Just about wrapping up the year with a number of items typically reserved for that time.

House Floor Activity

The remainder of the week will be spent on impeachment, USMCA implementing legislation, and potentially legislation on the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction.
"Additional Legislation Items Are Possible" - most notably some form of appropriations legislation.

Text of whatever agreement they’ve reached will reportedly be available early afternoon.

House Committee Activity

On Tuesday at 10 AM the Conservation subcommittee of Agriculture is holding a hearing on "Access to Conservation Programs by Historically Underserved Farmers and Ranchers."
On Thursday at 3 PM the Environment subcommittee of Oversight is holding a hearing on "Current Economic Effects of Climate Change and the Costs of Inaction."

Senate Floor Activity

The Senate convenes at 3 PM on Monday, with a 5:30 PM cloture vote on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) conference agreement.

Final passage of the NDAA may not occur until Wednesday, depending on how much further objection remains by certain members.

NDAA and appropriations (the aforementioned forthcoming appropriations agreement) are likely to take up most of the week, though it's typical for an end-of-year nominations agreement to be reached whereby a number of nominees are cleared by both parties.

Senate Committee Activity

On Tuesday at 9:30 AM the Environment & Public Works committee is voting on S. 3051, the "America's Conservation Act," as well as Robert Feitel for IG of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
On Tuesday at 9:30 AM the Homeland Security & Government Affairs Committee is voting on the nomination of Paul Ray for OIRA Administrator.
On Tuesday at 10 AM the Energy & Natural Resources committee is holding a hearing on the nomination of Lanny Erdos for Director of the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement.
On Thursday at 9:30 AM the Energy & Natural Resources committee is holding a hearing "to Examine the Impacts of Wildfire on Electric Grid Reliability."
