The Leadership of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Part 1 of 2) HouseResourceOrg 2011-12-16 | The Leadership of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Part 1 of 2) - House Oversight Committee - 2011-12-14 - This hearing will focus on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in the wake of reports that the NRC's Chairman has abused his office and mismanaged his responsibilities to the detriment of the commission's critical work. The concerns about the Chairman are shared amongst the four commissioners - two Democrats and two Republicans. Three of the four were appointed by President Obama. Their joint complaints are not about differences in policy or safety with the Chairman. Rather, their concern involves how the Chairman exercises his responsibilities, intimidates staff, and undermines the law put in place by Congress designating the commission - not the chairman - as the agency's ultimate authority. An investigation undertaken by the committee has exposed a hostile work environment that is detrimental to the mission of the NRC. It is a detriment to the staff, the Commissioners, and the reputation of the agency. While Chairman Jaczko professes that safety is his number one priority, his leadership style is simultaneously eroding the NRC's ability to execute its mission. It is important that we understand the root cause of this problem and restore the public's confidence in the integrity of this agency. Video provided by U.S. House of Representatives.

Pay for Performance: Should Fannie and Freddie Executives Be Receiving Millions In Bonuses? HouseResourceOrg 2011-12-12 | Pay for Performance: Should Fannie and Freddie Executives Be Receiving Millions In Bonuses? - House Oversight Committee - 2011-11-16 - This hearing will examine the validity of bonuses paid out to executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In the aftermath of the financial crisis, President Obama offered direct and pointed criticism of entities that received taxpayer dollars but continued to pay executives millions of dollars in compensation and bonuses calling the payments "obscene" and "shameful." Since entering a conservatorship status, Fannie and Freddie have become de facto arms of the government and have received 69 billion from the Treasury Department and still have an outstanding balance of 41 billion owed to the taxpayers. Despite this outstanding balance, Fannie and Freddie's top six executives received 5 million in compensation. Of that, 2.79 million were bonuses awarded to Fannie and Freddie's top ten executives. This hearing asks important questions on behalf of the American taxpayers who are footing the bill for Fannie and Freddie. Is the concept of pay-for-performance being applied appropriately? Should these executives of a government-sponsored entity profit while taxpayers foot the bill? What measurable standards, if any, are in place to properly and accurately evaluate performance? Are these bonuses being awarded for your efforts to minimize losses for taxpayers or are they payouts to for the degrees in which you help the Obama Administration achieve a policy agenda?

Lights Out II: Another Look at EPAs Utility MACT Rule HouseResourceOrg 2011-12-12 | Lights Out II: Another Look at EPA's Utility MACT Rule - House Oversight Committee - 2011-11-01 - The Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is projected to cost utilities and power generators 0.9 billion in compliance costs every year. In EPA's rush to enact these rules, the agency cut corners by ignoring a comprehensive cost analysis, hurried through the rulemaking process, and acted under a false sense of urgency driven by EPA allies using a sue-and-settle approach. Today's hearing will give the Oversight Committee and the public a forum to assess EPA's rulemaking process, hold the agency accountable for its decisions, and understand what action is needed in the future to ensure that the regulatory process works with--not against--job creators and consumers.
