PERMITTING BILL TO GET FLOOR VOTE - The House is tentatively slated to vote this week on legislation (H.R. 2021) that would set a six-month deadline for the EPA to take final action on permits to drill in federal waters off Alaska after companies submit their applications. It also would limit opponents' ability to appeal the permits. The Rules Committee meets to set up the vote Tuesday at 5 p.m. in H-313, U.S. Capitol.

HOLDING PATTERN - A promised Senate Energy and Natural Resources markup on offshore drilling legislation and other pending bills has been postponed again and will not be on this week's schedule. 'Not to worry, it's coming,' panel spokesman Bill Wicker said. Talks on the offshore drilling bill appear to be the main culprit in the delay.

FULL DISCLOSURE - The natural gas industry is increasingly supporting proposals that would require companies to disclose the chemicals they use in fracking, especially as the practice comes under increasing public scrutiny. The latest sign is in Texas, where Republican Gov. Rick Perry signed a bill into law Friday that requires companies to disclose their chemicals at every drilling site, The Wall Street Journal reports: http://on.wsj.com/lLL7Qi
