The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) has sent a letter to U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer and the U.S. Senate expressing support for S.J. Res. 62, a resolution aimed at repealing a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rule that restricts energy development in North Dakota.

Don Larson, NFIB North Dakota State Director, stated, “Energy costs are regularly cited as a top business concern for small business owners. Repealing the Bureau of Land Management rule will allow more energy production in North Dakota. This will create jobs, lower energy costs, and stimulate the economy. Thank you, Senator Cramer for your leadership on this issue.”

A recent ballot conducted among NFIB members found that 88% support congressional efforts to streamline regulations related to oil, natural gas, and other energy sources in the United States. The organization argues that repealing the BLM rule would remove barriers to American energy production in North Dakota.

The full letter of support is available for public review.
