Letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan Supporting Use of the Congressional Review Act to Overturn the Bureau of Land Management Waste Production and Resource Conservation Rule (Methane Venting and Flaring Rule)

Dear Mr. Speaker, On behalf of the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) and our 9,000 members who develop over 90 percent of the nation’s oil and natural gas wells, I would like to express our strong support for use of the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Waste Production, Production Subject to Royalties, and Resource Conservation rule (commonly referred to as the BLM methane Venting and Flaring Rule). The Joint Resolution will nullify the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rule by the same name published in the Federal Register on November 18, 2016.
