View in your browser     House takes up bills targeting EPA regs By Timothy Cama The House will move in the coming week on a trio of regulatory and energy bills. The Rules Committee has scheduled a meeting Monday to begin looking at the three proposals: the Satisfying Energy Needs and Saving the Environment Act, the Blocking Regulatory Interference from Closing Kilns Act and the Comprehensive Regulatory Review Act. The House is likely to take up the bills in the days following the committee's meeting. The first two bills seek to change Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations to benefit specific industries. The Satisfying Energy Needs and Saving the Environment Act would exempt certain power plants that burn coal refuse from parts of a major 2012 air pollution rule. The Blocking Regulatory Interference from Closing Kilns Act, meanwhile, would delay implementation of a 2015 rule on air pollution from brick kilns. The committee is also due to consider the Comprehensive Regulatory Review Act, which would expand federal agencies' responsibilities to regularly review their rules and policies for potential repeals or changes.     Elsewhere in the House, the Natural Resources Committee will meet for a Tuesday hearing on exploring ways to reduce the Interior Department's maintenance backlog in agencies like the National Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service. The Natural Resources Committee will also meet Wednesday to vote on three bills concerning strategic minerals, Western federal land transfers and federal land in the Virgin Islands.  Also on Wednesday, the House Energy and Commerce Committee's environment subcommittee has scheduled a hearing on the future of transportation fuels. In the House Oversight Committee, lawmakers in the interior subcommittee are planning a Tuesday hearing on the Army Corps of Engineers. On the other side of Capitol Hill, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee will meet Tuesday to hear from James Reilly II, President Trump's nominee to be director of the U.S. Geological Survey.   Recent stories Greens launch ads against Republicans who voted for drilling in Arctic refuge  Energy companies warn about effect of steel tariff on US industry  Exxon to end Russia joint ventures  Pruitt: My next flight will be coach  Panel recommends Zinke cut offshore drilling royalty rates by a third  US solar company to lay off hundreds of workers after Trump tariffs  Senators say DOE may have reimbursed contractor for fighting whistleblower claims  'No deal made' as GOP senators meet with Trump on ethanol mandate  US forecast to be world's top oil producer by next year     Join The Hill on Wednesday, March 21, for Leadership in Action: The Hill's Newsmaker Series featuring Sen.

View in your browser     Military brass to defend budget request By Ellen Mitchell Military leaders will be on Capitol Hill in the coming week to make the case for the Pentagon's fiscal 2019 budget request. The most notable figures include Navy Secretary Richard Spencer, Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Robert Neller and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson, who are set to testify before the Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee. The Trump administration last month revealed a $716 billion defense budget request for fiscal 2019. The amount includes $686 billion for the Pentagon, split between $617 billion for the base budget and $69 billion for a war fund known as the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) account. Of that, the Navy's budget request is $194.1 billion, including OCO, with $151.4 billion in the base budget. Those billions would support 7,500 more active-duty sailors and 1,000 Marines, in addition to 11,500 active-duty soldiers, 4,000 active-duty airmen. The service is also asking for $21.9 billion for 10 new ships and $19 billion for dozens of new fighter aircraft. The defense officials won't have to make too much of a case to get the requested amount. Congress has already agreed to a two-year budget deal that sets defense spending at $700 billion for FY-18 and $716 billion for FY-19. Those dollars are for the Pentagon as well as non-Pentagon defense spending such as the Energy Department's nuclear weapons programs. Expect to hear questions on growing the Navy's fleet at the hearings, including how long it's expected to take, as well as issues with retaining sailors in a service dealing with the ship collision controversy last year. Spencer, Neller and Richardson will testify before the House Appropriations defense subcommittee at 10 a.m. Wednesday in the House side of the Capitol Building, room H-140.     There are several other congressional committee hearings as well as outside events on tap for the coming week.
