House Energy and Water Appropriations Bill Draft Released

Today, the House Appropriations Committee released its draft of the FY 2020 Energy and Water Appropriations bill. The proposal provides $1.3 billion for the Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy, an increase of $494 million above the initial FY 2020 request. It also includes funding to "begin interim storage activities."
 
The subcommittee will meet to markup the appropriations bill tomorrow, at 12:00 p.m. EST. You can view the hearing HERE. However, no amendments are expected and the detailed Committee Report will not be publicly available until shortly before the full House Appropriations Committee markup, likely next week.
