WASHINGTON DC (11/19/25) – The American Energy Alliance (AEA) applauds the House of Representatives for passing three Congressional Review Act resolutions that overturn restrictive Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rules and plans imposed by the Biden administration. These rules and plans were designed to lock up responsible energy development on federal lands in Wyoming and Alaska.
The three resolutions passed yesterday are:
- H.J. Res. 130 – Disapproving a BLM resource management plan that severely limits energy development in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. Passed 214–212 with 7 members abstaining.
- H.J. Res. 131 – Disapproving a BLM leasing stipulation that effectively closes the Alaska Coastal Plain to oil and gas activity. Passed 217–209 with 7 members abstaining.
- S.J. Res. 80 – Disapproving a BLM resource management plan that restricts development in the National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska (NPR-A). Passed 216–209 with 8 members abstaining.
Tom Pyle, President of the American Energy Alliance, issued the following statement:
“These three votes represent a major victory for American energy dominance, affordable energy for families, and responsible stewardship of our public lands. For years, the Biden administration used the Bureau of Land Management as a tool to systematically lock up millions of acres of federal land that Congress explicitly set aside for multiple use, including energy production. Today, the People’s House stood up for American workers, consumers, and our national security by reversing these unlawful and ideologically driven restrictions. We urge the Senate to act quickly and send these resolutions to the President’s desk.”
