The House Committee on Natural Resources’ section of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act saves taxpayers $20 billion, unleashes American energy dominance, ensures affordable energy for American families, and creates jobs across the country.
Here is what stakeholders are saying:
Alaska Forest Association, Tessa Axelson, Executive Director: “This letter is provided to indicate the Alaska Forest Association’s (AFA’s) support for the House Natural Resources Committee’s Reconciliation Committee Print released on May 1, 2025…The Reconciliation Bill you have released provides both the direction to the USFS to deliver the supply guaranteed in the 2016 Plan, and the opportunity for longer-term sales. This will allow our operators to invest in new equipment, enter longer-term contracts with existing and new customers, and expand their operations which in turn supports more local, rural jobs that pay a year-round living wage.”
Alaska Miners Association, Deantha Skibinski, Executive Director: “The Alaska Miners Association (AMA) writes in strong support of several sections contained in the House Natural Resources reconciliation package released this week…With regards to mining in Alaska, we strongly support Section 80132, on the Ambler Road in Alaska. The recission of the Biden Administration’s record of decision (ROD), and replacement with the 2020 ROD, is the moral and legal thing to do…Because a healthy mining industry in Alaska is boosted by a healthy oil and gas industry in Alaska, AMA is also very supportive of Sections 80121, on leasing of the Coastal Plain in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), and 80122, which returns a responsible energy leasing program for the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska…Finally, AMA wishes to express support for Section 80151, which allows a project sponsor or permittee to pay fees toward the costs of their agency regulation and preparation of National EnvironmentalPolicy Act (NEPA) processes.”
Alaska Oil and Gas Association, Kara Moriarty, President and Chief Executive Officer: “The Alaska Oil and Gas Association (AOGA) writes to express support for the oil and gas provisions included in the budget reconciliation package under consideration by the Committee, particularly those sections specific to Alaska. These provisions represent steps toward restoring responsible energy development and regulatory certainty in the state, while also reaffirming Alaska’s role in America’s energy future.”

Duncan, President: “On behalf of the American Battlefield Trust, a national nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of our nation’s historic battlefields, I want to express our strong support of federal funding for America’s 250th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence.”
American Coal Council, Emily Arthun, Chief Executive Officer: “The American Coal Council (ACC) is writing in support of the reconciliation text presented by the House Committee on Natural Resources supporting American mining, specifically coal. The ACC uniquely represents the entire coal supply chain, a vital industry and way of life for millions of Americans.”
American Conservation Coalition Action, Chris Barnard, President: “On behalf of the American Conservation Coalition Action (ACC Action) and our 75,000 young leaders
across the country, I write to express strong support for provisions in the House Committee on Natural Resources Reconciliation Committee Print that would streamline permitting processes for clean American energy and expand access to domestic geothermal energy and critical minerals.”
American Exploration and Mining Association, Mark Compton, Executive Director: “The American Exploration & Mining Association (AEMA) wishes to express our support for the Reconciliation Committee Print, under consideration today. This legislation will place the United States on the path to a more secure mineral supply chain.”
American Exploration and Production Council, Wendy Kirchoff, Senior Vice President of Policy: “AXPC writes this letter in strong support for the legislative proposals to comply with the current reconciliation directive. These provisions would significantly enhance America's energy security while generating substantial revenue for the federal government through common-sense reforms to our federal leasing and permitting processes.”

Now more than ever, the country is at a juncture where it must ensure energy security, ease of permitting, and reliability for Federal lands and waters. For the past 50 years, there has been a trend away from wealth-generating activities in favor of inactivity and complacency. However, the House Natural Resources Committee’s reconciliation markup presents an opportunity to reverse this trend and make significant progress for the future.”
Better in Our Backyard, Ryan Sistad, Executive Director: “On behalf of Better In Our Back Yard, I am writing in strong support of Section 80131, Superior National Forest Lands in Minnesota, of the House Natural Resources reconciliation package released this week.

Board of Lincoln County Commissioners: “We, the Lincoln County Board of County Commissioners, are writing to express our strong support of and desire to have the Bureau of Land Management's Buffalo and Rock Springs RMPs in the State of Wyoming removed and nullified. As the House Committee on Natural Resources reviews Title VIII- Committee on Natural Resources Subtitles A-C we desire to give our support of the Committee's work and approval of Title VIII. Of great interest to the Lincoln County Commissioners is Subtitle C - Federal Lands which specifically requires the prohibition of the implementation of the Rock Springs and Buffalo, Wyoming RMPs (Sections 80301 and 80302 respectively).”
BP America Inc., Andy Krieger, Senior Vice President, Gulf of America and Canada: “bp greatly appreciates your leadership and welcomes the House Natural Resources Committee budget reconciliation proposal, which includes important energy provisions for offshore production of oil and gas.

Campbell County Wyoming Board of Commissioners, Kelley McCreery, Chairman: “As the House Natural Resource Committee undertakes the mark up of the Reconciliation Bill, the County fully supports yours and the Committee's efforts to ‘Prohibit the Implementation of the Buffalo Wyoming Field Office Resource Management Plan’ [Sec 80302] specific to a ‘no future coal leasing’ decision. We must strive towards a durable solution to these fallacious decisions by the Biden Administration that are based more on political agendas versus the need to maintain our national security of which reliable, affordable energy is a basic necessity for every citizen living in the United States.”
Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, Heather Reams, President: “We applaud the House Committee on Natural Resources for their inclusion of permitting language in their portion of the reconciliation legislation that would allow for expedited permitting and protection from frivolous litigation.”
ClearPath Action, Jeremy Harrell, Chief Executive Officer: “ClearPath Action is proud to express support for key provisions related to permitting and energy leasing that are included in the House Committee on Natural Resources Reconciliation Committee Print. The provisions will not only help close budgetary gaps but also accelerate the development of American infrastructure and industrial capacity.”
ConocoPhillips, Kevin J. Avery, Vice President: “On behalf of ConocoPhillips, we deeply appreciate your support for the responsible development of our federal lands to meet the energy needs of our country and to enhance energy security for Americans and the world.

Consumer Energy Alliance, Kaitlin Hammons, Vice President: “Consumer Energy Alliance, the leading advocate of affordable and reliable energy for small businesses and families, submits this letter of support for the House Natural Resources Committee’s reconciliation provisions. These provisions bolster critical onshore and offshore lease sales, expand domestic mineral development, streamline energy project permitting processes, and promote sustainable energy development on public lands. These efforts will boost U.S. energy security and provide reliable, affordable energy to consumers across the nation, while cutting regulatory red tape that has prevented the U.S. from delivering its domestic energy goals.”
Converse County Board of Commissioners, Jim Wilcox, Chairman: “We urge the House Natural Resource Committee to move forward with Subtitle C Section 80302 as a vital step in supporting our County and the States’ custom, culture and economic foundation along with ensuring agencies uphold their statutory authority.”

legislative proposal related to section 2001 of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025 (H. Con. Res.14), which are important to Western irrigated agriculture. Specifically, we believe inclusion of funding for water storage and conveyance projects and the new program that would provide opportunities to pay for expedited environmental reviews are crucial provisions that will ensure our farms and communities are more drought resilient. We also greatly appreciate the Committee’s past and continued recognition of the value and importance of Western water infrastructure.”

As you well know, having timely and predictable lease sales is important for the success of our nation’s offshore industry. The GEA strongly supports Congressionally mandated lease sales to end the lurching effect this industry felt under the Biden Administration from little to no lease sales being
offered. The Reconciliation Package is a necessary reversal of the destructive policies of the prior administration and will allow the country to claim its destiny of energy dominance.”
