While rarely utilized in recent years, clause 6 of rule XV, provides for the consideration of certain nonprivileged, reported bills on Wednesday, provided the Chair of the committee has given notice of his intention to utilize Calendar Wednesday at least 72 hours prior to the “Call of Committees” on Wednesday.

These measures are considered under the rules of the House and are subject to amendment, just as under an open rule.
