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 "Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems: Procedures for Facilitating Compliance, Including Netting and Exemptions".

This joint resolution would cancel an EPA rule published on November 18, 2024, that set up procedures for complying with the Methane Emissions Reduction Program. That program requires oil and gas companies to pay a yearly fee if they release more than a certain amount of methane and other greenhouse gases. The canceled rule explained how companies could follow the rules, including ways to offset emissions and qualify for exemptions.
