Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to "Miles City Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment".

This measure would cancel a Bureau of Land Management rule for the Miles City Field Office in Montana. The rule it overturns had changed the area’s land plan so that no land was open to coal leasing and 1,745,040 acres were taken off the table for future coal leasing decisions . The resolution specifically targets the “Miles City Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment” issued on November 20, 2024 .

If this resolution becomes law, the BLM’s recent plan change would not take effect. That could reopen the door to considering coal leasing in this BLM field office area, instead of keeping all acres closed as the rule had done .

• Who is affected: People and communities in the Miles City BLM area of Montana; companies interested in coal leasing; and public lands users .
• What changes: It voids the BLM plan amendment that blocked coal leasing across the area (including 1,745,040 acres from future consideration) .
• When: The disapproval applies to the rule issued November 20, 2024; it would take effect if and when the resolution becomes law .
