:02Z"], ["https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-leads-bill-delist-greater-yellowstone-population-grizzly-bears", "Hageman Leads Bill to Delist Greater Yellowstone Population of Grizzly Bears", "2023-02-28", "2023", "2023-02", "Republican", "House", "WY", "Harriet M.

The Greater Yellowstone population was delisted twice before, in 2007 and 2017. Each time, the delisting was thrown out by activist courts.\n\nHageman stated, \u201cThe Greater Yellowstone population of grizzly bears should have been removed from the endangered and threatened species list fifteen years ago. The grizzly bear has been listed since 1975, and its original recovery goal was 500 bears. Today, the number of bears are more than double that goal and have become a threat to people and livestock in Wyoming. The goal of the Endangered Species Act should always be to stabilize declining populations of wildlife, then remove the species from the list when recovery goals and benchmarks have been met. Unfortunately, like we see in all facets of the federal government, once an agency has control, they are loathe to surrender it for any reason.\n\n\u201cI appreciate the support of my House cosponsors, Rep. Ryan Zinke, who actually DID move to delist the grizzly bear during his service as Secretary of the Interior, and Rep. Matt Rosendale. I would also like to thank Senator Cynthia Lummis for introducing this legislation in the Senate, and for her overall leadership and expertise on this issue \u2013 and Senators Barrasso, Crapo, Daines, and Risch for cosponsoring that legislation.\u201d\n\n\u201cInstead of moving the goal line, we should be celebrating the win \u2013 the Endangered Spices Act worked for grizzly bears in the GYE,\u201d Zinke said. \u201cAs a Congressman, I am demanding the same thing I did as Secretary - If we are managing based on science there must be an offramp for wildlife on the list once their goal is reached. Montana and Wyoming share more than a border, we share wildlife, ecosystems, and the shared responsibility to manage it properly. Congresswoman Hageman is a champion for wildlife management, and I am excited to work closely with her and members in both chambers on this critical piece to ensure they make the right choice for Montana.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe grizzly bear has recovered in Yellowstone, and it\u2019s time to return management back to the states,\u201d said Rep. Rosendale. \u201cRather than keeping in place burdensome, bureaucratic restrictions on Montanans, the grizzly bear population should be responsibly managed using modern science-based methods in collaboration with the communities they impact.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nIn early February, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced it completed its initial review of three petitions to delist grizzly bears in the lower 48 (Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem was one of the three). The Service found that petitions from Montana and Wyoming present substantial information indicating the grizzly bear in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (NCDE) and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) may qualify as their own distinct population segment and may warrant removal from the list of endangered and threatened wildlife. The Service will now initiate a comprehensive status review of the grizzly bear in the NCDE and GYE based on the best available scientific and commercial data available to inform a 12-month finding. If the 12-month finding results in proposing one or more DPSs for delisting, the Service will consider those in the context of the ongoing recovery for the rest of the population in the larger listed entity, and any proposed rule would have additional public notice and comment.\n\nWhile this is a positive development, a legislative solution is needed to prevent any uncertainty, such as that which came the last two times delisting was recommended.\n\nContact: Chris Berardi, Senior Advisor/Communications Director", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:18:08Z"], ["https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/harriet-hageman-address-us-house-representatives-morning", "Harriet Hageman to Address US House of Representatives This Morning", "2023-02-28", "2023", "2023-02", "Republican", "House", "WY", "Harriet M.

This legislation would require the President and federal agencies to obtain the approval of Congress before prohibiting or delaying new energy, coal, or mineral leases or permits on federal lands. This bill is a direct response to President Biden\u2019s ban on new energy leases.\n\nAs an example of the federal overreach that this bill is intended to stop, President Biden issued three directives during his first few days in office that severely impacted oil and natural gas development on federal lands and drove up energy prices for American families. These directives were Secretarial Order 3395, Executive Order 13990, and Executive Order 14008. Of particular importance, Executive Order 14008 imposed an indefinite pause on new oil and natural gas leasing on U.S. federal lands and waters \u201cpending completion of a comprehensive review. No Member of Congress voted on this, and no debate occurred.

By stifling oil, gas, diesel, and coal, families are paying significantly more to put gas in their cars and buy heat for their homes.\n\n\u201cThe President should concede that spending trillions of dollars has led to record high inflation. Anyone that buys groceries or attempts to secure a car loan or mortgage is feeling the pain of inflation and high interest rates. Along with energy poverty, many Americans are now facing food insecurity and a housing crisis.\n\n\u201cFinally, he should tell the truth about the Biden border crisis. Over 4.5 million illegal aliens have crossed our southern border since Joe Biden took office. For perspective, that is nearly EIGHT TIMES the population of Wyoming. In addition to these unvetted illegals, drugs are pouring in as well. Enough fentanyl to kill over 2 billion people has been seized \u2013 and the argument that this means less fentanyl is getting into the country because some is being discovered defies logic. If drug smuggling weren\u2019t bad enough, human trafficking is also at a record high. With this massive invasion, every state is now a border state. Joe Biden and his administration are enabling the largest drug smuggling and human trafficking operating in U.S. history. Had he simply continued the border policies in place under Donald Trump, none of this would be happening.\n\n\u201cIf our President were being honest, we would hear all the above -because this IS the state of our Union. He should follow this accounting with a promise to work with Republicans to regain our energy independence, cut spending to lower inflation, and to secure our southern border \u2013 but sadly, we won\u2019t.\u201d\n\nContact: Chris Berardi, Senior Advisor/Communications Director", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:18:08Z"], ["https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/harriet-hageman-chair-natural-resources-subcommittee-indian-and-insular", "Harriet Hageman to Chair Natural Resources Subcommittee for Indian and Insular Affairs", "2023-02-01", "2023", "2023-02", "Republican", "House", "WY", "Harriet M.
