BLM's plan provides for the management of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, which is an approximately 23-million-acre area on Alaska’s North Slope. The&nbsp;2022 plan replaced the 2020 plan and closed approximately 48% of the reserve to oil and gas leasing&nbsp;in order to protect certain surface resources and uses, such as protecting wildlife and providing subsistence&nbsp;for communities. Thus, the joint resolution removes the protections provided under the 2022 plan and reverts to the 2020 plan.</p>","updateDate":"2025-12-09T13:39:07Z"},"markets":[],"stateBills":[],"meta":{"sources":["congress.gov"],"latencyMs":318,"ts":"2026-04-19T08:25:40.932Z"},"nextActions":{"inspect":[],"related":[{"description":"Search related legislation","method":"GET","url":"/api/public/query-gov?q=Providing%20for%20congressional%20disapproval%20under%20chapter%208%20of%20t"}]}}
