Enacted
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 Buffalo Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment.
This resolution overturns a Bureau of Land Management policy that stopped new federal coal leasing across public lands in northeastern Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. By wiping out that restriction, the measure keeps federal coal reserves in the area open to new commercial leases and mining. It also prevents the agency from putting a similar leasing ban into place in the future without congressional approval.
People affected—Not determinable from the operative text, which targets a local agency management plan amendment without providing population or demographic data.
Fiscal magnitude—Not determinable from the operative text, which contains no appropriations, revenue measures, or direct dollar amounts.
