Congress Blocks New Rules for Fluid Mineral Leases on Public Lands.

This Congressional resolution aims to reject a recent rule proposed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) concerning the process for leasing public lands for fluid mineral extraction, such as oil and gas. If passed, the BLM rule will be nullified, meaning any new requirements or changes to fees and environmental standards introduced by that rule will not take effect. This action maintains the existing leasing procedures, impacting energy policy and environmental oversight on federal lands.
Key points
The resolution seeks to disapprove and void a specific BLM rule related to oil and gas leasing procedures.
If successful, the existing, older rules for leasing public lands for mineral extraction will remain in force.
This prevents the implementation of potentially stricter regulations or higher costs for energy companies operating on federal property.
