GAS LEASING ON FEDERAL LAND.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
Federal environmental and energy policy, which may include
prohibiting any Federal environmental permitting or
regulatory action that would prohibit or substantially delay
new oil and gas, coal, hard rock, or critical mineral

make additional areas of Federal land available for oil and
gas leasing to help lower gasoline prices for consumers and
to reduce United States energy dependence on the Organization

such legislation for those purposes, provided that such
legislation would not increase the deficit over either the
period of the total of fiscal years 2022 through 2026 or the
period of the total of fiscal years 2022 through 2031.
