What it does

Congressional Research Service, Dec 11, 2025

This joint resolution opens certain land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in eastern Montana to coal leasing. Specifically, it nullifies the rule issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) relating to the Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (RMP) Amendment for the Miles City Field Office in Montana. The BLM approved the RMP Amendment on November 20, 2024. The RMP Amendment made no acres available for coal leasing and 1,745,040 acres unavailable for further consideration for coal leasing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
