How have House and Senate committees responded—have there been hearings, subpoenas, or oversight letters about the DOE decision?

Executive summary: Available reporting in the provided search results does not directly mention any House or Senate hearings, subpoenas, or oversight letters specifically about a Department of Energy (DOE) decision; the congressional committee schedules and hearing pages in the results show general committee activity but do not include a named DOE oversight action in these excerpts ^{[1] [2] [3]}. The sources do show that Congress publishes weekly committee schedules and that committee webpages list hearings — meaning if committees acted, the record would appear through those official schedules or committee hearing pages ^{[1] [2] [4]}.

1. Congress publishes committee schedules but the excerpts don’t name DOE oversight

The Library of Congress committee-schedule pages repeatedly aggregate weekly House and Senate committee meetings and hearings; the items you’ll find there are the authoritative public listings for committee activity, but the search-result snippets provided show items about BLM rule disapprovals and other docketed hearings rather than any DOE-focused oversight or subpoenas in these excerpts ^{[1] [2] [3]}. That means the mechanism for tracking whether committees have held hearings or issued subpoenas exists and is public, but the exact DOE action you asked about is not visible in the quoted schedule snippets ^{[1] [2]}.

2. Committee webpages are the next stop — they list hearings but the samples don’t cite DOE

Individual committee sites (for example, Senate committee hearing pages and House radio-television schedules) post hearing calendars and subject-matter listings; the results include the Senate Commerce and Energy & Natural Resources hearing pages and the House Rules meeting notice, showing how committees announce and document hearings ^{[5] [6] [3]}. However, the provided page excerpts focus on other topics (nominees, BLM rule disapproval, and general schedules) and do not mention an investigation, subpoena, or oversight letter related to a DOE decision in the material returned here ^{[3] [5] [6]}.

3. Subpoenas and letters often appear in press releases or committee records — not found in these snippets

When committees issue subpoenas or oversight letters, they commonly publish those notices on committee press-release pages or on the House/Senate committee repositories; the Library of Congress schedule consolidates hearings but not necessarily every letter or subpoena text. The search results provided do not include any committee press release or repository entry showing subpoenas or oversight letters about a DOE decision, so available sources do not mention subpoenas or oversight letters in this dataset ^{[1] [2] [4]}.

4. Examples in these results show other agency oversight — a lesson in where to look

The search excerpts show multiple instances where committees considered agency-related matters (for example, multiple House Rules items dealing with Bureau of Land Management decisions) which illustrate the typical pathway for congressional oversight: a committee posts a hearing or a resolution on its schedule and sometimes follows with letters or subpoenas if warranted ^[3]. By analogy, if a DOE decision had triggered congressional action, you would expect to find a similar footprint on the committee schedules or on relevant committee hearing pages ^{[1] [3]}.

5. How to confirm whether committees have taken action (practical next steps)

To establish whether House or Senate committees have held hearings, issued subpoenas, or sent oversight letters about a specific DOE decision, check the following authoritative public records: the Library of Congress committee-schedule weekly pages for recent weeks, the relevant House and Senate committee hearing pages and press-release sections (for example Energy and Natural Resources or Oversight committees), and the committee repositories for letters or subpoena notices — all of which are reflected in the types of pages returned by these search results ^{[1] [2] [6] [4]}. The snippets provided show these sources exist and are the right places to search, but they do not themselves document the DOE matter you asked about ^{[1] [2] [4]}.

Limitations and caveats: The supplied search results are a set of committee schedule and hearings pages and do not include full press releases, committee letters, or subpoena text; therefore, this summary cannot confirm the absence of congressional action beyond the provided excerpts. Available sources do not mention a DOE-specific hearing, subpoena, or oversight letter in these results ^{[1] [2] [3]}. If you want definitive confirmation, I can re-run searches targeted to specific committees (House Oversight, House Energy and Commerce, Senate Energy and Natural Resources, Senate Homeland/Appropriations) or look for committee press releases and the committee repositories for the relevant timeframe.
