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 "National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision".
Summary
What This Bill Does
This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to disapprove a Bureau of Land Management rule identified in the bill title. If enacted, the submitted BLM rule would have no force or effect.
Who Benefits and How
Regulated public-land users benefit if the disapproved BLM rule would have imposed new operating, reporting, permitting, or land-use obligations. Businesses and land users affected by the rule gain relief from that regulatory framework.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Bureau of Land Management loses the rule as an implementation and enforcement tool. Public-land conservation interests or communities that supported the rule may lose expected protections or procedural requirements.
Key Provisions
- Disapproves the submitted Bureau of Land Management rule under the Congressional Review Act.
- Provides that the rule has no force or effect.
- Reduces compliance obligations for regulated public-land users.
- Removes BLM's ability to implement or enforce the disapproved rule.
- Blocks BLM from implementing the disapproved rule.
- Limits future use of a substantially similar public-land rule unless Congress authorizes it.
