This resolution would cancel an EPA regulation that spelled out how oil and gas companies could comply with a fee charged on excess methane leaks and emissions from their operations. Under the underlying program, companies in the oil and gas industry that release more methane (a potent greenhouse gas) than a set limit have to pay the government a charge, and the now-targeted rule gave companies detailed ways to reduce or avoid that charge — for example, by "netting" emissions across their operations or qualifying for exemptions. If this resolution passes, that compliance rule would be wiped out and could not be replaced with something similar later, though the underlying fee program itself would still exist unless separately changed.
