A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to "Buffalo Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment".
Summary
This joint resolution seeks to nullify a specific rule promulgated by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which is titled the "Buffalo Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment." It leverages the provisions of the Congressional Review Act (CRA), a mechanism that empowers Congress to review and disapprove federal agency rules.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) formally concluded that this BLM record of decision and approved resource management plan constitutes a "rule" under the CRA, thereby making it eligible for congressional disapproval. Should this joint resolution be adopted by both the Senate and the House of Representatives and subsequently signed into law, the targeted BLM rule would be rendered legally invalid and without any force or effect, preventing its implementation.
