Shale Law in the Spotlight : Use of the Congressional Review Act to Alter Energy and Environmental Policy in the Early Days of the Trump Administration
During his presidential campaign and since taking office, President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed concern about the “burdensome regulations on [the U.S.] energy industry.” He has vowed to “eliminat[e] harmful and unnecessary policies,” which are inconsistent with his energy agenda. Working with Congress, President Trump already has used the Congressional Review Act as a method to alter existing energy and environmental policies since he assumed office.Congress has within its general powers the ability to overturn federal agency rules in conformity with the 1996 Congressional Review Act (CRA). Under the CRA, Members of Congress have sixty “days of continuous session” to introduce a joint resolution of disapproval from the date the rule is received by Congress and published in the Federal Register. If both the House of Representatives and the Senate pass the joint resolution, the President may sign or veto the disapproval joint resolution. Prior to the recent change in Presidential administrations, only one regulation ever had been struck down using the CRA. In March of 2001, President George W. Bush signed into law the repeal of workplace ergonomic rules promulgated by the Clinton Administration's Occupational Safety and Health Administration in the Department of Labor
