Nullifies a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule that would list the San Francisco Bay‑Delta distinct population segment of the longfin smelt as endangered. The law says the specific rule published at 89 Fed. Reg. 61029 (July 30, 2024) “shall have no force or effect,” removing that listing’s legal effect upon enactment.
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".
