This joint resolution proposes to exercise congressional disapproval, under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, over a specific rule issued by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The targeted rule is the "Record of Decision for the Barred Owl Management Strategy" , which outlines management plans for barred owls in Washington, Oregon, and California. The resolution explicitly states that Congress disapproves of this rule, which the Government Accountability Office determined to be a rule under the Congressional Review Act. If passed, this joint resolution would ensure that the USFWS's barred owl management strategy would have no force or effect , effectively preventing its implementation.
