Summary

This joint resolution eliminates an annual waste emissions charge on oil or gas facilities under the Methane Emissions Reduction Program.

Specifically, the joint resolution nullifies the rule titled Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems: Procedures for Facilitating Compliance, Including Netting and Exemptions and published by the EPA on November 18, 2024.
