Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
No deadline extensions for oil and gas
This bill would void one EPA rule. It would disapprove the rule published at 90 Fed. Reg. 55671 (Dec. 3, 2025). If enacted, that EPA rule would have no force or effect. Owners and operators in the oil and gas sector and the state and federal agencies that enforce emissions standards would be affected. Some companies would lose the extended compliance deadlines and would face earlier compliance costs. Nearby communities would see emissions controls come sooner.
