HR 6009 United States House · 118th Congress

Restoring American Energy Dominance Act

HR 6009, the Restoring American Energy Dominance Act, requires the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to withdraw a specific proposed rule (88 Fed. Reg. 47562, July 24, 2023) concerning fluid mineral leases and leasing processes on public lands. The bill directly affects the BLM’s regulatory authority over oil and gas leasing by prohibiting the agency from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing that rule or any substantially similar rule. This is a procedural bill focused solely on reversing a specific regulatory action, with no new policy provisions or direct impact on energy producers beyond halting the proposed rule.
