Under the Congressional Review Act, Congress has formally disapproved the Bureau of Land Management's rule that modifies the Miles City Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment. The resolution, adopted by both chambers, declares that the rule has no force or effect. A Government Accountability Office letter, cited in the Congressional Record, concluded that the document is a rule subject to the Act. By disapproving the rule, Congress prevents the BLM from implementing the amended plan on public lands. This action underscores congressional oversight of land‑management decisions and ensures that the plan cannot be enforced until further legislative action is taken.
