Comment from the American Exploration & Production Council (“AXPC”)

Summary: The American Exploration and Production Council (AXPC), a national trade association representing independent oil and natural gas companies, supports the Department of the Interior's request to modify or repeal burdensome regulations. They argue for streamlining NEPA reviews, rescinding the 2024 Conservation and Landscape Health Rule, and implementing a "permit-by-rule" system to improve the efficiency of drilling permit issuance.
