HR 9022 Introduced – FRY 2027 EWR Spending

Last month, Rep Fleischmann (R,TN) introduced HR 9022, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2027. The House Appropriations Committee published their Report on the bill. There is one cybersecurity mention in the bill and 10 discussions in the Report. The Report also contains 14 chemical processing discussions. 

HR 9022 is similar to HR 4553, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026, that was introduced by Fleischmann in July of 2025. The Committee Report was published. That bill passed in the House in September by a near party-line vote of 214 to 213. No action was taken on the bill in the Senate. The EWR spending was eventually included in HR 6938, the Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026, minibus. 

Moving Forward  

The House Rules Committee has a rule hearing scheduled for June 23, 2023. HR 9022 is one of the four bills currently scheduled for inclusion in the rule. To date, 123 potential amendments have been submitted to the Committee. Three of those amendments deal with DOE’s Cybersecurity, Energy Security, And Emergency Response (CESER) funding.
