The '''U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources''' or '''Natural Resources Committee''' (often referred to as simply '''Resources''') is a [[U.S. Congressional committee|Congressional committee]] of the [[United States House of Representatives]].  Originally called the '''Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs''' (1951), the name was changed to the '''Committee on Natural Resources''' in 1991.  The name was shortened to the '''Committee on Resources''' in 1995 by the new chairman, [[Don Young]] (at the same time, the committee took over the duties of the [[List of defunct United States congressional committees|now-defunct]] Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee). Following the Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives in 2006, the name of the committee was changed back to its title used between 1991 and 1995.<ref name=rahall/>

==Subcommittees==
[[File:KMcCarthy.jpg|thumb|Representative [[Kevin McCarthy]] (R) at an oversight hearing of the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water and Power]]
In the [[111th Congress]], the number of subcommittees was reduced from 5 to 4. The Subcommittees on Insular Affairs and Fisheries, Wildlife and Oceans were merged into the [[United States House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Insular Affairs, Oceans and Wildlife|Subcommittee on Insular Affairs, Oceans and Wildlife]]. In the [[112th Congress]], the number was again increased to 5, adding the Subcommittee on Indian and Alaska Native Affairs.

During the committee's official reorganization for the [[113th Congress]], the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands was renamed the Subcommittee on [[United States House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation|Public Lands and Environmental Regulation]]<ref name=reorganization/>

When former Chairman [[Doc Hastings]] of Washington retired from Congress, [[Rob Bishop]] of Utah took over as the committee's new chairman at the beginning of the 114th Congress. Congressman Bishop began the process of hiring new staff and reorganized the committee's structure as his predecessors had done.<ref name=staff1/><ref name=staff2/> The chairman eliminated the [[United States House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, Oceans and Insular Affairs|Fisheries, Wildlife, Oceans and Insular Affairs subcommittee]] and split its duties between the renamed [[United States House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Indian, Insular and Alaska Native Affairs|Indian, Insular and Alaska Native Affairs]] and [[United States House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Power and Oceans|Water, Power and Oceans]] subcommittees. The chairman also created a new [[United States House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations|Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations]], keeping the total number of subcommittees at five<ref name=subcommittee/>

The chairman also transferred jurisdiction over the [[National Environmental Policy Act]] and the [[Endangered Species Act]] from the former [[United States House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation|Public Lands and Environmental Regulation]] and established a renamed the [[United States House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Federal Lands|Subcommittee on Federal Lands]].<ref name=subcommittee/>
