Executive Summary
FEDERAL REGS WILL BE SUBJECT TO CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW under language included in the federal debt ceiling bill (HR 3136) signed into law by Presi-dent Clinton on March 29. The legislation provides for a 60-day review period following the issuance of any "major" final rule during which the House and Senate would be able to enact a joint resolution of disapproval of a particular regulation, causing the reg to "have no force or effect."
