Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems: Procedures for Facilitating Compliance, Including Netting and Exemptions".
This resolution seeks congressional disapproval of an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that established procedures for petroleum and natural gas companies to comply with waste emissions charges, including netting and exemptions. If passed, it would prevent the EPA rule (published November 18, 2024) from taking effect, removing its requirements for affected companies. The bill directly impacts oil and gas operators subject to the EPA's emissions charge system by blocking a specific regulatory framework. It uses the statutory disapproval process under Title 5, U.S. Code, to halt the rule without creating new policy. The resolution does not alter emissions standards or create new obligations - it only stops the EPA rule from being enforced.
