Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to "Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program Record of Decision".

This resolution cancels a rule from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) made in December 2024 about oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska. The 2024 rule had replaced an earlier 2020 rule that opened up about 1.6 million acres for oil and gas leasing. The 2024 rule blocked off about 1.2 million of those acres to protect natural resources, while still keeping 400,000 acres available for oil and gas leasing as required by law. By canceling the 2024 rule, this resolution would undo those protections and restrictions.
