A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to "Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program Record of Decision".

What this bill does

  • This resolution cancels a 2024 federal rule that reduced Arctic oil and gas leasing from 1.6 million acres to 1.2 million acres.
  • Oil and gas companies and environmental groups are affected by changes to leasing availability in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
  • The resolution takes immediate effect if passed and restores the previous leasing program without additional cost.
