A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management relating to "Protection of Marine Archaeological Resources".

What this bill does

  • This joint resolution cancels a federal rule requiring oil and gas operators to submit archaeological reports before drilling on the ocean shelf.
  • The rule affects oil and gas companies seeking permits to explore or develop resources on the Outer Continental Shelf.
  • The cancellation takes effect immediately upon passage and revererts requirements to only apply when a regional director suspects archaeological resources may be present.

    How might removing the mandatory archaeological reporting requirement affect the discovery and protection of underwater cultural sites on the Outer Continental Shelf?

  2. 02

    What trade-offs exist between streamlining the permitting process for oil and gas operators and ensuring adequate archaeological assessment before ocean drilling?

  3. 03

    Under the revised standard requiring reports only when a regional director suspects archaeological resources, how would officials determine which areas warrant archaeological evaluation?
