This joint resolution aims to exercise congressional disapproval, under the Congressional Review Act, of a rule promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency. The targeted rule is titled "Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review: Extension of Deadlines in Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources." The EPA's rule specifically sought to extend certain compliance deadlines for environmental standards affecting the oil and natural gas sector. These standards apply to both new and existing facilities, covering performance for new, reconstructed, and modified sources, and emissions guidelines for existing sources. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively nullify the EPA's action , preventing the extension of these deadlines. Consequently, the original, stricter deadlines for compliance with climate review standards for the oil and natural gas sector would remain in force. This legislative action represents a direct challenge to the EPA's regulatory authority regarding environmental compliance timelines within the energy industry.
