Letter to Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke on the Bureau of Land Management Rule on Waste Prevention, Production Subject to Royalties, and Resource Conservation (Venting and Flaring)

Dear Secretary Zinke, IPAA has been working diligently with members of Congress to support use of the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overturn the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) regulation entitled Waste Prevention, Production Subject to Royalties, and Resource Conservation Rule, which is commonly referred to as the venting and flaring rule. While our preferred method is repeal through the CRA as it would quickly overturn the overreaching regulation, we are pleased to see the Presidential EO includes language to rescind the order. IP AA supports any and all efforts to overturn this harmful regulation that was finalized in the eleventh hour of the Obama Administration.
