A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to "National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision".
Summary
This joint resolution disapproves a Bureau of Land Management rule issued on April 25, 2022, regarding the Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision for the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. Under the Congressional Review Act, Congress has authority to overturn federal agency rules, and this resolution exercises that authority to eliminate the rule. The Government Accountability Office determined in July 2025 that the Bureau of Land Management's record of decision constituted a rule subject to the Congressional Review Act. If passed by both chambers and signed into law, the resolution would nullify the rule and prevent the Bureau of Land Management from implementing the decision without further action. The Senate passed the resolution on October 30, 2025.
