This joint resolution aims to exercise congressional authority to disapprove a specific rule submitted by the Department of the Interior. The targeted rule, titled "Oil and Gas and Sulfur Operations in the Outer Continental Shelf-High Pressure High Temperature Updates," was published in the Federal Register on August 30, 2024. By disapproving this rule under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, Congress intends to ensure that the Department of the Interior's regulation will have no force or effect . This action would effectively nullify the updated provisions related to high-pressure, high-temperature operations in offshore drilling.
