A joint resolution 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 "Record of Decision for the Barred Owl Management Strategy; Washington, Oregon, and California".

The problem

The Fish and Wildlife Service created a rule allowing killing of barred owls to protect endangered spotted owls. Some groups oppose this wildlife management strategy.

The proposal

This resolution would cancel the barred owl management rule using Congress's power to reject federal regulations.

The impact

Affects wildlife management policy in Washington, Oregon, and California, potentially changing how federal agencies manage owl populations and endangered species protection.
