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 "Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review".
SJRES 71 is a congressional resolution seeking to block an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that set emissions standards for the oil and natural gas sector. It directly targets the EPA's "Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources" rule, which was published in the Federal Register on March 8, 2024. The resolution uses a specific disapproval process under federal law to declare the EPA rule "shall have no force or effect." This is a procedural action to overturn an existing regulation, not a new policy.
