Don Nickles: “Yes, my colleague is correct. If any Federal agency issues what the Congressional Review Act defines as ``major'' rules…”

On the recordMarch 28, 1996
Yes, my colleague is correct. If any Federal agency issues what the Congressional Review Act defines as ``major'' rules, those rules would not be allowed to go into effect for at least 60 calendar days. However, I advise my colleague that the President, by Executive order, may declare a health, safety, or other emergency, and that particular major rule would be exempt from the 60-day delay. I would add, that the President's determination of whether there is an emergency is not subject to judicial review.
