The U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Clean Air, Climate, and Nuclear Innovation and Safety is a subcommittee of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.

History The subcommittee was formerly known as the Subcommittee on Clean Air, Climate Change, and Nuclear Safety, but was renamed during committee organization of the 110th Congress, after responsibility over global warming issues transferred to the Subcommittees on Public Sector Solutions and Subcommittee on Private Sector Solutions to Global Warming. The subcommittee still retains some inherent oversight over global warming issues due to its jurisdiction over the federal Clean Air Act.

Jurisdiction Clean Air Issues Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) Clean Air Act Indoor Air Air pollution Nuclear Issues Nuclear Regulatory Commission Nuclear Plant Safety Nonmilitary environmental regulation and control of nuclear energy Other issues Tennessee Valley Authority
