This joint resolution tells Congress to reject a rule issued by the Interior Department’s Office of Natural Resources Revenue that changes how the federal government values oil, gas, and Indian coal. By disapproving the rule, the resolution would stop the new valuation method from taking effect, keeping the previous system in place. The action affects the Department of the Interior, oil and gas leaseholders, and Indian coal operators.

Key Provisions

  • Congress disapproves the final rule on consolidated federal oil and gas and federal and Indian coal valuation reform, so the rule would have no legal force.
