Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems: Procedures for Facilitating Compliance, Including Netting and Exemptions".

This measure would cancel an EPA rule about how oil and gas companies handle the “waste emissions charge,” including the procedures for compliance, how emissions can be netted, and when exemptions apply. In short, Congress is using its power to disapprove the rule so it would not go into effect. This would stop the EPA’s planned approach for charging and tracking certain emissions from petroleum and natural gas systems .

Key points:

• Who is affected: Operators in the petroleum and natural gas industry; communities near oil and gas sites; and the EPA, which set the rule .
• What changes: The EPA’s rule on the waste emissions charge procedures, netting, and exemptions would be overturned and not take effect .
• When: If enacted, the disapproval would block the rule from moving forward; the document does not give a specific date for the change .
