This joint resolution aims to disapprove a specific rule issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) concerning the Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program Record of Decision . The resolution leverages the authority granted to Congress under the Congressional Review Act , following a determination by the Government Accountability Office that the BLM's record of decision constitutes a "rule." By passing this resolution, Congress intends to prevent the implementation of the BLM's decision, which was issued on December 9, 2024. If enacted, the disapproved rule would be rendered without any legal force or effect, thereby halting the oil and gas leasing program for the Coastal Plain as outlined in that decision.
