SJRES 76 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Extension of Deadlines in Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review Final Rule".

SJRES 76 is a joint resolution seeking to block an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that extended deadlines for oil and natural gas companies to meet emissions standards. The rule, published in the Federal Register on July 31, 2025, would have delayed compliance with existing climate-related regulations for these companies. If passed, this resolution would prevent the EPA rule from taking effect, requiring companies to meet the original deadlines instead. It uses the Congressional Review Act - a standard procedure for Congress to disapprove agency rules - to formally reject the EPA's extension.
