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 "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".
This joint resolution seeks congressional disapproval of an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that would have extended deadlines for oil and gas companies to meet emissions standards under the "Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review." The rule, published in the Federal Register on December 3, 2025 (90 Fed. Reg. 55671), aimed to delay compliance with existing emissions guidelines for new and modified sources. If enacted, this resolution would block the EPA rule from taking effect, requiring companies to adhere to the original deadlines instead of the extended timelines. The measure directly affects oil and gas industry compliance obligations under federal environmental regulations.
