Bill Summary
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".
AI Summary
This joint resolution aims to disapprove a rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) regarding the Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program Record of Decision, which was issued on December 9, 2024. The resolution is using the Congressional Review Act (CRA), a mechanism that allows Congress to review and potentially nullify federal regulations issued by government agencies. Specifically, the resolution declares that the BLM's rule concerning oil and gas leasing in the coastal plain will have no legal force or effect, effectively blocking the implementation of the agency's decision. The resolution was supported by a Government Accountability Office (GAO) letter dated August 25, 2025, which concluded that the BLM's record of decision qualifies as a rule under the Congressional Review Act. By passing this resolution, Congress would be exercising its oversight authority to prevent the BLM's proposed oil and gas leasing program from being implemented.
