What it does
Congressional Research Service, Mar 14, 2025This joint resolution eliminates an annual waste emissions charge on oil or gas facilities under the Methane Emissions Reduction Program. Under the program, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently collects a waste emissions charge from specific types of oil or gas facilities, such as onshore or offshore facilities that produce oil or gas, for exceeding emission thresholds for greenhouse gas emissions and methane emissions.
Specifically, the joint resolution nullifies the rule titled Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems: Procedures for Facilitating Compliance, Including Netting and Exemptions and published by the EPA on November 18, 2024.
