A joint resolution 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 "National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision".

This joint resolution cancels a 2022 government plan that had closed off about half of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska — a large area of land on Alaska's North Slope — to oil and gas leasing. That 2022 plan had shut down leasing in those areas to protect wildlife and support the food needs of local communities. By canceling the 2022 plan, this resolution reopens those areas for oil and gas leasing and goes back to following an earlier plan from 2020.
