Natural Gas Tax Repeal Act

This legislative proposal aims to eliminate the federal natural gas tax by repealing Section 136 of the Clean Air Act . This specific section established a methane emissions and waste reduction incentive program for petroleum and natural gas systems, often referred to as the methane fee. The bill further mandates the rescission of any unobligated balances of funds that were previously made available under the repealed Section 136. This action would effectively dismantle the program designed to incentivize methane emission reductions and recover any unspent appropriations.
