This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a specific rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) regarding the "National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision." This particular rule was issued by the BLM on April 25, 2022, outlining management plans for the Alaskan reserve. The resolution operates under the framework of chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code , which is the Congressional Review Act, following a determination by the Government Accountability Office that the BLM's record of decision qualifies as a rule. If enacted, this congressional disapproval would render the aforementioned BLM rule to have no force or effect .
