Overturning the Longfin Smelt Endangered Listing

Official title: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service relating to "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for the San Francisco Bay-Delta Distinct Population Segment of the Longfin Smelt".

What this does

This resolution reverses the Endangered Species Act listing of the San Francisco Bay-Delta longfin smelt. Using the Congressional Review Act, it declares that Congress disapproves the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule titled "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for the San Francisco Bay-Delta Distinct Population Segment of the Longfin Smelt," published at 89 Fed. Reg. 61029 on July 30, 2024, and that the rule shall have no force or effect. If enacted, the disapproval would strip the endangered listing from that population of the fish.
