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, introduced by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), would use the Congressional Review Act to disapprove an Environmental Protection Agency rule related to climate standards for the oil and natural gas sector. Specifically, the resolution targets an EPA rule that extended deadlines for performance standards applicable to new, reconstructed, and modified sources in the oil and gas industry, as well as emissions guidelines for existing sources.

If enacted, this resolution would invalidate the EPA's deadline extension, potentially requiring the agency to enforce the original timeline for these climate-related standards. This could accelerate compliance requirements for oil and gas companies operating in the United States. The resolution is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in March 2026 and referred to committee. As a binding joint resolution under the Congressional Review Act, it would have the force of law if passed by both chambers and signed by the President, but it has not yet been voted on by the full Senate.
