United States Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Clean Air and Nuclear Safety

The U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Clean Air and Nuclear Safety is one of six subcommittees of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. The subcommittee's jurisdiction includes:

*Clean Air Act
*Indoor Air
*Tennessee Valley Authority
*Economic Development Administration
*Nuclear Plant Security and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

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 when responsilibity over global warming issues was 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 judrisdiction over the federal Clean Air Act.

The subcommittee is chaired by Tom Carper of Delaware, and the Ranking Member is George Voinovich of Ohio.
