Protect Domestic Oil and Gas Small Business Act of 2026
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Summary
The Protect Domestic Oil and Gas Small Business Act of 2026 would amend the Clean Air Act so that marginal wells—those producing 15 barrels of oil per day or less (or the equivalent) or 90,000 cubic feet of natural gas per day or less—are not subject to performance standards, monitoring, reporting, leak detection, or related regulations. It also directs the EPA to revise its rules within 180 days and to end any pending enforcement actions against those wells. The change is intended to lessen regulatory burdens on small‑scale producers.
