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 "Central Yukon Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan".
Summary
What This Bill Does
This joint resolution disapproves the Bureau of Land Management's Central Yukon Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan under the Congressional Review Act. The text cites a Government Accountability Office opinion concluding that the BLM planning decision is a CRA-covered rule. The legal result is that the Central Yukon Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan has no force or effect for the Central Yukon planning area in Alaska.
Who Benefits and How
Mining companies, oil and gas developers, transportation or utility corridor sponsors, and other Alaska public-land project applicants benefit because the resolution removes the Central Yukon plan as a binding planning-level constraint. Those actors may have more flexibility to seek leases, rights-of-way, exploration approvals, and development permits under prior or remaining land-management rules.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Bureau of Land Management bears the burden of administering Central Yukon lands without relying on the disapproved plan and of reprocessing land-use questions through other authorities. Conservation groups, wildlife advocates, Alaska Native communities with subsistence interests, and residents concerned about habitat or corridor impacts lose the specific planning protections or limits that the Central Yukon decision supplied, and BLM cannot simply reissue a substantially similar CRA-covered rule without new authorization.
Key Provisions
- Blocks the BLM Central Yukon Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan from having force or effect under the Congressional Review Act.
- Limits BLM from issuing a substantially similar replacement rule unless Congress authorizes it.
- Directs future land-use, leasing, grazing, or right-of-way decisions back to remaining statutes, prior plans, and site-specific review.
