This document is a joint resolution, S.J.Res. 62, introduced in the Senate on July 10, 2025, by Senators Cramer and Hoeven. Its purpose is to disapprove a rule issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) related to the "North Dakota Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan." Specifically, the resolution aims to nullify the BLM's rule issued on January 14, 2025. The resolution cites a Government Accountability Office (GAO) opinion, dated June 25, 2025, which concluded that the BLM's record of decision and approved resource management plan qualifies as a rule under the Congressional Review Act. The resolution was placed on the calendar in the Senate on October 7, 2025, after being discharged from the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources by petition. If passed, this resolution would prevent the BLM's North Dakota Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan from taking effect.
