A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to "National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision".
Congress voids a Bureau of Land Management decision governing the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. Using the Congressional Review Act, the resolution disapproves the BLM's National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision, issued April 25, 2022, and provides that the rule shall have no force or effect. The resolution rests on a Government Accountability Office opinion dated July 24, 2025 that treats the record of decision as a rule subject to the Congressional Review Act.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 10 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 20 quarterly reports filed by 10 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: Defenders of Wildlife; League of Conservation Voters; Alaska Wilderness League Action; Americans for Prosperity; Human Rights Campaign. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 5 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
