This bill would remove section 136 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7436). That section concerns a methane emissions and waste reduction incentive program for petroleum and natural gas systems.

The bill text does not describe changes to other programs, permits, or regulatory steps, or direct effects on households or consumers. No publicly available information.
Section 3 of the bill rescinds the unobligated balance of amounts made available under section 136 as in effect the day before enactment. The bill text does not list dollar amounts or include a fiscal estimate. No publicly available information on total costs or savings.
