# Rules Committee Hearing H.R. 9596, 10326, H.J. Res. 210, 213, SA to H.R. 5334

The House Rules Committee convened on September 15, 2026, to consider several legislative measures including two Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolutions aimed at disapproving Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules related to California's non-road engine pollution control standards for oceangoing vessels and commercial harbor craft. The committee also discussed the Senate amendments to HR 5334, the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, which includes sanctions and tariff authorities targeting Russia and Iran. Debate centered on the impact of these EPA waivers on fuel costs and supply chains, the legality and effectiveness of the CRA resolutions, and concerns about broad tariff powers granted to the president. Additionally, the committee considered HR 9576, the Proof Act, which seeks to codify the National Fraud Enforcement Division to enhance federal efforts against government fraud. Members debated the administration's handling of fraud enforcement and the political implications of pardons issued by President Trump. Several amendments to the rules governing these bills were proposed and voted on, but none passed. The committee ultimately approved the rules for consideration of the bills and amendments, with the majority and minority managers designated for floor debate. The meeting highlighted partisan disagreements over environmental regulations, sanctions policy, fraud enforcement, and the legislative agenda's focus amid ongoing economic and geopolitical challenges.
