Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs

The Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs is a specialized panel within the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. As a subcommittee, it conducts initial hearings and reviews legislation within its narrower jurisdiction before matters proceed to the full committee, which retains authority to report bills to the House floor.

This subcommittee focuses on three interconnected policy areas: economic growth and job creation, energy policy and infrastructure, and federal regulatory affairs. Its jurisdiction includes oversight of regulations affecting business competitiveness, federal paperwork reduction, labor policies, and impediments to economic growth. The subcommittee examines how government policies and regulations impact manufacturing, energy reliability, and broader economic conditions for American workers and businesses.

The subcommittee is chaired by Eric Burlison (R-MO), with Maxwell Frost (D-FL) serving as Ranking Member. Recent hearings have addressed artificial intelligence and data center energy demands, energy reliability and infrastructure modernization, liquefied natural gas exports, and domestic manufacturing policy. These hearings reflect the subcommittee's role in scrutinizing how federal energy, regulatory, and economic policies affect American competitiveness and job creation.
