Representative Harriet Hageman (R-WY) sponsored H.J.Res. 130, a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution of disapproval, which would reverse the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Buffalo Field Office Resource Management Plan (RMP). The CRA is an extreme and blunt tool that is being used by anti-environment members of Congress who want to permanently strip away protections for our environment, communities, wildlife, and natural heritage. Using the CRA on an agency RMP is unprecedented and inconsistent with the CRA statute and the practices of developing and revising management plans across both Republican and Democratic administrations. Not only would this resolution of disapproval open up over half a million acres of public lands to coal mining, it also sets a dangerous precedent that could prevent federal land management agencies from adopting any land use plans for any activities included in previous plans, throwing our land management system into chaos by undermining agency ability to issue management guidance. On November 18, the House approved H.J.Res. 130 by a vote of 214-212 (House roll call vote 294). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate approved H.J.Res. 130 on November 20, and the president signed it on December 11.
