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 "Central Yukon Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan".
Summary
This joint resolution proposes to use the Congressional Review Act to nullify a specific rule issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) regarding the Central Yukon region of Alaska. The rule in question, finalized in late 2024, established a new Resource Management Plan that governs how millions of acres of federal public land are used. Specifically, the plan designated approximately 3.6 million acres as areas of critical environmental concern or research natural areas, which typically limits certain types of commercial activity and resource extraction.
