Summary of Bill HJRES 128
Bill 118 hjres 128 is a piece of legislation that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding standards of performance for the oil and natural gas sector. The rule in question, titled "Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review," is being challenged by Congress under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code.
The bill seeks to reject the EPA's rule, which sets standards for emissions from new, reconstructed, and modified sources in the oil and natural gas sector, as well as guidelines for existing sources. The rule is specifically focused on addressing climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the industry.
Supporters of the bill argue that the EPA's rule is overly burdensome and could have negative economic impacts on the oil and natural gas sector. They believe that the rule goes beyond the EPA's authority and could hinder the industry's ability to operate efficiently. Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue that the EPA's rule is necessary to address the urgent threat of climate change and reduce harmful emissions from the oil and natural gas sector. They believe that rejecting the rule would be a step backward in the fight against climate change and could have serious environmental consequences. Overall, Bill 118 hjres 128 is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate over environmental regulations and the role of government in addressing climate change. It remains to be seen how Congress will ultimately decide on the fate of the EPA's rule.
