Interior Secretary Convenes Endangered Species Committee (aka “God Squad”) Regarding Oil & Gas Exemption: What Companies Need to Know

In a rare move that could have significant impacts for businesses operating in regulated industries, the Trump administration has indicated plans to invoke the Endangered Species Committee, commonly referred to as the “God Squad.”  See 16 U.S.C. 1536(e); 50 C.F.R. Part 453. On March 16, 2026, the Interior Department published a notice in the Federal Register, stating that the Committee will hold a meeting – which will be livestreamed - on March 31 in Washington, D.C. to consider an ESA exemption “with respect to oil and gas exploration, development, and production activities” in the Gulf.[1]This little-known but powerful federal panel earned its nickname because it holds the authority to exempt certain projects from the protections of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), potentially clearing the way for development and other activities in sensitive habitats.

Major Questions, Major Drama

The U.S. Supreme Court’s February 20, 2026, opinion in Learning Resources. v. Trump (decided with Trump v. V.O.S. Selections), holding that the President lacks authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), is notable for many reasons — including its practical impact on the many U.S. companies who paid steep tariffs on global imports and may now be able to recover by filing suit before the Court of International Trade (CIT). That possibility and the key reasons for the High Court’s decision are discussed in our recent alert on this momentous decision.
